The seats did not recline. It was impossible to get comfortable enough to sleep any at all, even though it was an overnight flight. It was also the first intercontinental flight I have ever taken which offered no entertainment whatsoever. I really don't understand why TAP used a plane with non-reclining seats for a five-hour overnight flight.
Your lack of verification of someone at your gate compelling my wife to pay in cash instead of accepting the reservation. Uouj could snd should. Have call security And your gate and investigated my claim. You had 3 hours to do so.
The flight crew runs an extremely tight ship. Polished and attentive.
We arrived to the check in queue 90 min before our flight and it took almost two hours to get through the line. Our seats got swapped and it was a cluster to make it to the gate where we then waited another 45 min for a later departure.
Nice crew, food was good. 2.5 hour flight, so entertainment is not valid for this review.
However, the boarding was absolutely atrocious. They had two Dutch attendants dealing with a fully booked Airbus flight. I arrived at 11 AM and did not get to the front of the line until 1 PM. They actually had to take off later, as in, push the flight later, because of their inability to bring someone else to the check-in counter to help with boarding. For the Dutch and their famous understanding of efficiency and staying ahead of the curve, this was both frustrating and not understandable. Not really TAP's fault...
The airline staff struggled to get the check-in line going. The agent checking us in had no clue about our itinerary, for example, to tell us that we were changing planes in the Azores, AND - really important - making sure we had the boarding passes to do so. Food was really lame (I know, we're lucky they gave us any, right) and there was no in-flight wifi or entertainment.
Old plane. Floor lighting was duct tapped down... Very surprised to see.
Nice that food was provided on a short flight but bread was ice cold and hard.
