I don’t trust TAP–especially not to the tune of $1,000 and during uncertain pandemic time. In Septembers 2019 I cancelled a flight I had booked on TAP. They issued a voucher good for one year. So far so good. However I’ve been unable to use that voucher due to pandemic travel restrictions. I asked TAP to extend the validity of the voucher for another year due to the pandemic. No go. So all money went down the drain. And I have resolved to never again fly on TAP.
People who may be tempted to accept TAP’s offer should also knows that their customer service lines often have very long wait times, if not busy signals. Even if they answer the line often drops as you try to navigate their IVR. That experience applies no matter if you call their NA or PT numbers. Emails take weeks to get a response. Their CS makes even Air Canada look good. Perhaps there’s a better experience for Gold members. But I’m not going to find out. Good luck to those brave enough to take the risk.
One Mile at a Time is saying you can’t book Emirates First Class on TAP: https://onemileatatime.com/redeem-tap-air-portugal-miles/
If this wasn’t covid times and they offered star alliance gold for a year … I would snap this up
Only Qantas and Emirates can book into EK F after Mar31,2021…
Has it been confirmed that TAP is off the table?
Hi Ricky, you cant use tap miles to fly emirates first class, but you can do business and the best sweet spot is between austral africa and asia. there is also a fifth freedom flight that was interesting between bcn and mexico city on emirates.
Thanks for the heads up, seems like there’s a fair bit of uncertainty about TAP/Emirates, and it’s a tough one to verify for myself as well. I’ve gone ahead and modified the article to highlight the Emirates business class sweet spots instead.
Very interesting! Thank you
