The flight was excellent because I chose to upgrade to Business Class. The only negative drawback was because I upgrade, it screwed their system up and they lost my luggage for 2 days, but it was then recovered.
Web site needs improvement Plane was clean and modern Lay Flat beds were hard and not to comfortable (business class )
Boarding was delayed by one hour because cleaning and catering crews did not board the plane in time. Take off was delayed for another 40 minutes because of "rush hour scheduling". Vague descriptiion. My in-flight entertainment system was stuck initializing. The flight attendant indicated that they could not reset it without resetting everyone's system. Overall, a miserable experience.
The crew was great. There was a big guy sitting next to me who was hanging over my side of the armrest the entire time. Maybe some information about "Be considerate of your neighbors, this is tight space, be kind". The breakfast sandwich was not appealing at all.
I am not very tall, and had a difficult time getting my carry-on placed in the overhead bin while passengers were behind me waiting to get to their seats. After struggling with the luggage, I turned it around, and left it, knowing it was not properly placed, but believing there was adequate room for it in the bin. When the flight attendant came through the cabin, she asked whose bag it was, and scolded me for not positioning it correctly. She turned it around and moved on. I thought that her approach was totally unprofessional, calling out a passenger in that manner.
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.
This flight arrived late. We joined well over a thousand of other people waiting to go through customs. Air Portugal has lost my bag. We had to chase down a representative even though we had waited at the baggage claim for well over 1 hour and 35 minutes for baggage to come. No representative was there to explain the delay or to give any direction. After 1 hour and 35 minutes at least four passengers had no baggage to pick up or had a fraction of their baggage. The representative was a young woman who clearly did not have the experience to deal with what was happening. Very disappointing as of course we were dealing with great amount of jet lag and having been up for 24 hours at that point and not being able to have any of the things necessary at home that were contained in the bag was quite upsetting. That instant occurred last night at approximately 11:15 p.m. and as of 12:30 p.m. the next day I have not heard anything from Air Portugal.
Flight was delayed on 6/20 to miss international connection. Next flight out was 24 hours later. Not acceptable.
Flight from FNC to OBO was cancelled. We were rebooked to Lisbon later in the day. It was inconvenient but it worked out ok in the end.
First, I was moved from my scheduled flight at 10:45 to 6:30. Bad form as I had a scheduled lesson in the morning that I couldn't get a refund for. Second, we were bused out to the plane and bused back to the terminal and sat and sat all with NO explanation until the end of the long wait. Third, once we boarded the plane, we again sat for at least an hour WITH NO EXPLANATORY ANNOUNCEMENT. Plane left and arrived 2 hours late. I missed a train connection adding hours to my trip home. Lastly, it's time the airport is upgraded or TAP gets priority for walk-on gates. As a 74 year old, carrying my carry on luggage up and down stairs between the terminal and the plane is a pain. Might be the last time I fly TAP.
I didn’t buy any food and there wasn’t any entertainment provided. There were outlets to charge your personal electronics, which was great.
Bumpy flight (lots of turbulence) but the pilot did great in letting us know ahead of time and flying through it. There was no food/beverage or entertainment available.
The crew was friendly. But boarding was disorganized (passengers with kids or needing help were scanned first, but not given actual boarding access first). But the worst part was the plane’s air conditioning was either not working or set poorly. It was a stifling, hot flight. Extremely uncomfortable for everyone.
Everything was fine. No complaints. It would have been nice to get a drink w the flight. Also I would have liked notice that no meals were included beforehand.
They charged us 100 Euro per bag on the return leg with no explanation.
Everything was perfect, clean and very nice staff. But the seat was uncomfortable compared to other companies and the food wasnt good
Flight wasn’t full so got to stretch out and sleep.
There is one flight a day and it was canceled with no explanation
Flight was ok. Food on way there great a pork dish way back tuna and pasta was not good. Flight attendants were great. Wish they had more soda options like ginger ale seltzer water. Good experience overall. Worst part of trip was car rental Klass company car broke down we were on side of road late night 4 hours awful awful experience all they wanted was 500 euros for help to come absolutely horrible experience we were scared side of highway they offered zero help!
Waited in line for hours just to get a boarding pass which would not print at the kiosk or load on my iPhone. Waiting again for about 45 minutes to get through passport control. Poorly managed airport. The flight and crew were great and the flight was very comfortable.
