The TAP Portugal baggage policy allows each person, unless they have a Tap Discount fare, to take checked baggage of up to 23 kg. Tap Discount ticket holders can purchase hold baggage if they would like to for an additional fee. Each bag cannot be larger than the linear dimensions of 158 cm, and this is measured by adding the height, length and width together. With a Plus or Top Executive fare, the allowance is 2 bags of 23 kg each unless flying Intercontinental when this is increased to 3 bags.
The airline recommends adding your name, address and contact information to both the inside and outside of your hold luggage in case you need to be notified of anything. It is also not advisable to put keys, important documents, perishable goods or fragile items in the hold. For safety, you should keep these on your person or in your cabin baggage.
If you are travelling with sports equipment such as golf clubs, skis or a surfboard, it can be taken in the hold free of charge if it is allowed as part of your free allocation. It does have to comply with the size and weight restrictions, however, and if it is larger or heavier it will be subject to excess baggage fees.
