At about 5,680 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), a nonstop runs roughly 11h55, give or take with the winds. TAP Air Portugal carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Airbus A330-900neo appears on those nonstop award segments. Less than 1% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
Settle the cabin before the program: on a long-haul trip like Los Angeles–Lisbon, it moves the price most. The cheapest economy seat connects once; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on TAP Air Portugal at a higher price. The economy floor's $180 in taxes and fees is the catch, well above the route's typical economy taxes; more points and less cash can come out ahead. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 2.6 times the points and business about 3.8 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club takes economy at 15,000 points and premium economy at 39,000. American AAdvantage is cheapest in business class at 57,500 points. First class starts at 70,000 points through Alaska Atmos Rewards on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. Of the other eight, United MileagePlus, Air Canada Aeroplan, and Delta SkyMiles are worth a look too.
In the current award data, only TAP Air Portugal shows nonstop space on Los Angeles–Lisbon, but as a Star Alliance member its seats also price through alliance partners, not just TAP Miles&Go. The cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Paris, Amsterdam, and London. The lowest premium-economy award here is a SkyTeam partner booking: Air France seats through Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.
For Los Angeles departures, Burbank (BUR) and Ontario (ONT) both cost far more at 40,000 points in economy against the 15,000-point floor and aren't worth it unless LAX has nothing. If the destination is open, Los Angeles to Amsterdam prices from 9,500 points at last check.
