Boarding process was fast and efficient. Short flight but on time and well organized. I would certainly fly TAP again.
The layover was only one hour and a huge line for passport control. If I didn’t cut the line and argue was every single official, I would’ve spent the night in this one. Obviously.TAP AIR people. do not take into account.this problem with their flight scheduling, which is extremely frustrating. Poor food choices, on the pasta was offered, they ran out of chicken right away. All the sodas and water poured in a tiny 70 mL cups, which is not enough to keep hydrated on the long flight. I had to ask for 34 cups at a time. Flight attendant seemed to be tired and overworked.
Very borderline, low budget airline without low budget prices There are no counts of soda, everything is dispensed enlarged bottles and poured into tiny cups about 70 mL so in order to keep hydrated you have to take 3-4 cups at a time. Also, there was only one food item offered, pasta, they ran out of chicken right away. Snack was very poor. It was called tuna sandwich, which is truly borderline. The flight attend attendance seemed to be overworked and tired.
There was no warning that they have added passport control after check in, the line was enormous and after 46 mins wait we missed our flight. Were forced to leave the airport and purchase new tickets at full price to board a later flight. TAP were unsympathetic and unhelpful.
Boarding we were jammed into a hot crowded bus waiting too long while another bus went in front of us. Appreciated blanket and pillow, movie available helped time pass, the food was not appealing so I had my own snacks, the flight is long, but nothing they can do about that. Staff adequate, flight good.
Tap was very frustrating in Lisbon. Not enough direction and help. Mixed messages of where we needed to go. Seats were not very comfortable.
I had a business class ticket from EWR to Madrid with a layover at LIS for 11 hours. It was obvious that I needed to pick up my luggage in Lisbon for 11 hours and check it in again when boarding the second flight to Madrid. Before buying the ticket, I called TAP customer service. Customer service assured me that I could get my luggage in Lisbon. When I arrived at Newark airport, I immediately asked to check my luggage to Lisbon. However, the TAP employee refused me, saying that I should resolve this issue upon arrival in Lisbon. She checked my luggage to Madrid. I asked the TAP employee at the gate to help me when boarding the plane, I asked the flight attendants manager on board the plane to help me. All the employees refused to help me and said that I should resolve this issue in Lisbon. It took me 4 hours to resolve this issue in Lisbon. I arrived at 11am and they didn't give me my luggage until 3pm. As a result, I was so tired after a sleepless night on the plane and 4 hours on my feet at the airport and all my plans were ruined that I couldn't fly to Madrid. It was a terrible experiance,
Check-in guidance for transfer flight, boarding, in-flight service, seat comfort, etc.
We flew TAP last October from Newark to Lisbon. The meal was bad. This flight had good food. Also, this flight was delayed. There were TAP employees waiting at Lisbon to make sure we made our connecting flight. I find the TAP website and app frustrating, but the service once we reached the airport was very good
Flight being delayed for 35 minutes had me lose the connection to my transport
