TAP’s Stopover is recognised for the eighth consecutive year by Global Traveler.

TAP Air Portugal was awarded Best Stopover Program for the eighth consecutive year at the 14th edition of the Global Traveler Leisure Lifestyle Awards. This recognition highlights the popularity and value of TAP’s Portugal Stopover program among international travellers.

The annual Global Traveler Leisure Lifestyle Awards are chosen exclusively through votes from readers of Global Traveler magazine, collected through open voting, and offer an authentic reflection of travellers’ preferences and experiences.

Manuel Simões, Key Account Manager at TAP Air Portugal; Audrey Yacou, TAP Marketing Manager; Fernanda Ottavio, TAP Market Manager for North America; Thomas Miessler, Station Manager, Miami; and Roberto Piccoli, North America Regional Manager, Airport Services, TAP Air Portugal.

TAP’s Portugal Stopover program allows Customers to enjoy a stop in Portugal, on the outbound or return leg of their trip, for up to ten days, at no additional airfare cost. TAP Passengers can explore Lisbon’s vibrant neighbourhoods, Porto’s historic charm, or venture further afield to discover Portugal’s beaches, wine regions, and cultural landmarks—adding value and flexibility to their journeys.

Customers also receive a 25% discount on a domestic flight—for example, to the Azores or Madeira—and discounts and perks with more than 150 partners, including hotels, restaurants, activities, tours, museums, cultural venues, shops, and much more.

“It is an honour to receive this recognition for the eighth consecutive year. This award reinforces TAP’s commitment to providing memorable travel experiences and is strong testimony from passengers who prioritise flexibility and the authenticity of our Airline,” said Fernanda Ottavio, TAP’s Market Manager for the United States, who accepted the award.

The 14th Global Traveler ceremony took place on April 20 in Miami and recognised leading travel industry brands based on votes from its readers.

TAP Air Portugal currently flies from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester airport in the UK and from Dublin in Ireland to Lisbon and Porto with onward connections to Brazil, Africa, Madeira, Azores, the USA and Canada.  TAP has a stop over programme allowing passengers to stop in either Lisbon or Porto on long haul journeys for up to 7 days for no additional air fare.
