On Thursday (October 8, 2020), TAP Air Portugal announced the introduction of complimentary COVID-19 coverage. The policy will provide €500 if a customer is diagnosed with COVID-19 while traveling and hospitalized as well as an additional €500 for quarantine expenses in the event a trip must be extended. In addition to hospitalization costs, the coverage also includes a lump sum benefit of €1,000 if a hospitalized customer is admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) due to COVID-19 related complications. The coverage is automatic for customers booking round-trip domestic flights on the carrier’s website for all ticket rates except for Discount and Basic rates. The insurance is valid for booking for up to nine passengers with a maximum of 30 days, starting up to 90 days from the date of purchase. TAP Air Portugal's new COVID-19 insurance, underwritten by Chubb European Group SE, only covers permanent residents of Portugal. Full details on the insurance coverage is available here.
In addition to the new insurance coverage, all reservations booked by November 30, 2020 for travel through March 15, 2021 are eligible for free changes.
