TAP Air Portugal has taken a significant step forward in making air travel more financially accessible for its customers by partnering with Klarna, a leading FinTech company, to introduce flexible payment solutions.
- Customers booking tickets on TAP’s official website, flytap.com, can now opt to “Pay in 3” with Klarna—splitting the total cost into three equal, interest-free instalments.
