TRIP REPORT I TAP Business Class I Airbus A320 I 🇳🇴 Oslo OSL to Lisbon LIS 🇵🇹

[@miguelsequeira9240]

TAP has one of the youngest fleets in the world!!! It is perhaps in the top three of the newest aircraft in Europe!

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Thank you for the interesting fact, did not know that. Definetely want to try then long haul too!

[@viniciushakme363]

It's worth so much a delay like you had already inside the airplane! 😆📸✈️ Great video!! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Yes, especially when you can sit and watch planes land! ✈️ Love Brazil and specially a good feijoada! 🇧🇷😍

For me it look like the airfield you filmed was Ota air base, in Alenquer aboute 40Km North of Lisbon. It belongs to the Portuguese Air Force, today is almost inoperable. Used only for the recruitment of new Air Force cadets. Very good spoting! Just after the Airbase you filmed Convento de Mafra, one of the biggest and one of the most beautiful cultural inheritances still fully conserved in Portugal, it's patrimony, military importance, and overall history is impressive. Definitely worths a visit.

Oh I did not know that, it was an amazing approach with a lot of things to spot. Will definetely visit that place next time in Lisboa, such a beautiful city!

Très bonne compagnie aérienne je ne peux que confirmer ce qui est indiqué dans cette vidéo. Les avions sont ultra propre et moderne, les équipages sont extrêmement attentionné. C’est une compagnie aérienne, qui fait partie des plus sûr au monde avec un haut niveau de fiabilité.

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Oui, je suis d’accord. Pour nous c’etait une experience tres bonne! En fait on a envie de aller avec eux «long haul» un jour aussi! ✈️

Awesome 👌 Greetings from Helsinki

Thank you! Would love to try Finnair one day!

Tks for your very positive and merited review. TP is a very safe airline, one of the safest in the world. In the last years it has been plagued by economic issues, however, it is now stable and hoping to be sold to private ownership. I never had a problem with TP. There hv been some days here and there but nothing major. Service on board is fantastic. I have flown them to the USA and Brazil, and they have always been great! It's worth flying TP for they have outstanding pilots so its a very safe airline, they have a very new NEO fleet, and very good service. Negative point is their customer service, which sucks but one shud never expect perfection in an imperfect world

[@welcomeaboardHD]

We always give honest review, and our experience with TAP was really good. I have read that both Air France KLM and Lufthansa Group are interested in aquiring ownership in TAP, so we will see :)

ATR and Embraer alongside its Airbus Fleet

[@welcomeaboardHD]

You are correct, thank you for the info!

Sometimes it happens, I think it’s a bug it appens sometimes 🎉.

[@Sierr10sierp70]

I'm from Portugal, and that's not the only reason I think it's a good airline, I've only flown on Tap and Ryanair and I think Tap, at least on short flights, is very good, I've also never been able to try long flights and with meals, only short flights and in economy class, and I think it's amazing, because the flight attendants are always in the mood, and the seats are comfortable and clean.

[@welcomeaboardHD]

I agree with you. The crew seem to love their job, service was amazing. On this flight business was actually cheaper than economy, so could not say no to that 😁

Why TAP still can use SAS lounge since SAS is not star alliance anymore

[@welcomeaboardHD]

I mention this in the trip report, that from 1 of september this year, TAP will offer the OSL lounge, and not the SAS lounge. This flight was in august. I show the OSL lounge in some of my other trip reports.

[@Samwong67895]

@ Thank you for your information! Can I ask does OSL lounge have shower facilities?

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Unfortunately I do not think there are showers there, only in some of the SAS lounges.

[@vanjos]

It is Portuguese Air Military base OTA! I have served there as an Air traffic controller.

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Muito obrigado, did not know that! ✈️

[@vanjos]

LPOT / OTA

TAP is awful uncountable delays and Lisbon airport is a complete MESS. VIP lounge is Lisbon is so disappointing. Myself I use and recommend Iberia and Barajas airport is much better

[@welcomeaboardHD]

Have flown TAP some times and not had a bad experience. But LIS is very chaotic yes, and the Iberia lounge is much better. Normally I fly from Madrid, often with Iberia which I love!

[@JB-sg7rb]

Iberia? Get lost! Terrible service onbord and at Barajas.

[@carlosrosas7249]

Lisboa airport is at its limits , that's why they are going to build a new airport . TAP has the best reviews , on short and long flights . Cheers !

[@Madrid10000]

@ Lisbon’s next airport will be in Spain! LOL TAP’s lounge is crowded and awful. They have no awards and onboard service is poor in case you have a connecting flight you’d better pray hahah
