TAP Air Portugal - We have been given a voucher due to COVID as we had to cancel the flight but...
Updated by user Jun 05, 2022

We managed to use the voucher.

Original review May 04, 2022
We were given a voucher for a fraction of the price of our ticket which was cancelled due to COVID, we tried to use the voucher but it was giving us an error every time, although it is still valid. We asked the company for a refund but we have not had any response, we are very disappointed, we need either help with it to use it or a full refund of our ticket with the company.

We have tried to use the voucher for our booking to a new flight as the previous one was cancelled due to COVID but it did not work, the problem is still unresolved. We need your help to help us with or give us a refund to use for it. Yours Diana and Stephen Ramsay

Refund or credit

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After canceling our flights due to COVID pandemic we have for 2 years tried to obtain either a credit or a refund from them. If you can connect to the customer service staff and them not hanging up on you they would apologize and say they would put you on priority list for credit. We even have received an email after 1 year of attempt with yet another apology and being placed on another priority list, it has been 8 months since that email and we are still trying!

60 eu!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I flew with TP1604, Tel Aviv to Lisbon return , TP1603, on 26/11/21 - 1/12/21. At first, I reserved my seats, but AFTER I PAID 60 EU for my seat reservation, I was offered to bid on business class. I did my bid for business class, and PAID an additional $500 US for that. I expected that my 60 eu would be deducted from the $500 of my upgrade bid, but when It didn't happen on the way there, I was sure it will be deducted on the return. It was not. YOU CANNOT JUST SWALLOW UP PEOPLE'S MONEY. I WILL BE ADVICING VISA TO DISPUTE THIS AMOUNT FROM TAP, UNLESS I HEAR FROM THEM BEWAREOTHERWISE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. Sincerely, E. Gelcer

Yeah after 21 months did not pay my money so I had to book with air Canada because tap refused to answer my call so I had to pay extra $200:00 dollars só air Canada would deal with tap

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
They keeper my money $1,278:46 A flight from Ponta Delgada to Toronto that never took place because the government had shutdown all flights because of COVID-19 and I had to pay another $200:00 to air Canada so they could fix the problem discussing unbelievable these people should not have the right to be in charge of any airlines whatsoever they have no ability to run any kind of business

User's recommendation: Don’t trust tap for any reason the first time my parents and I took tap they had sold 50 something tickets to other customers and they wanted us to go hone and come back at a latter date so we all stuck together at the Airoport and demanded that they should put all of us in a hotel and we did not arrive back to Canada when we should if my mom lost her job

Covid test verify

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
There is no customer service. It's impossible to get a rep on the phone. The system is also not up to the challenge.The web is more helpful, but I would have felt better to have had a human confirm my question about the necessity or not of having a covid test before flying this Thursday.think twice before booking with them.

Tap Portugal never completed confirming one segment of my flight even though I kept getting alerts for check in and more, Im not able to do it from my phone. At the airport, I approach the agent and he asks me to wait as he cant figure out my ticket. The desk agents werent competent on how to assist and kept telling me to call TAP to whom I could never get through. Evidently, Id like to be refunded for this flight.

