Wow...that's pretty solid. ^

We're flying home from Europe this summer on TAP, originating in MAD, stopover in LIS for 3 nights. 5 of us including two kids so we just took the coach option. $340 one way with bags. (Going over there using Avios on EI.)

Sounds like TAP is trying to grow brand awareness and market share in the U.S. It's one of those airlines I've barely paid attention to until about a year ago. I've been warned that I'm probably going to fall in love with Lisbon and want to go back to Portugal again to see more of the country. So maybe not my last TAP flight...especially since they offer stopovers in any fare bucket they sell.
