New plane, low price, flat beds. Lots to love…
West Coast is a flight where a bed really comes in handy. You’re faced with more than 10 hours in the air, and without a place to stretch out the journey alone can be a bit of a scare. San Francisco is also a city where you’ll need your energy, thanks to endless hills and beautiful sights worth exploring. Right now there are awesome flight deals which allow you to get there in a business class flat bed from £530 one way or £1050 round trip.
That’s pretty stellar, and they’re even available in SUMMER!…
The Flight Deals
TAP Portugal is a Star Alliance airline on a mission. They’re offering free stopovers in Portugal if you want to break up the trip, as well as super low business class deals to some of the best places in the USA. This week the big destination is San Francisco. TAP are using their brand new Airbus A330-900neo on this long haul route, which means you’ll get their very best business class seats.
The very lowest prices are available from Dublin, but there are also deals worth checking out from London, Helsinki and Manchester.
The Travel Dates
These deals are available for Wednesday, Friday or Sunday departures from June 2019 through January 2020, even including peak December holidays. For most dates there’s hardly any minimum stay required, but really – it’s San Francisco, it’s worth staying a few days – even if just for the wine.
How To Book These Deals
These deals can be booked directly with TAP, and you can find them on Google Flights with your wizard skills. Here are the best one way deals from Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Manchester and Helsinki. Here are the best round trip deals from Dublin. The savings are so large from Dublin, it could be worth using points or a cheap flight to start there. Hey, it’s a bad across the Atlantic. That’s worth a bit of effort!
Oh and don’t forget, you can use the TAP Stopover program to spend up to 5 days in Lisbon for no additional airfare. Simply find a date on Google Flights where flights are cheap, and then head here to the TAP Stopover Program to book in.
I just made a booking for my family of 4 for summer travel DUB-LIS-SFO. Children fare is cheaper by 85 euro by the way.
Not a bad deal… looks like I’ve got booked into J class… which should earn 150% to 200% RDM on alliance partners depending on which one.
Now I need to figure out how to get from SEA to DUB and then return trip from SFO to SEA but that’s an easier part. Worse case looks like I can cancel this without a fee within 24 hours.
By the way, TAP oneway search engine gives 1-5 day stop over but if you need more you can search it by doing multi city. I’ve got 6 days of free stopover at LIS doing multi city booking. you just have to play with the dates.
