TAP Air Portugal summer sale: One-way fares to Europe from $207
It's not too late to book your summer vacation.
TAP Air Portugal just dropped a new sale offering one-way fares to Europe for as low as $207 from the seven U.S. cities the airline serves. These discounted prices apply for travel from now through Sept. 15 and can get you to popular European destinations such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris and Rome.
The flights in this sale all involve layovers. Also, keep in mind that this sale applies to TAP's Discount tickets, the airline's most economical fares. You will get a free carry-on and a personal item with these fares, but a checked bag will cost $35 to $40 each way.
To book your trip, head to TAP's website and search the sale fares. Use the calendar function to find the best dates and filter by "lowest price." Pro tip: Search for itineraries via Google Flights (filter out all airlines but TAP) — since its interface is a bit more user-friendly, it may save you some time.
