TAP needs to allocate gates at airport. Boarding and disembarking using buses is tortures in hot weather.

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

In Business Class, it would have been nice to be offered a beverage upon boarding. Food was very mediocre. Staff was friendly and courteous, but never seemed to go above and beyond.

Packing people into a bus like sardines and then making them wait for at least 10-15 minutes before driving them to a location a mile away is not the way a national airline should represent itself. And it seems like everyone chosen for additional screening was a woman. What is up with that?

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.

Pros: Food service was very good - and the crew kept going even after we hit turbulence. I'd already been served, but I know from past experience with other airlines that there's nothing worse than smelling the hot food and being told that service is being discontinued,,,,while you're now hungry
Cons: Lisbon airport was stressful, perhaps more guidance before releasing us into the melee. I found an Air Portugal email about Lisbon Airport just nowReviewed Dec 2021review from

Overview of TAP AIR PORTUGAL
The primary hub for TAP Air Portugal is Lisbon, while their secondary hub is Portugal’s second biggest city, Porto. Recognized as the national airline of Portugal, the carrier helps service the picturesque Azores islands, which are halfway across the Atlantic Ocean. Flights are available to 34 countries across the world and reach Asia, South America, North America and Africa.
Considered to be the premier European airline for flights to Brazil, TAP Air Portugal reaches more destinations in the country than any other carrier. The World Travel Awards recognized it as the Best Airline to South America on a number of occasions, with the variety of choice and comfort a hit with passengers.
The airline’s fleet is made up exclusively of Airbus aircraft, having transitioned away from Boeing during the 1990s. In 2018 the airline was the first to fly the A330-900, a fuel-efficient jet that is capable of carrying up to 298 passengers. It was also the first airline to introduce Airspace by Airbus, a cabin layout overhaul that improves overhead storage, lighting and system connectivity.
You can choose between either Economy or Executive Class, with complimentary meals included on all services. The Executive category is equivalent to Business Class on other carriers, with gourmet traditional Portuguese cuisine available and recliner lie-flat seats. Other upgraded amenities include noise-cancelling headphones, softer lighting and 115V electricity sockets.
TAP Air Portugal has a low-cost subsidiary named TAP Express, which only operates short to medium distance flights. They are both part of the Star Alliance, which operates services to roughly 193 countries.