Missing luggage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My name is Michelle Martins da Silveira, I bought a round trip to Lisbon from Newark/NJ on the United APP (confirmation G5W5WD), supposedly to fly both ways with United airlines. On August 18th at 8:25pm my flight departed from Newark towards to Lisbon through United airlines (UA64). I was supposed to come back to Newark on September 2nd at 10:20am (UA65) but because weather disruptions and severe flooding my flight was canceled and I received a text message in the middle dawn. I tried to reebok by United app, but it was giving poor options, since I would have to stay for more 4 days in Lisbon to get another United flight. So I decided to go to the airport on my regular time as if I would take that flight (around 8am) and check with the United counter to give more options about what should I do. They offered me a flight with TAP airlines Portugal (TP 207) leaving Lisbon at 6:30pm on the same day (September 2nd) with I accepted, and then I asked the attendant at United counter if I could already check in my two luggages, and she said yes, I could go to TAP check in area and check my two bags, with I did, around 8:30am on that day. My luggages tags with TAP are (TP 204435 and TP 204437). I return to check in area around 5pm to take the flight with TAP airlines going to Newark. When I got to the Newark airport AROUND 9:17PM on September 2nd (same day) I could got from the baggage claim just one bar (204437) the other bag (204435) was missing, and I started looking for some help to do the complain. It was told me that at that time (10:30pm) nobody from the TAP airline were in the airport to help me to fill the complain about my missing bag. So a guy from the Newark airport gave me a number to call (973 624-****) to report my case and an online website (TAP lost and found link to fill it up with my data). The point is, nobody answer that number, and I cant even leave a message because the mail box is full. The online link on TAP website wasnt allowing me to successfully complete my complain, on the last step after fill up all my flight number, luggage confirmation, address etc, it shows an error that I couldn't get through, and I kept trying till 11:30pm, when I decided to rest and come back in the next day. On the next day September 3rd, I arrived in the Newark airport around 12pm since I had another flight from United to come back to my house in California (UA751) and I asked the United attendant what should I do since I had one missing bag and needed to check in to my next flight. The person said I should check in my only luggage and go to United Lost Baggage section on the first floor to complain officially about my missing luggage, with I did. I waited around 45min in the line and when I got to talk to the counter attendant, she told me that I needed to looking for a TAP agent, since I flew with TAP and she couldnt track my bag with TAP airlines numbers. So I taking my breath away run till the other terminal, and tried to ask everyone I could where should I go to complain a missing bag from TAP. The information centre girl at that terminal (B) told me that TAP airlines doesnt have a missing bag section at Newark airport, and that nobody was there at that moment, since only have people from TAP airlines when some flight is arriving or departing from the Newark airport. (With is already weird, since the last night I tried to contact someone from TAP at the time I noticed my luggage wasnt at the claim bag, and It was told me that I needed to call because nobody was there). Anyway, I decided to take my flight back home (UA 751) even though I had only one luggage, and had already paid for the two luggages, because if I stayed at the Newark airport asking for people some help, I would miss my flight and my other bag. So I came to LAX, and kept trying to fill out a missing bag on TAP website (unsuccessfully) and calling that number (973 624****) unsuccessfully too. Today, September 4th, I got finally to an call with someone from TAP airlines at the lost and found section, and they said since I bought my ticket with United, I needed to complain the missing luggage with them. Also, they said that the first 5 days from a missing bag, the responsibility for looking for a bag is the airport destination. And they gave me a link to fill out a complain at TAP website, with I did (2021-00****4519). I also tried to speak with an agent from United, and they wrote me on the chat that I needed to complain a missing bag with TAP since I flew with them. But also they gave to me a option to fill out a lost article report, with I did (2009****). The thing is, its being past 48h since I took my flight from Lisbon and nobody told me anything about my luggage, nobody takes the responsibility of my missing bag. TAP is pushing the responsibility to United and United is pushing the responsibility to TAP airlines. I really dont car4e with one is responsible, I know is I paid a very expensive ticket, I paid extra for check in my luggage and I have nothing now. They are taking my time trying to reach one and another, while the clock is ticking and nobody gives me an answer. On my luggage I have a lot of expensive items and I dont want to lose it. I will looking for my rights, Ill sue both airlines for not given a minimum job, that is fly a person and take care of they belongs. I want an answer. Michelle Martins da Silveira 917-870****

I am going through the same issue they lost my luggage and funny thing is it’s the same airport and destination… Lisbon to Newark! I will definitely look for my rights and sue them. That’s not right at all!

Misding luggage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had a fly with TAP from Dakar-Lisbon-Toronto. Try has been a nightmare since the beginning, at Dakar they charged more $700 for extra baggage, saying there was no baggage allowance in my ticket. Something I discovered at check-in, none of this was mentioned when buying the ticket. From Dakar arrived to Lisbon where I spend the night at the airport 15hours of waiting time without accommodation. From Lisbon to Toronto, the fly has been good, but at the arrival I didn't find any of checked extra luggage. It has been 48hours, no update from the claim I made. No customer available. They still not locating my baggage. And I have some perishable goods inside. This is my worst travel experience. I have learned a lesson to ovoid too cheap ticket and cheap airline. Ticket price was $1023+ $750 extra baggage fees for a total of $1783. I could have $1400 for Air Canada, Air France or Royal Air Maroc which are far better. I wanted to share with people to help them make their ticket choice. Thank you
