Conclusion

It was another very good trip with TAP:

GVA Airport: A big airport with many stores. The terminal is not very good for spotting.

TAP Portugal: A very good airline in Europe sector, with the best staff and food! The cabin is a bit old but comfortable.

LIS Airport: From gate 22 have a good access to the exit. My bag take many time to arrive

  • Hi FConceicao,

    Thanks for this very nice report.

    I never flown TAP, but it's seems to be quite acceptable.

    What about the catering ?

    See you,

  • Hi Mathieu

    Thank you very much for you comment.

    I think TAP Portugal meals are one of the best! Not only the presentation but also the taste of the food. You could check there:
