Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve & the Azores — Europe's best-value destination
Portugal has become one of Europe's most popular destinations, offering incredible food, stunning coastline, historic cities, and some of the continent's best prices. TAP Air Portugal's hub in Lisbon means excellent connectivity and frequent sales from the US. The Azores, Portugal's mid-Atlantic islands, are an emerging adventure destination with surprisingly short flight times from the East Coast.
January through March and November offer the cheapest flights. September and October offer warm weather at lower prices than summer.

When is the cheapest time to fly to Portugal?
January through March offers the lowest fares, with TAP sales bringing roundtrips from NYC/Boston under $400. The Azores often have even cheaper fares — sometimes under $300 roundtrip.
Should I fly into Lisbon or Porto?
Lisbon has more US routes and is the TAP hub, so fares are typically cheaper. Porto is ideal for northern Portugal and the Douro Valley. Consider flying into one and out of the other.
What are the Azores?
The Azores are nine Portuguese islands in the mid-Atlantic, roughly 4 hours from the US East Coast. They offer dramatic volcanic landscapes, whale watching, and hot springs at a fraction of mainland European prices.
