Not particularly on-topic of me, but: was TAP tragically bad? A few reviews made their J seem decent. Curious about your experience.

For LIS, I am not sure about the PP Lounges but *A passengers would be able to access the TAP Lounge where passengers on OW carriers can't.
I have no idea for FAO.

So anyone finding sub-$2000 fares from SFO still?
Because it looks like in the latter half of August, the fares go up over $2500 and in September, they're over $3000.
Are the sub $2000 fares all gone? Of course we know the schedules in the summer and beyond are all tentative anyways. But either the airlines are pricing higher later in the summer than June and July because they think travel restrictions will be lifted by then or people have made actual bookings for late August and into September, driving the prices up.
At least that would be how things normally operate right, greater demand drives up prices or the airlines forecast demand to go up? But in these uncertain times, it's maybe more of a crapshoot?

Ah ok, I missed that it's only Italy.
I tried your SFO-FCO link above, tried changing airlines.
Then tried changing destination.
So Switzerland, France, Austria, Germany, etc. are about $500 more or higher.

Note that many of the AC flights have 2+ Segments per direction, making it an ideal partner airline to credit to UA for PQP earning a preferred partner and 200% earnings.
