TAP Air and PCR test req?

3 years ago
As I understand since Oct 1st PCR test is not longer required (USA included in the list) if person is fully vaccinated.

But airlines might have different rules and TAP being one of the most disorganized airlines in the world (they have to be best in something - right?) still has the recorded message that "All flight not from Shengen Area require PCT test".

Hold to speak to morons in TAP is 40 minutes at least and then they instead of answering question - request all info about you - not including bank account numbers and passwords - YET.

Does anyone knows the CURRENT requirements to board the plane from USA to Portugal and if they accept not only PCR, but rapid antigen test as well?

This is frustrating to say the least (Portuguese bureaucracy )

And for those who flue recently - how fast PCR test results get back? 24 hours? 48?

Stressful indeed...

Thank you in advance.
