- Classic and Plus: Economy with hold baggage, seat selection and, on Plus, flexibility to change.
- Executive and Top Executive: Business, 175% and 200% of the distance.
TAP fares and Bonus Miles
The last two columns are the share of the distance flown that each fare earns in Bonus Miles on flights operated by TAP and TAP Express. A flight is within Europe and North Africa or intercontinental; "Not sold" means TAP offers the fare only on intercontinental flights.

- Booking class letters: TAP does not publish a letter for each fare on its earning pages, so this chart lists fare names. The terms name letters only for upgrades: Y and B allow an upgrade to Business, and C and D an upgrade to First Class, in its upgrade terms. TAP has no First Class of its own.
- Which zone: TAP's table has two zones, "Europe and North Africa" and "Intercontinental", and does not list which countries each holds. On cwsi.net a flight counts as Europe and North Africa when both airports are in Europe (Madeira, the Azores, the Canary Islands, Türkiye and Cyprus included) or in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya or Egypt, and every other flight as Intercontinental.
How TAP counts miles
Miles are earned on all flights operated by TAP and TAP Express, whatever the fare. The amount is proportional to the distance flown in miles and varies with the fare chosen. TAP bases distance on the origin and destination on your ticket and IATA standards, and publishes no minimum per flight.
- Silver, Gold and Navigator bonus: on TAP flights Silver members earn 25% extra miles, and Gold and Navigator members 50%. TAP also says they earn the same percentage in Status Miles compared with the total miles flown. It does not spell out the exact base of the percentage, so the calculator shows it as a note and does not add it to the total.
- Other airlines: flying a Star Alliance airline earns Status Miles and Bonus Miles; flying other partners earns Bonus Miles only.
- No miles: charter flights, bus, train and ship segments, award tickets, some industry-discount tickets, and the Empty Side Seat and Extra Leg Room products. An upgraded flight keeps the miles of the fare originally bought.
- Crediting: miles from TAP flights appear within 2 days of travel. Missing miles can be claimed up to 6 months after the flight.
- Validity: Bonus Miles stay valid for 3 years from the date of the activity.

- Earning period: personal and tied to your join date. If you joined on 15 January 2025, your annual period for Status Miles ends on 31 January 2026.
- Lifetime: Gold For Life at 2 million Status Miles on TAP flights, Navigator For Life at 3 million.

Good to know
- How many miles do I earn on a TAP Air Portugal flight?
- TAP Miles&Go pays Bonus Miles on flights operated by TAP and TAP Express as a percentage of the distance flown, set by your fare and by whether the flight is within Europe and North Africa or intercontinental. For example Classic earns 70% within Europe and North Africa and 100% intercontinental, Plus 100% and 150%, and Top Executive 200% in both.
- Does TAP Air Portugal publish booking class letters for earning?
- No. TAP sets earning by fare name (Discount, Basic, Classic, Plus, Prime, Top Prime, Executive, Top Executive), so this chart lists fares, not letters.
- How do I reach TAP Miles&Go Silver, Gold and Navigator?
- Silver needs 30,000 Status Miles or 25 TAP flights, Gold 70,000 Status Miles or 50 TAP flights, and Navigator 125,000 Status Miles or 70 TAP flights, ten of them on Plus, Prime, Top Prime, Executive or Top Executive fares.
- Does a codeshare flight operated by TAP earn Miles&Go miles?
- Yes. When a partner sells a flight that TAP operates, TAP credits it like a Basic fare: 40% of the distance flown within Europe and North Africa and 50% on intercontinental flights.
