TAP Portugal has a good sale to London. Rarely do cheap European fares outside of Icelandair allows for a stopover. But this fare allows you to stopover in Lisbon for up to 84 hours. We are currently in Portugal and a 3 day-ish stopover is a perfect amount of time to get a good feel of Lisbon. We found availability from:

• New York [JFK]
• Boston [BOS]
• Miami [MIA]

Here are some practical travel tips for Lisbon.

Sample Travel Date:

• Sample from New York
• New York to London: November 7th
• London to Lisbon: November 14th
• Lisbon to New York: November 16th

Fare Availability:

• Valid for travel on the outbound from November – early December. Must purchase at least 7 days in advance of departure.

• Please note that while this fare is valid at time of posting, if this post is more than two days old, the fare is likely gone.

How to Search for Availability:

• Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and use the following search criteria:
  • Departing from: JFK
    • For availability from other cities, replace JFK with airport code listed above
  • Outbound Advanced Routing Code: lis
  • Destination:  LON
  • Return Advanced Routing Code: lis /minconnect 1440
    • The /minconnect 1440 is telling ITA to search for connections of at least 24 hours or 1,440 minutes. We are doing the Lisbon stopover on the return as itineraries even without the stopovers included long layovers on the return. Change the 1440 to something longer to search for your optimal stopover. Remember, this fare only allows up to an 84 hour stopover or 5,040 minutes. ITA will error out with searches over 4,000 minutes tho.
