Returning to Miami, TAP has an early 6am flight from Berlin that keeps the price at $2,560. Every flight to and from Berlin has a stopover in Lisbon.
Note that Google Flights may have price differences due to the availability of third party options. In this case, Google Flights shows the return business class flight from Miami to Berlin as $2,457 because this is the lowest price offered by a third-party website. However, if you book direct with TAP, the price is $2,560.
The fare is $2,560, but TAP will deduct $12 from the fare if you have a Miles&Go account.
One of the great things about this collection of discounted fares is that you can fly to Europe in the comfort of Business Class. TAP’s Business Class fare – the airline’s executive class – offers priority boarding, lounge access, seat selection, meals and beverages, and many other perks.
The executive cabin also features more spacious reclining seats and USB sockets. The fare also includes checked baggage, but if you wish to add an additional piece of baggage, it will cost an additional $170.
