Fly Groups - our website for quotation, reservation and issuance of Ad-hoc Groups, with dynamic pricing offers!
Flygroups allows Quotations and Group Bookings, on flights operated by TAP, by all IATA and Non-IATA Agencies.
If you do not yet have an account on the platform, know that creating an account on Fly Groups is easy:
Creating a Fly Groups account:
- Enter the login page http://groups.flytap.com.
- Choose "I'm a travel industry professional"
- Select “Create an Account” option.
- Fill the required data, indicating if you are an IATA or NON-IATA agent.

Quotation
If space is available you will receive an automatic price quotation for each flight. One of the following actions must be performed:
- "Save Offer" - The price is kept for a maximum period of 5 days (120 hours). If saved, TAP guarantees the price during this period, but does not guarantee the space
- "Accept Quote and Contract" - The quotation is accepted and a PNR is generated.
- "Reject" - Rejects the offer; however it will only be visible after pressing the "Save Offer" button.
If no action is taken after obtaining a quotation, it will expire after 60 minutes.
From now on, a contract is automatically associated with the quote accepted by the travel agent.
Note:
It may happen that in some periods or for some routes, during the quotation process, an automatic quotation may not be received due to the need for prior analysis by our space management department.
In this process, we will ask you to indicate some preferences / flexibility of flights / dates, etc., as well as other aspects that may be of help in the analysis.
After we receive the additional information, the following may occur:
> Rejection of the request
> Quotation is sent
> If the price is not accepted, you will need to request a new group for other dates / flights / route.

Before making any partial changes to the itinerary / dates / flights, it is necessary to first divide the number of seats requesting the change(s).
