Tap Air Portugal baggage allowance

TAP Air Portugal’s checked baggage policy ultimately depends on the fare type and destination. Most Economy fares include one checked bag up to 23 kg (50 lbs) and a maximum size of 158 cm when length, width, and height are combined. Passengers with Executive Class tickets are allowed up to 32 kg (70 lbs) per checked bag. On some flights, Economy fares may not include free checked baggage, allowing passengers to add it for an extra fee. Additionally, TAP offers reduced rates when purchasing additional baggage online. Don't let fees get the best of you, use Nannybag luggage shipping to send your bags for a flat fee.

Economy Class passengers can bring one cabin bag (55 x 40 x 25 cm, up to 10 kg) and one personal item, such as a handbag or laptop case (40 x 30 x 15 cm). Executive Class passengers are allowed two hand luggages, each within the same size and weight limits. TAP enforces carry-on luggage restrictions at the gate, so items that exceed these measurements may need to be checked and could incur additional fees!

If your checked baggage exceeds the weight limit (usually 23 kg for Economy or 32 kg for Business Class), TAP Air Portugal charges an excess baggage fee based on the amount over the allowance and the flight route. You may pay these fees at the airport, but it’s often cheaper to add extra weight to your checked luggage online in advance if you anticipate your bag may exceed the limit.

Make sure to check the dates for peak and off-peak seasons depending on the destination during your planning! Another option is to use Nannybag luggage shipping. Send your bags and pick them up once you arrive. Travel stress-free and hands-free with Nannybag.

If you have oversized luggage with TAP Portugal, additional fees will apply based on the bag’s dimensions and weight overage. TAP Portugal’s maximum size for checked baggage is 158 cm in combined dimensions (length + width + height). Bags exceeding this size are subject to an oversized baggage fee, which varies depending on the destination and the amount of excess.

The cost of excess baggage on TAP Air Portugal flights varies depending on the destination and the type of excess (additional bag or overweight bag). Fees for overweight bags generally range from €50 to €200, depending on the route. Checking and paying for extra baggage online before your flight may help reduce these fees. TAP Air has a designated page to check the fees on their website. If you're looking for a flat rate, consider using Nannybag luggage shipping!

TAP Air Portugal typically does not weigh personal items, but they do ensure that items adhere to the size and carry-on policy. Personal items should be small enough to fit under the seat in front of you comfortably.

TAP Air Portugal is fairly strict about carry-on sizes. Hand baggage must not exceed 55 x 40 x 25 cm and has a maximum weight limit of 10 kg (22 lbs) for both Economy and Business Class. Passengers traveling with infants may bring a baby stroller in place of their hand baggage, provided it fits within these dimensions. Bags that exceed these limits may need to be checked in, potentially incurring additional fees, especially if detected at the gate.

On busy flights or if the overhead space is limited, TAP Air Portugal may ask passengers to place larger cabin bags in the hold free of charge. In this case, the bag will be tagged at the gate and returned to you upon arrival at baggage claim.
