Great airline, new, comfortable and quiet planes. Plenty of leg room and state of the art entertainment system. The big downside is the connection in Lisbon. The airport is small and a bus is needed from the plane to the terminal. Is a mess, takes a lot of time, nobody gives an explanation, boarding zones are not honored, etc.

I thought Miami's airport was very disorganized during the Boarding.
Larger seats on this plane made the ride reasonably comfortable. Our next flight, from Lisbon to Copenhagen, was inconsiderately tight and stressful. The seats were smaller, space between rows was very limited (no button or mechanism to even slightly incline anyone’s seat), and leg-cramping under the seat in front. Just like sardines in a can. Really felt for all the tall Danes on the flight. Their knees were pressed against the seat in front throughout the flight.
The plane was modern and clean. TAP staff at the airport as well as the flight crew were professional, friendly, and helpful. Overall, a great experience.
The airline made last minute changes to our business class seats splitting our family of 4 with young children who had pre-booked a row of 4 seats. The seat was also dirty and sticky. Our pre-ordered child meals were also not available. :(
Great staff who were ready working with smile 6 in the morning on New Year’s Day. Although security checkpoint was way too busy, the airline staff were understanding and waited few minutes after boarding. We took off not only exactly on time, but arrived 20 minutes early. Two thumbs up!!!
The flight was good, but not entertainment or free food or drinks were offered.
Crew and flight were excellent! THIS is how a crew and a pilot should act! They were nothing like our Rome to Lisbon flight! The few things that could be better? Organize the buses better and have better food choices. Also get bigger glasses for soda, water and juices. Other than that, this flight was excellent! John and Barb Sanford Plainville, CT USA
I like: The food provided was really good. I really enjoyed it Dislike: I couldn't open my window during the whole trip. Every time I wanted to do it, one of the crew came to me saying "please close it" It was a day flight. I wanted to have my window open and they didn't let me.
This would have been an okay flight, had it not been for the following. At the boarding line they had another line for luggage control of some kind, basically they weighed your carry on luggage together with your personal item together (in my case my backpack), and if it was overweight they asked for 125 euros right then and there. We basically couldn’t board without forking over the 125 euros. It was insane the price. I’ve paid maybe 50 euros in the past for overweight carry ons but 125, more than double is unjust. I flew TAP from Florence to Lisbon and we had no such treatment nor weighing of our carry ons. And then when we flew from Lisbon to JFK, they had a whole line of individuals asking them to fork over the 125 euros. Their weight limitations is considerably low compared to other airlines. Very upset. In addition the bathroom on board had a good amount of water (or maybe even pee) in the bathroom floor. In addition the the garbage slot in the bathroom was over flowing. This was at the start of the flight so it was clear that no one had cleaned the bathroom. In addition they tray tables were also not clean. Mine was covered in a sticky substance and I ended up having to wipe it down myself. I did my best to avoid using the bathroom again during this 7 hour flight. And when I told the stewardess of the bathroom, she said it wasn’t their job to clean the bathroom, which could be true I guess. You would think an airline was more sanitary especially after COVID. Would Not fly TAP again and do not recommend. Spend your money elsewhere.
