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.

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.

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.

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.
