Special meals

Enjoy dishes specially prepared for you.

Every TAP passenger is unique and we provide special meals to meet their needs.

Please request a special meal when booking your flight and at least 24 hours before departure. This service can be requested online, from our Contact Centre, at a TAP office or from your travel agent.

Special meals are available:

On certain flights, especially those including layovers, special meals are not available, with the exception of kosher meals, which can always be ordered.

Food allergies and intolerance

If you suffer from a serious food allergy, you can request an appropriate special meal when booking or at least 7 days before departure.

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.
