This is my flight report from Barcelona to Lisbon with TAP Portugal in Business Class The flight duration was 1h30 and arrived at 14h45, with a delay of 1h15, due to the bad weather conditioning in Lisbon on the outbound flight. Check also my Barcelona trip reports here
Getting to the Airport
I went to El Prat – Barcelona International Airport by metro, the best way to get there. I cought the L9 line in Collblanc to the Airport Terminal 1, where TAP and most of airlines operate. The journey took 30 min.
Check-in
After leaving metro, I went to Arrivals area and then to Departures. My check-in was the 564.
Airport
After check-in with no queues I proceeded to the security screening. Then is the main departure hall with lots of stores and also a food court. In that day, the wi-fi didn’t work.
Spotting
There were also time for Spotting some of the Barcelona traffic: Air China A330, Air Berlin mixed with the OLT Express livery A319, TAROM (SkyTeam Livery) and El Al B737, Emirates A380, Qatar A330 and Air Canada Rouge B767.
Boarding
The flight was delayed because of fog in Lisbon but there wasn’t any information by the service provider (Swissport). The boarding gate only was announced 1h before the scheduled time of departure because the airport had some gates closed due to improvement works.
Flight
After boarding I seat in 3A and prepared for take-off

Catering
In this flight I started with a green salada with Escabeche fish, then a Panciotti and ended with a nice Mocha Mousse and a coffee. The lunch was very good and with a great quality.
Arrival
The flight was very smooth, with no turbulence. I read the UP magazine and also relaxed a bit. Check my arrival video:

5 LIKESLIKE TO THANK THE AUTHORTHANKS ! FLIGHT-REPORT LIKED
Thanks for this detailed report with nice pics! Great spotting--it's always nice to see some good spotting :-) I am impressed with the catering on such a short flight and the seats look comfortable (soft) for Euro-Business. Great shots of Lisbon on arrival! Looks like it was a beautiful day once the fog lifted. As you may have noticed, sometimes vertical pics (usually taken on smart phones) show up sideways. Usually, rotating and saving a new copy of the pic on a computer and then uploading it to the site can help with this.
