TAP Air Portugal Baggage Allowance 2026

Economy Classic and Plus fares include one 23 kg (50 lb) checked bag on flights to Europe, Morocco and intercontinental destinations, and Basic adds the same bag on intercontinental trips. Discount includes no checked bag. Prime and Top Prime, sold as Economy Prime on long-haul routes, include two 23 kg bags. Executive and Top Executive include two 32 kg (70 lb) bags on every route. To and from Africa, Plus and Classic get two 23 kg bags.

Plus fares between mainland Portugal and Madeira or the Azores carry two 23 kg bags, one more than Plus gets on flights to the rest of Europe.

The cabin bag limit is 55 x 40 x 25 cm (22 x 16 x 10 in) and 10 kg (22 lb). Economy and Economy Prime passengers get one, as do Business passengers on North American routes. Business on flights to Europe, Africa, South America and within Portugal allows two. TAP does not say whether wheels and handles count toward the size, so measure them in.

A personal item can measure up to 40 x 30 x 15 cm (16 x 12 x 5 in) and weigh 2 kg (4.4 lb). It must fit under the seat in front of you, and TAP names a laptop briefcase, handbag or shoulder bag as examples. All passengers get one free, Discount included.

Discount includes one 10 kg cabin bag and a personal item but no checked bag, which you can add from 30 EUR (37 USD) online. Basic exists only on intercontinental routes and adds one 23 kg checked bag. Classic and Plus include one 23 kg bag, and Plus adds premium check-in and priority baggage. Executive fares include two 32 kg bags.

Infants on a Discount ticket lose the 10 kg baby bag that other fares include.

Each economy checked bag can weigh up to 23 kg (50 lb), and each Business bag up to 32 kg (70 lb). Size tops out at 158 cm (62 in), adding height, length and width. Anything heavier than 32 kg must go as cargo instead of baggage.

Between North America and Europe, an overweight bag (23 to 32 kg) costs 130 EUR in low season and 150 EUR in high season, and an oversize bag (over 158 cm) costs the same. A bag that is both pays double. Flights within Europe charge 75 or 90 EUR, and flights within Portugal 70 or 80 EUR. Extra bags bought online in advance start at 30 EUR (37 USD).

High season runs December 11, 2026 to January 4, 2027, March 19 to April 5, 2027 and July 1 to August 31, 2027.

Yes, 130 EUR (160 USD) in low season and 150 EUR in high season between North America and Europe, if your cabin bag breaks the weight, size or piece limit. Within Europe the gate charge is 75 or 90 EUR. On busy flights, staff may also move compliant cabin bags to the hold at no charge.

One extra bag goes to Navigator, TAP Miles&Go Gold and Star Alliance Gold members, and to TAP Platinum Visa cardholders, on any fare. The extra piece weighs up to 23 kg in Economy and 32 kg in Business. Infants under 2 get one 10 kg bag plus a stroller or car seat, unless the ticket is Discount.

For trips to or from the United States or Canada, TAP sets the allowance from the first flight in the itinerary and applies it to the whole trip. A Classic or Plus ticket that starts in North America carries its one 23 kg (50 lb) bag on every connecting leg, including onward flights within Europe.

Yes, dogs and cats can fly in the cabin if pet and carrier weigh 8 kg (17 lb) or less in a soft carrier no larger than 45 x 30 x 23 cm (18 x 12 x 9 in). Online prices start at 150 EUR (183 USD) on intercontinental flights and 70 EUR within Europe in low season. Hold transport starts at 227 EUR intercontinental, capped at 32 kg on US flights and 45 kg elsewhere. UK flights take no pets.
