Baggage fees
No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.
Official baggage policyHow to use this policy
Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.
Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.
TAP Air Portugal liquids policy
EU rules: 100 ml containers in 1L transparent resealable bag. One per passenger.
Family & Infants
Infant (under 2)
Infant ticket does not include ordinary hand baggage. The accompanying adult may bring one additional item of essential baby-care supplies for the flight. No universal 10% fare claim is made.
Stroller
Fully collapsible pushchair travels in the hold free when travelling with a child up to five. A pushchair within 55×40×25 cm/10 kg may instead use the adult/child cabin allowance. Gate handover is described; aircraft-door return is not guaranteed here.
Car seat
Infant hold allowance lists one foldable pushchair OR car seat OR carrycot. An approved seat used on board requires a booked seat and TAP/agent request at least 24 hours before departure; base up to 40×40 cm and installation conditions apply.
Children's allowance
Children aged 2–11 use the published Economy/Business cabin allowance, including destination-dependent Business pieces. Infant checked allowance is 10 kg/115 cm except Discount; this is not a cabin allowance.
