TAP Portugal

[Smithrr]

Hello
Has anyone got and views/reviews on flying with them?
See they do a route Miami to London via Lisbon.

If you like massively disinterested cabin crew you'll be fine. Their planes are also donkeys years old.

Also Lisbon is 3 hours away from the UK so you've added 6 hours to your journey (plus however long you need to spend in Lisbon airport which is the dictionary definition of a Shi t hole)

Oh that good! Maybe I’ll leave it, price is tempting!

Depends on the price. I fly direct to MCO every year either in the XMAS holidays or summer holidays. Never pay more than 650 a person (and usually less).

If you could get 300 indirect I might be tempted but anything over 400 and I'd rather omit the pain from the process and just go direct

Actually that's not true - all the US TAP planes are new now as they have heavily invested in US routes (will be starting San Francisco and Washington DC this year, along with the existing Miami & New York routes).
I've traveled this route twice before and never had an issue with disinterested cabin crew and found the planes much better than the BA ones from Gatwick for example (probably on par with VA planes) - food was good and so was IFE.
Lisbon Airport is super easy to navigate as everything both flights come/go from the same terminal.
If the price was right I'd have no hesitation in doing this route again.

I agree with the above and have flown this route several times. The only problem we had was the long layover on the Man -Lis-Mia route. It involves an overnight stay in Lisbon but you do arrive in Mia at 3pm ish. Lisbon Airport hotels ( 3 mins transfer to Raddison Blu) are about £70 and include a lovely breakfast? The flights are showing at under £400 for our dates which is quite tempting 😋

So if you want brand new donkeys years old planes, via a super easy to navigate s-hole airport, with great food, served by massively disinterested crew, you're quids in!
