TAP is our favorite airline to Europe by far as the fares are quite economical, they fly nonstop from SFO to LIS, and the inflight service & crews are always the best: Friendly, helpful, professional. As for the meals, if you try other European airlines (e.g. Air France) the food can be inedible for many. If you thought TAP's breakfast offerings were bad try Air France & British Airways! And, of course, the A330-900Neo is one of the best aircraft ever (appreciate the 2-4-2 configuration a lot), it's new, clean, and comfortable.

It's always nice to have nobody in the next seat on a long flight like this. Looks like TAP will be worth taking the next time I fly to Europe from SFO.

Great video, so much information, really well done! We'll be on that same flight in April 2023, really looking forward to it. Again, super high quality video and production, great work, thank you!!!

[@ShaneHastings]

Great video! Love the boarding pass intro :)

[@romansl11]

[@bauman7962]

Wow! This is THE BEST review I’ve ever seen. Thank you

[@markgonzalez3474]

Great video,ive flown with TAP on our last 2 trips to Madrid, same route and i can confirm TAP is the best economy airline,especially for families

[@westregent66]

Thank you so much for the review! I have a flight on TAP from Chicago to Dublin later this spring and was wondering what it's like

[@ruthleabellflower7760]

Thank You for all the information. I am going on my first trip to Europe in June. TAP looks like a great option for more than Portugal too.

[@SugaSugaBoobooz]

Beautiful video!

[@ilianalezcano9738]

Nice video. Smooth landing.

[@photography2943]

Such a good camera, which recorded very good and detailed all colours in the sky and on ground! Perfect atmosphere and documentation

[@konrad57466]

[@AviationFin]

Nicely done 👍 Thanks for sharing Greetings from Helsinki ❄️ Finland

[@henrysteppel2031]

I find TAP good,the realtion between price and service is good!

[@planetravel59]

Good job 👍

[@danielv.s.3753]

Kudos for such a thorough video! Just as a side note, the runway of LIS was renumbered 02/20 on May 2022, so you landed on runway 02. 😉

[@anaisabelpereira2329]

D. Afonso Henriques! Not Alfonso...

[@mcampove]

Thanks for the video a have a flight coming form SFO to Barcelona by TAP . It gives me an idea how it will be

[@colinrenfrew48]

Very well made this video a lot of interesting informations.Could you please try condor a330 Neo in economy class next❤❤😊

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Condor is an airline I really want to try so hopefully soon!

[@user-vr5jr4ib1q]

I have flown on this A330-900neo with TAP and Hawaiian and I agree it is a top notch machine. However on my last trip SFO-LIS round trip I noticed the reclining seats I used do not retract when needed. When I called the cabin attendant asking for assistance, she simply forced the seat to retract with no comments. I have tried a few empty seats too and only one retracted. This absolutely unacceptable and we paid for premium seats. This plane was named D.Joao II, The Principe Perfeito on both trips. I have used a lot of airplanes since 1961 and this is is the first time this occurred. Shame on TAP for poor its defective maintenance.

[@oMoM-dj2cg]

With a non-reclining seat were you able to sleep ok? Do the armrests move up or down

[@hcar06]

Great picture quality. What kind of camera do you use? Great Tap info video!

[@GlobalAviationTravel]

Just an iPhone

[@jackglicktheinternationalvlogg]

El al Israel Airlines as well

[@noraluu2239]

Hi! When did you book to get such low pricing? I also want to book but right now the pricing is $480

[@peko7446]

Do they keep the cabin warm?

[@cuddlescho]

Great video! Thanks for thoughtful content. However, taking stairs while deplaning and taking the shuttle may delay my connecting flight. Do I need to clear immigration before connecting with another flight to EU countries? How long does it usually take?

[@safesparklingandshiningski3592]

You could have flown directly to Madrid from San Francisco on Iberia

[@miguelvaledealmeida175]

It’s Afonso, not Alfonso (that would be in Spanish) :-)

[@pedrocavaco3376]

TAP is badly viewed among the portuguese public because it has needed lots of taxpayers' money so it doesnt go bankrupt at least it's nice to see it has a good service in these long haul flights and also the a330neo looks great to fly in only flew tap in europe

[@TheSherrykelly]

TAP SUCKS

[@miguelsantos8073]

It's green beans not asparagus

[@RobertCHood]

The problem is at the other end in Lisbon where the customs controls are so inadequate that one spends 1 to 2 hours just in line to get once passport cleared. Clearly, this is unacceptable but there seems to be a little on the Portuguese size to remedy the situation.

[@arturjcrebelo3275]

They are on strike. The SEF (boarder police) want more money. This going on for months now.
