TAP baggage and fares: what your ticket includes
Your TAP baggage allowance depends on 2 things: the cabin and the fare. Start with the rules the airline publishes, then check what your fare covers.
TAP cabin bag: official sizes
Cabin bag: 55 × 40 × 25 cm, up to 10 kg.
Personal item (handbag, laptop): 40 × 30 × 15 cm, up to 2 kg.
Economy: 1 cabin bag per passenger. Business on Europe and Africa flights: 2 cabin bags.
TAP fares: check when booking
The official fares page could not be checked. According to third-party guides, TAP sells these fares:
Discount: no checked bag. Several sources say the 10 kg cabin bag is still included; confirm before paying.
Classic and Plus: 1 checked bag of 23 kg.
Executive: Business class, with 2 bags of 32 kg.
Basic: only on long-haul flights.
Seat and change rules vary by fare. The exact details appear before payment. Read them line by line: that is where the real price of your ticket is decided.
TAP at a glance: from 1945 to the Lufthansa deal
TAP was founded on 14 March 1945 as Transportes Aéreos Portugueses, hence the name. Its first Paris service took off in 1948. The head office sits at Lisbon Airport.
TAP joined Star Alliance on 14 March 2005, exactly 60 years after its founding. Its loyalty programme is TAP Miles&Go. The fleet is all Airbus (A319, A320, A320neo, A321, A321neo, A321LR, A330-200 and A330-900). The regional brand TAP Express, formerly Portugália, flies Embraer jets.
Who owns TAP?
TAP was renationalised in 2020. On 14 October 2026, the Portuguese government chose Lufthansa to buy into the airline, ahead of Air France-KLM (IAG had withdrawn). Lufthansa is set to buy 44.9%, plus up to 5% if staff do not buy their share, for about €1.2 billion. The state keeps 50.1%. The deal still needs EU approval. Commitments include keeping the TAP brand and the Lisbon hub.
TAP routes from France and smart train combos
From France, TAP flies from Paris-Orly, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Basel-Mulhouse, among others. In Paris it is Orly only: TAP no longer serves Paris-CDG. The wider network also covers Brussels, Amsterdam, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Popular trips
Paris → Lisbon and Paris → Porto, from Orly
Marseille → Lisbon, Bordeaux → Lisbon
Paris → Funchal (Madeira), via Lisbon depending on the flight
Paris → São Paulo, Paris → Rio de Janeiro and Paris → Praia (Cape Verde), via Lisbon
Lisbon, the gateway to Brazil and Africa
The Lisbon hub links Europe with Brazil, Africa (Cape Verde, Angola and more) and North America. Visiting family in Praia or São Paulo? A connection in Lisbon is the classic route.
3 ways to pay less
Compare airlines: on the same route, TAP competes with Vueling, Air Europa, Air France and ITA Airways.
Pick the leanest fare: if a cabin bag is enough, a fare with a checked bag adds nothing.
Think rail: a TGV to Paris before your Orly flight, or trains in Spain for a Spain + Portugal trip. Kombo books tickets from different companies in one place.
