Markanddonna Posted May 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I just wanted to let you know abour our very good experience on TAP. We booked a one way fare two week prior to departure, London to EWR with a connection in Lisbon. Everything went like clockwork and the flight was similar to other better known airlines. The app worked great and the process for check-in was flawless. I would definitely bok a flight on TAP again. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One way fare. Flight home from Faro on Transat. Concerned about the two hour TAP connection in Lisbon. Reports say customs line ups currently can be as much as 2-3 hours!

And TAP has seven non-stops per day from LIS to FNC, so you should be fine if you miss your connect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted May 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Here's a view of how they extended the runway at Funchal - using 180 pillars to hold up the 1000 meter extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If immigration is the bottleneck, connecting baggage won't be an issue. The bags will transfer without your involvement. Standard Euro customs in Funchal.

iancal Posted May 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Our TAP flight to Lisbon was very good. Lisbon immigration was a zoo. Huge lineup. We were fortunate..we had tight connections and were whisked through in about an hour. Avoid Lisbon flights with 11 AM arrivals or be prepared to wait for hours to get through.

MSUjohn Posted July 8, 2022 #9 Share Posted July 8, 2022 in September of 2021i flew on TAP from Lisbon to Barcelona (oddly enough on an a320/321 NEO seat up for "long flights" but this was high covid era). i have heard negative things about TAP and i found the flight much much better than british airways euro-traveler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
