Seating too tight, no way to reclining No USB outlets
They ran out of food and on the flight back to NY there was no wifi nor any socket to connect your plug to charge your phone. Also the crew was not friendly as they did not want to throw out my empty water bottle after she told me to hold on to it and then said no.
Boarding slow and chaotic. Food was terrible. Flight attendants were nice. Sears were comfortable.
food was terrible on the plane, bring your own food, its not worth eating.
I feel like the boarding process could be a little better. But the staff and everyone does a really great job.
Flight was good. Would be great if we had free WiFi
Flight was late, and not sure why. The business class lounge in Porto is not proprietary to TAP, and is really substandard, almost as bad as "The Lounge" in Boston. It was a D, which is better than the F experience in Bostonm where we left "The Lounge" for a better experience in the terminal. It had better food (an extremely low bar), ok beverages, and wasn't as crowded as the Boston one, but no restrooms. To use one, you had to leave and go downstairs. There's no down escalator, and the elevator might be able to crowd 4 people. Otherwise, you're carying your bags down the stairs. I hope the Lisbon club is better, but for TAP to provide this in the 2nd largest city in the home country is disappointing. They put out an announcement to proceed immediately to the gate, but there was no plane and few seats. from the lounge, 8 people with bags waited in line for the single tiny elevator. After almost an hour of standing, we finally boarded. TAP, at least on this plane, doesn't offer a welcome drink to business class passengers. Having said that, the crew was very friendly and accomodating. We landed about an hour late and then were told we were going to be on the runway for at least a half hour because no gate was available. So, bottom line, D- for pre boarding, A for flight attendents, B + for business class food, and Incomplete for post landing.
Special meal AVML was terrible Move selections were mediocre No Wi-Fi offered
On time. Good meal. Overhead cabin lights inop in entire cabin. Seat recliner did not work.
TAP‘s flight attendants seem to be among the least ambitious of all the international flight crews we’ve flown with. . When we left US and went to Portugal, and when we returned from Portugal, flight attendants were not very visible. Then did not offer frequent water breaks and when we had to go back to request water, I was almost an imposition. Meal quality was just average. The dinners were fine. Breakfast wraps were presented soggy.
The toilets weren't kept clean -- bins not emptied, some kind of snag with one of them. I've never been able to get STAT's entertainment system to work. This time I couldn't even connect to their internal wifi. Overall, it's a decent airline: relatively roomy seats, good meals and drink service. They could distribute water on longer flights.
I like that Sata service a mean as part of the ticket price and includes wine too, wish other airlines did that as well. Thanks, tm
I had a nightmare with this booking. The airline had to change the flight and this messed everything else up. It was a huge pain because I called chatdeal, which is part of Kayak, and they kept asking me to give them more time to figure out my flights. I had to keep calling because I never got any of the callbacks that I was promised and I didn't have my flights figured out until the day before I was to fly out. Then!, I got to the airport to fly to NYC and found out that the flights were still not figured out and I was lucky enough to only get it figured out when someone from Jetblue figured it out for me. I'm happy that I was able to get it figured out, but I did have to pay for my own stay on the first night because my layover because 29 hours and was not offered a way to get a hotel voucher, which I should have since it was not my fault that the flight was changed.
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.
In a 6 hr flight after paying over $700 dllrs of ticket and we still needed to pay for our own food and given ONLY a small glass of water!!! Will not be flying internationally anytime soon with them They are good for very short flights
No food was served on the flight. Boarding desk open two hours before departure. But they recommande to be there three hours before departure !! So we where a group waiting 1 hour in Line for nothing …
They charged us 100 Euro per bag on the return leg with no explanation.
There is one flight a day and it was canceled with no explanation
Coming from USA it was nice to be treated nice for a change. Even though our flight was pretty short we were served breakfast. On time flight with very caring staff. Please teach American carriers how to treat people.
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.
