We present our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this situation may cause.

Use of a face mask is mandatory on board all TAP flights. Therefore, all our passengers, aged over 6, must be equipped with one and guarantee that it is used during the entire duration of the journey.

The use of a face mask will only be exempted for passengers who are proven to have health problems that cannot use it. In these cases, prior to the flight and in order to travel, the passenger must have a medical authorization (MEDIF). Otherwise, boarding will be denied.

We also advise our passengers to inform themselves on specific regulations that may exist at their points of origin and destination, for example that fact that it is already compulsory at many airports to wear a face mask.

For maintenance purposes and to better respond to the needs and suggestions of our Clients, TAP informs that the Humberto Delgado's Airport Lounge will be closed between the 27th and 29th of August.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.
