TAP Air Portugal Launches 50% Discount on Second Stopover Flights to Boost Tourism

TAP Air Portugal has unveiled a major update to its acclaimed Stopover program: travelers booking through September 8, 2025, can now add a second stopover in Portugal at 50% off the airfare for that leg, doubling the value compared to TAP’s usual 25% stopover discount. This offer is valid for travel starting September 1 and makes it easier for visitors to experience destinations beyond Lisbon and Porto, such as the Algarve (Faro), Madeira, the Azores (Ponta Delgada, Terceira, Porto Santo), and more.

The first stopover remains free for up to 10 days in Lisbon or Porto; the new half-price second stopover applies to domestic TAP flights connecting Portugal’s mainland with its islands, or between key regions. To redeem, travelers must book via TAP’s official website, app, or through a travel agent and complete booking by the September 8 deadline. After booking, eligible passengers receive a unique promotional code for the discounted second segment.

This promotion aims to revitalize Portugal’s tourism by encouraging longer stays and deeper exploration, adding value for international visitors and potentially boosting local economies across less-visited regions.

Key Points:

  • 50% discount on airfare for a second stopover in Portugal; first stopover remains free.
  • Bookings must be completed by September 8, 2025, for travel beginning September 1.
  • Applies to domestic routes between Lisbon/Porto and destinations such as Faro, Madeira, the Azores, and Porto Santo.
  • Offer available via TAP Air Portugal’s online booking and partner travel agencies.
  • Initiative supports tourism recovery and encourages travelers to discover more of Portugal beyond classic gateways.
