This is a strategic design that can be a positive factor in your flight arrangements when traveling between those states. For instance; a United States founded frequent flyer program will generally charge you more for a flight from Alaska or Hawaii to Europe than flights between Europe and the conterminous United States. These are the 48-adjoining American states, and Washington, D.C on the North American continent.

However, this it’s not the case with your TAP Portugal – Miles&Go program!
