TAP Air Portugal has revealed two additional transatlantic connections to the United States, strengthening its offerings for international passengers. Beginning in mid-May twenty twenty-five, the airline will launch nonstop flights linking Portugal's capital to the city of Los Angeles and the northern city of Porto to Boston. Moreover, a once-weekly stop on Terceira Island, part of the Lisbon-San Francisco route, will establish a direct link between the Azores archipelago and the state of California. These services are scheduled to run through late October.

The Lisbon to Los Angeles connection is set to commence on the sixteenth of May, initially operating three times per week before expanding to four weekly trips. Similarly, the Porto to Boston route will begin on the fourteenth of May with four flights weekly. Both routes are tailored to meet increasing interest in air travel between Portugal and North America. TAP will deploy state-of-the-art aircraft for these operations, ensuring timely journeys and appealing ticket prices for travelers.

For passengers, these additions unlock fresh possibilities to visit diverse destinations. The Los Angeles route grants access to iconic sites such as Hollywood Boulevard, Malibu's stunning beaches, and the Griffith Observatory. Boston, celebrated for its rich historical significance and lively cultural activities, also offers proximity to the scenic wonders of New England and its distinctive culinary highlights. The Terceira Island stopover allows visitors to experience the Azores' remarkable volcanic landscapes and unique cultural heritage.

The new Terceira-San Francisco connection holds particular importance for the Azorean population residing in the U.S., facilitating visits to loved ones and ancestral locations. For explorers, the route provides an excellent opportunity to discover the islands’ unparalleled natural wonders along with the dynamic lifestyle of the Golden State.

This expansion underscores TAP’s dedication to fostering international travel connections. For tourists, the newly introduced routes promise greater convenience, exposure to extraordinary locations, and the chance to combine multiple destinations in one itinerary. The initiative highlights the growing accessibility of both renowned and off-the-beaten-path locales across the Atlantic.
