What baggage allowance may apply on an itinerary with TAP Air Portugal?

TAP hold-baggage allowance depends on fare, destination, cabin and traveler status. On a multi-carrier itinerary, identify the rule shown for the exact ticket instead of assuming TAP's allowance governs every segment.

Important exceptions

  • Traveler status changes the result only when it applies to the ticket.
  • A multi-carrier itinerary can use another carrier's baggage rule.

What to do next

  1. Read fare and cabin

    Use the fare and cabin on the current TAP ticket.

  2. Match the destination

    Apply the allowance branch for the exact route.

  3. Verify traveler status

    Use only a current status benefit attached to the traveler.

  4. Resolve multi-carrier travel

    Check the exact ticket and operating carriers before applying one rule throughout.
