The Client is wholly responsible for associating bookings, which assumes the prior authorisation of the person who made the booking if it is not the account holder.

Change Bookings

Something unexpected came up? Your plans have changed? If the rules of your fare allow it and a condition is that immediate payment is made, you may use this feature to change your booking. This feature is available 24 hours a day at www.flytap.com, in the Client Area of your TAP Account or through our apps on any mobile device.

Quicker and simplified booking process

The use of a credit or debit card by someone who is not the cardholder implies that the User has obtained the cardholder’s permission. The credit or debit card holder is always responsible for ensuring payment of charges made using their card.

The User must not interfere in any way with the operation or functioning of the booking area, or of any other area available via TAP Air Portugal websites.

The User furthermore agrees to comply with the terms and conditions, and is responsible for all expenses, commissions, taxes and other costs that may arise from using TAP Air Portugal websites and/or its systems and booking and purchasing areas.

Booking additional services

You may add additional and complementary bookings of services to your flight booking at any time, such as hotel accommodation, car hire and insurance, among others. (See here for all available services). You may also directly add hotel accommodation, car hire and travel insurance to your booking.

Cancellations, Refunds and Invoices

Have your travel plans changed? With the online refund feature you can cancel your booking up to 24 hours prior to departure and request a refund of your ticket price. The option will be available if your fare allows flexible and available booking changes. Depending on the conditions of the fare, you can then make a refund request.
