With an average reduction of 34% in the Discount branded fares (the lowest ones), TAP made available, from now on, prices from 32 euros one way, with all taxes included. Reservations available from today through the company website or through travel agents, for flights starting from October 1.
This change is part of the measures set out in TAP’s Strategic Plan, which includes, among others, the retrofit program of its medium-haul fleet, to improve aircraft cabin interiors and thus provide more comfort and a better travel experience to all Customers.
Starting from mid-September 2016 on, this program involves an investment of 40 million euro.
This is another step for the "New TAP", which strengthens itself and becomes increasingly competitive, launching a new travel paradigm by creating fares which are tailored to the needs of each customer.
All Passengers can choose, easily and transparently, the option that best serves the purpose of their trip, the one that fits their needs.
From now on, it is the Customer who chooses the conditions and the price of his trip, paying only for the services he wishes to use.
Four branded fares to travel in Economy and two in Business are as of today available, which correspond to six different fares and associated services, always with the same comfort and confidence when travelling with TAP.
For those who prefer to travel only with hand luggage or simply with a backpack, within a short break in an European city, can find in the new Discount fare a very competitive low cost price, with an in-flight service that includes meals and drinks, mileage accrual, access to digital Media kiosk, with a choice of national and international newspapers and TAP in-flight magazine.
Regardless of the chosen fare option, customers can also purchase the complementary services provided by TAP after the booking process.
Passengers wishing to travel with checked baggage and those who wish to book their seats on board, may choose the Basic fare and the Classic fare, respectively.
Customers who look for even more comfort and flexibility, can select Plus fare, which allows them to book a front seat, to benefit from priority check-in and all the flexibility in rebooking tickets, among other advantages.
In Business class, Executive fare offers a journey with all the usual Business comfort, yet with more attractive prices, allowing access to the lounge and differential boarding.
With Top Executive fare, comfort and flexibility are unlimited. Passengers may change or request ticket’s full refund without any cost, moreover, enjoy free Valet Parking service in Lisbon, Porto, Faro and Funchal, and earn more miles. ■
