from Thursday, you can buy tickets from TAP at prices “low cost”. Learn how in ten questions.
TAP will start this Thursday to sell tickets at prices “low cost” to flights conducted from October to European destinations and north Africa. The new commercial strategy aims to combat competition from carriers such as Ryanair or easyJet. In practice, if the passenger forego certain services such as checked baggage, you can buy tickets at lower prices, but travel on airplanes of the Portuguese air transports.
Here’s how it will work.
1 the pass costing tickets
in the simulations of TAP, the cheapest trip from Lisbon to London cost 69 euros; now, it will cost from 39 euros. For Paris, the price drops to 44 euros to 32 euros. As for Madrid goes from 42 euros to 38 euros. Still, to Brussels, the price drops to 52 euros to 35 euros. Simulations are for flights from Lisbon, just for a trip (the return will cost the same) and include all taxes. These new prices will be included in Discount class that on average represent a price fall of around 34%, ensures TAP.
2 Other rates will be more expensive?
TAP ensures that the remaining tariffs will be cheaper. With this change, will have six charges, four in Economic (the Discount will be the cheapest) and two in business (the more expensive the Top Executive)
3 What a difference. service between the low cost price and the others?
Inside the plane, the services of all economic classes are equal. For example, the four will be entitled thereto meal and the same seat type. But the passenger low cost will only be entitled to carry a cabin baggage up to 8 kg, can not score place the moment you purchase the ticket (only set at check in) and only accumulate 10% of the miles.
4 What are the characteristics of other charges?
As we have seen, Discount (the cost low) is suitable for those traveling with only hand luggage. The following tariff, Basic, includes a bag of free basement. Then, the Classic has all the services of Basic, but you can book the place when purchasing the ticket. In addition to these services, Plus you can change the reservation without having to pay for it. There will also be two executive tariffs. The Executive imposes some limitations on rebooking or refunds. Finally, the Top Executive is to have more flexibility.
5 There will be low cost prices on air bridge Porto-Lisbon?
On flights between porto and Lisbon there will be three rates, all in economy class: a. Discount (low cost), the Basic and Plus
6 After buying a Discount ticket, you can send a luggage to the basement?
Yes, but for a price. Up to 24 hours of travel, a luggage up to 23 kg will cost 20 euros. If you buy on the journey, the price rises to 35 euros.
7 is guaranteed that I can buy a ticket at that price?
All companies they are changing the prices as the tickets are sold, so it is not guaranteed to be able to buy travel for the advertised price. But the low cost travel TAP – as in any other – buy in advance maximizes the chances of getting a ticket for the advertised value. There will be a limit of tickets sold to price low cost number:. While there are seats on the plane and travelers interested in cheaper rate, TAP sell tickets
8 The trips are made on planes TAP ?
Yes, the aircraft will be the same. Within each may travel passengers with tickets of all rates.
9 When you enter into force?
