A route missing here means the carrier did not appear in results for that week, which is not the same as not flying it.
- Is TAP Air Portugal the cheapest way to reach LIS?
- Yes. On BOS to LIS, TAP Air Portugal was the cheapest carrier at $581. That is unusual: most flag carriers are beaten into their own hub by an airline selling connecting traffic.
- Has Jon flown TAP Air Portugal?
- Yes. TAP Air Portugal is on the flown roster, which is what lets any cabin review of it be labeled Flown rather than Researched. This page is about fares, not seats; any seat review publishes separately and carries its own label.
