TAP Air Portugal

I have flown recently from Lisbon back to London with TAP (Air Portugal). I purchased two singles with different airlines. At the check-in and I must add it was the fastest check-in I've ever experienced the lady at the desk informed me that now they have a maximum hand luggage policy of about 6kgs. As it was close to Christmas she let me take it but I would advise you all that if you flying with TAP with a small suitcase try not to go over the 6kgs weight or you might be forced to check-in your suitcase. On the other hand I'm a frequent flyer with TAP, BA, Easyjet and so on and normally try to find the cheapest tickets at the time. TAP have come a long way and for ...  Read the complete review

I flew to Lisbon on business last week with Tap, the Portuguese airline. The reason why I flew with them is that their fare was cheaper than BA. Check in was very fast, but I was disappointed that they could not change me reservati seat. I normally prefer aisles, but I had been given a window. However, I managed to call my agent and remind them I should be given aisles and they fixed it for the return. I did not manage to go the lounge on time and went t the gate after shopping at the airport, the flight took off more or less on time and we also landed on time, on the return flight there was an announced delay of 10 min, but I ...  Read the complete review

I am a frequent flyer, who has been travelling to Brazil from UK on business and pleasure, about 3 times a year, for the last 16 year. I have not travelled to Brazil with TAP for over 10 years but since TAP has joined the Star Alliance, I have decided to try it again. Unfortunately, I have to say that I’ve had the worst travel experience of my life! My flight to Fortaleza was 3 hours late but my return was far worse. After over 7 hours from my scheduled time (longer than my flight from Brazil), I have finally reached London! The worst of all this dreadful experience was that during the whole time I did not feel anybody cared or tried to do anything to alleviate my ...  Read the complete review

I go to Portugal very often and always try to go with TAP. They seem to be quite consistent in quality and service and there flight times are good.I 've never experinced severe delays and baggage handling has been ok. Not all experiences have been great, but then tell me an airline that gets it right each and every time. On my most resent flight the food had greatly improved since the last time I had flown with them, as I think the airline was experiencing real financial difficulties and were making some cut backs to quantity and quality. They served up a hot meal which was tasty, with helpings of fresh bread, a few bottles of wine and some barley sugars ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to airlines, I would rate Air Portugal as one of the best European Airliners in service today. I travel frequently to Portugal and I will travel no other airliner. I will agree that Air Portugal need to improve their lateness record however the level of service, catering is in my opinion much superior to other supposed better and much bigger airliners. The bigger you get the more you forget about who placed you there. With Air Portugal I know I will get to my destination relaxed albiet it late but i suppose us Latins are use to lateness. I would rate Air Portugal 5 out of 5 everytime. ...  Read the complete review
