Food allergies and intolerance


In case you have a serious food allergy, you can request a special meal provided that you have a flight booking. To book your meal, simply call our Contact Center up to 7 days before your flight's departure date.

If you suffer a serious allergy from inhalation of or exposure to a particular food, TAP is not able to guarantee that the plane’s cabin is free of the allergen in question, as on board service cannot be altered and it is not possible to monitor foods or products brought on board by passengers.

 
We recommend that you see your doctor before travelling and carry appropriate medication in your hand luggage.
