How to get the best deal on a Lisbon — Sao Tome ticket

  • Book in advance: Due to the low flight frequency (just once a week), seats sell out quickly. We recommend starting your search 2–3 months before departure.
  • Keep an eye on the carrier: The majority of flights are operated by TAP Air Portugal, and the lack of competition on direct routes results in a fixed flight schedule.
  • Use website tools: Before purchasing, check the price trends chart and the calendar to ensure your chosen date doesn't coincide with a seasonal price spike.
  • Check baggage allowance: On long-haul flights between Portugal and Africa, fares that include checked baggage are often more cost-effective than paying for luggage separately at the airport.
