Update:

The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

It’s time to start planning your next trip to Europe.

Right now, we’re seeing availability for business class awards on nonstop flights operated by TAP Air Portugal from the U.S. to Lisbon and Porto for several months at the end of this year and the start of next year. You can use this award space to visit Portugal or continue farther into Europe or Africa with a connecting flight, often at little to no extra cost.

Let’s look at what routes have award space and how you can book these flights with your transferable credit card points.

Portugal Award Alert — The Details

TAP Air Portugal has plenty of award space on flights from the U.S. to its Lisbon (LIS) hub and even to Porto (OPO). Award seats are available from several cities across the U.S. in late 2026 and early 2027.

While you’ll fly in TAP’s business class, you’ll book these awards through Air Canada Aeroplan. Here are the details of this award deal:

Class: Business

Dates: November 2026 to March 2027
Rates: From 60,000 points plus $60 in taxes and fees

You can use a tool like Seats.aero to compare multiple dates and cities, helping you find the availability that best works for when you’d like to travel.

How To Earn Aeroplan Points

Earning Aeroplan points is easy, thanks to partnerships with American Express Membership Rewards, Bilt Rewards, Capital One miles, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and Rove Miles. These transfers all process at a 1:1 ratio, nearly instantly. Additionally, you can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to Air Canada at a 3:1 ratio, with 5,000 bonus points for every 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points transferred.

Alternatively, you can use the Chase Air Canada Aeroplan^® Credit Card to help earn points on your daily purchases.

Final Thoughts

Finding nonstop business class awards to Europe for several months in late 2026 and early 2027 is great news. You can walk down Lisbon’s cobblestone streets, head further to Porto and Cascais, or visit other European (or African) countries quite easily.

You’ll want to move fast, though — award space to Portugal can dry up quickly, especially once more travelers start spotting these deals.
