The free baggage allowance in the hold can be established based on weight (weight concept) or the number of pieces (piece concept) to be transported.
TAP currently uses the piece concept on all flights. The same applies to flights operated by TAP Express.
Following international regulations for Health and Safety at Work conditions, TAP does not carry checked baggage volumes that weigh more than 32 kg each. Baggage/volumes that weigh more than 32 kg must be transported as cargo (visit the TAP Cargo website).
BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE by ROUTE and by BRANDED FARE
On TAP flights, the number of items that passengers can carry free of charge in the hold depends on the fare and flight destination:

IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SEASONAL BAGGAGE EMBARGO ON AFRICAN ROUTES
TAP maintains the extra baggage embargo to/from some African destinations as listed below.
During this embargo it is not permitted to book and sell any extra baggage for the following routes and dates:
2023/2024
Having as a final destination ACC, DSS*, VXE, RAI*, OXB*, TMS:
- Christmas/New Year – from 09DEC23 to 08JAN24*
- Easter – from 15MAR24 to 31MAR24*
- Summer – from 08JUN24 to 08SEP24
*Final destination OXB, the Christmas period will be anticipated to 11NOV23 and the summer period will beextended with an embargo until 27SEP24.
*Final destination DSS, the summer period from 15JUN24 to 27SEP24 should be considered.
Having as a departure point ACC:
- Christmas/New Year – from 25DEC23 to 08JAN24
- Easter – from 01APR24 to 07APR24
- Summer – from 08JUN24 to 08SEP24
No excess baggage (weight and/or dimensions) or extra luggage will be accepted. Only the baggage that is included on the fare issued and within the regular allowance, i.e, the sum of the three dimensions (height, width and length) not exceeding 158 cm and a maximum weight of 23 kg in Economy class or 32 kg in Business class.
This restriction applies to all tickets, regardless of the type of product purchased or Frequent Flyer status, with the exception of the DISCOUNT ticket, where one piece of paid baggage (FBAG = first bag) can be added.
Any request of Sports Equipment, SBAG, XBAG, BULK, AVIH, MUSS, MUSM or MUSL will not be accepted.
New reservations for travel on those dates and routes (according to the mentioned direction of travel) will receive the status “UC” or “NO”.
When booking connecting flights, “UC” or “NO” messages will only be sent to the flight of the above-mentioned routes. Feeder or de-feeder flights will not receive such status, so be careful not to book an extra bag or service on one of these flights (as it will not be accepted on the African route).
MOST SIGNIFICANT CARRIER (MSC) - travel involving other airlines
Since 01APR2015, on journeys not covered by the US Reservations, the Most Significant Carrier (MSC) is the Marketing Carrier.
a) The first marketing carrier crossing the IATA tariff Area (for travel across one Tariff Area);
b) The first marketing carrier crossing the IATA Sub-area (for travel within a Tariff Area);
c) The first carrier flying an international sector (for travel within a Sub-Area);
According to IATA Reso 302, whenever there is a stopover at an intermediate point, the system breaks down the baggage calculation and a new assessment of baggage allowance and charges can be applied from that point. However, if the itinerary only contains TAP flights and no Interline operating flights, TAP allows keeping the same free baggage allowance from origin/destination even if a stopover occurs. This exception is only valid for routings totally flown on TAP/NI/WI-operated flights.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If the journey starts on a flight operated by another carrier, do not issue an EMD for extra baggage. The charge for additional baggage is paid directly to the carrier making the first leg and checking in the baggage to the final destination."
Please note that if passengers have separate tickets, whether TAP or TP/Interline, it is not possible to check in the luggage to the final destination.
Therefore, baggage will be:
- Labelled only for the leg of the first ticket
- Collected by the passenger at the end of the journey of the first ticket
- Checked in again to the final destination

PRECAUTIONS WITH LUGGAGE
GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
NOTE:
Please note that if passengers have separate tickets, whether TAP or TP/Interline, it is not possible to check in the luggage to the final destination.
Therefore, baggage will be:
- Labelled only for the leg of the first ticket
- Collected by the passenger at the end of the journey of the first ticket
- Checked in again to the final destination
- Baggage should always be properly labelled with name and address and locked with a key or padlock.
- Some items may not be carried in the hold, but can be carried as hand baggage:
- Fragile or perishable items;
- Essential medicines;
- Keys;
- ID documents or passport;
- Professional or academic documents;
- Samples;
- Electronic devices (for example laptops, tablets or portable DVD players).
- Bottles of alcoholic beverage and/or olive oil are allowed as checked baggage up to 5 litres per passenger. Larger quantities will be considered transportation of merchandise and, as such, is subject to special conditions for storage and import/export that can only be carried out by registering these goods as cargo. However, the quantity officially permitted by the import laws of the country of destination and that authorized by the airline, whichever is the lower, shall always be checked beforehand. See the restrictions of TAP here.
- TV screens must be dispatched as cargo - TAP AIR CARGO (link)
- When checking baggage, passengers must ensure the baggage claim tag shows the correct final destination.
- When collecting the baggage, passengers must make sure the number on the tag is the same as the number on the claim ticket.
- Bags must not be overfilled.
- Complaints about baggage irregularities should be reported immediately to TAP staff before leaving the baggage claim area when the bags are claimed or are discovered missing.
For safety reasons, TAP advises all passengers not to transport baggage of others unless they know what it contains.
