Children information
Infant Fares
TAP offers special infant fares for passengers up to 23 months, who do not occupy a seat and must be accompanied by an adult.
However, if the infant turns two years of age by the return date of the journey, the passenger cannot travel as an infant and must occupy a seat priced at a child fare for the entire journey.
In this case, for safety reasons a car type seat must be used on all flights in which the infant is not 2 years of age. The child must still be accompanied by an adult passenger.

If you purchase a seat for your infant, you must use a car seat. A car-type infant seat is accepted and placed on a regular cabin seat (front or rear facing), subject to the following conditions:
* For infants only up to 2 years of age
* The car-type seat has to be approved for air transport by an official state department, like the European regulation R44/03, and it will contain the label "ECE R44/03"
* The base of the car-type infant seat may not exceed the dimensions of 15.7 x 15.7 in/40 x 40 cm
* This seat must have shoulder belts for the infant safety
* The infant must be seated at a window seat.
* The infant cannot sit in an emergency row or the row immediately in front or behind the emergency row.
* A regular passenger seat must be booked for the infant and the according applicable child fare shall be paid.

Health documentation
Please visit the Direcção Geral de Veterinária website (National Veterinarian Society) and select the option "Controlos Veterinários." Here, you will find more detailed information about the traveling of domestic animals coming from European Union Members and non-EU countries.
If you are traveling to Brazil with a pet, you must take the following requirements into consideration:
* International Health Certificate issued by the animal health authority of the exporting country (Agency, Department, Ministry, Secretariat) signed by an official veterinary doctor of the exporting country. International Health Certificates signed by private veterinary doctors are not acceptable.
