زمینه فرهنگی
In Portugal, 'Até já' is ubiquitous. It is used by everyone from children to news anchors. It is considered very polite and warm.

In corporate environments, 'Até já' is the standard way to end a call if you are meeting that person later that day.
The 2-Hour Rule
If you'll see them in less than 2 hours, use 'Até já'. More than that? Use 'Até logo'.
Don't use with 'Adeus'
Saying 'Adeus, até já' is contradictory. 'Adeus' is for long or final goodbyes.
