COVID-19: Procedures - update of 01apr20
Expired

These procedures are no longer valid

With the reduction of the operation from 01APR20  to just a few weekly flights to Madeira and the Azores and the reduction of the teams due to the labour situation in which TAP is due to enter from now on, TAP once again decided to simplify even further the procedures for all tickets already issued until 31 MAR 20  for travel up to 31 MAY 20.

For passengers with tickets issued in these extraordinary circumstances, TAP will offer a discount of € 25 or € 100, depending on the route, for new dates/routes. See details below.
