Boarding at the airport

At TAP, we use a system of zones and queues to board our passengers, taking into account their needs and ticket type. Boarding is done according to the following priorities:

1. Families with children up to 5 years old and passengers with special needs;
2. Passengers with Premium Boarding;
3. Passengers from zone A and, sequentially, zones B and C.

A free and exclusive boarding for Customers traveling with Top Executive and Executive fares, and for Customers with Navigator, TAP Miles&Go Gold and Silver status.

If this service is not included in your ticket, you can easily purchase it as an extra, regardless of the fare you are traveling with in Economy Class (Discount, Basic, Classic or Plus).

Prices may vary depending on the purchase channel*, the time in advance of the purchase, the trip date and the origin and destination. Check the price of Premium Boarding, applicable to your trip, during the booking process or, later, through Manage your Booking.
For transactions made outside of Europe, the service fee will be converted from the fixed USD amount to the local currency (except Canada).
*Purchase channel: Manage your Booking, online Check-in, TAP kiosks and counters at the airport, TAP Contact Center and Travel Agencies.
