Very good find!

Also works in opposite direction (ARN-LIS-PDL-BOS) with quite some long layovers and with an A321 (maybe A330) for around €700

Seems like it only works on the double stop routing and not via LIS on the 339.

As comes with every TAP fare. Be careful about placing trips you aren't sure you will take. Getting your money back will be a problem even if they cancel the flight.

There's something special about this fare, i.e. it's possible to make long stopovers in Azores. In result you may create nice "two-in-one" trip. Here's example (for your information: PLN 3076.88 = EUR 682,18):

I see MAD at $680 for those who would rather avoid 4hrs in Euro J on LIS-ARN
Only worry would be what they will use on BOS-PDL. Should be lie-flats but in Covid times, is there a risk they run a regular A321 ?

This is a cheap fare, but even if the TATL legs are lie-flat, you'll spend more time on this ticket in European business class between ARN-LIS and LIS-PDL than you will in lie-flats between BOS and LIS.

Seems like LIS-PDL are also on the same aircraft on the LR.

Buyer beware: TAP is not honoring 24 hour free cancellation under their published policy and with DOT rules on the website: https://www.flytap.com/en-us/booking...-cancellations

If you need to book, do it through an OTA with 24hr free cancel. I had to rebook my dates and now my old ticket is going to to have to go through the DOT complaints for a refund, or worse case, a voucher, which I will have to dispute with my credit card provider if it gets there. Did I mention it's a J fare with $250 fee cancellation?

A case of where booking direct is not recommended.

Be also aware of current very strict entry rules to Sweden if you buy a fare to ARN. You may not even be allowed to board the flight.
Of course, may or may not change before your travel date...

These fare are only available from the 15th of june till 15th of august. The start date at least. It shouldn't be such a big problem. If there isn't a different situation by the summer we will have a bigger problems then not getting to the Azores and Boston.

It is a 660 Euro peak summer J fare. I am sure 250 EUR cancel fee is fine for most of us.
