Got any suggestions on where I should go next? Let me know!!!

Welcome to iTripReport's flight reviews, which I focus on reviewing both the soft product and hard product of airlines around the globe. I strive to give you guys a first person perspective of different aspects of the flight. Including the ground service, onboard service, and those views that come with the flight. As you can see, I record quite a lot of the experience to make sure I record what you want to watch. As always, thank you so much for watching.

Hey there! Glad that you enjoyed flying with TAP. I always fly TAP and I do fly an average of 3 two way flights a month. I flew in these new LR's twice, business class, from Milan Malpensa and from Paris Orly to Lisbon. I enjoy TAP onboard service, and for my experience, it is by far one of the cheapest 'flagship carriers' in Europe.

Nice video, the food looked great, and I loved watching those beautiful Portuguese hillside villages as the plane flew into Lisbon airport!

I'm going to guess you have dual US/Mexico citizenship--your choice of using a Mexican passport intrigues me--does Customs in other countries give you less hassle than if you presented a US passport? Knowing that Portuguese and Spanish are closely related, chances are the cabin crew could address you in Portuguese and you would have a reasonable chance of understanding them. So a last-minute decision to fly to LIsbon--upon arrival, did you simply overnight and fly back to the US or did you do some sightseeing? Was surprised the inflight announcements were easily understood, no overwhelming native accents that otherwise would ruin the listening

Great video. I flew business class in December from Lisbon to Washington DC IAD- due to weather they told us the flight would be 10.5 hours (1.5 hours longer than normal). Upgraded at gate for around 1k euro which was best decisio I made. Great experience loved the cold Sagres but was cut off after 4- turned to wine after that. 😅😂

I have flow on the A321LR before with Aer Lingus and that was on a rare equipment swap from LHR-DUB!

I've been to Portugal twice, and both times with United. I love that when you wake up on your inbound flight from the states it's always sunny and actually day time. You don't get that flying into London, or Paris. (It's always too early)

19:03 We could hear the Autopilot Disconnect from the cabin which is rare. Did they left the cockpit door open?

Loved the video, thinking about taking a trip with TAP now.

I haven't flown TAP, but now I'll at least consider them! I flew Jetblue on their narrow body Bos-London in Mint. A different configuration then TAP although I've flown on Jetblue's 'throne' seat cross country previously. My first flight to London when I was 16 was on a 707! So, no I wasn't concerned about being on a narrow body transatlantic, I wonder why some people are.

Do the business class seats on this aircraft lie flat? Looking into booking Barcelona to lisbon to Boston on A321 LR neo and TAP customer service said the business class seats do not lie flat.

Bello video y ls comida muy rica desde California USA 🇺🇸 soy de Costa Rica 🇨🇷 y espero un día ir a Portugal 🇵🇹 !! Amo viejas y acabo de ir s Guatemala 🇬🇹 vía COPA a panamá 🇵🇦 y buen servicio !

[BGuggz]

Thank you very much for the video. I was a little hesitant to book it as i was traveling from Accra to Newark via Lisbon, but for the price it truly made a lot of sense. Going to be boarding in about an hour so hopefully my experience will be as good as yours!

[dadcelo]

I really like TAP, especially long haul. Their domestic onboard service is lacking, but the staff is always great.

[LMays-cuhp]

Thank you for sharing you trip here. No, I have not taken this airline at all. But seeing how you enjoyed it is a good observation of this airline and the service. 😂 Hahaha, you made laugh when you placed your face mask to cover your eyes on!! And you gave a thumbs up! Priceless. Anyway, the dinner meal looked good with the salmon. That single seat is nice but I think for me to it would be tight with my long legs and big feet. 😂 Hahaha!

[jo.frmdmv]

Wow I’ve seen this flight before at IAD I saw my radar and I saw it infront if my face

[airliners]

Excellent review! Great shots and commentary about the flight. I think you'd do great with a voice-over. Subbed!

[julioc]

Great video,
Is the A321neo more quiet or the 737Max?

Cheers

[einsesteinpiorosado]

Muy buen video, como de costumbre, gracias por compartir tus experiencias. Tienes muy buen espíritu crítico a la hora de evaluar tus viajes con las distintas lineas aérea, lo haces con mesura. Muchos éxitos personales y laborales te deseo para que tus videos continúen fluyendo muchos años más . 👋 Chao.

TAP uses this same type of acft (plane) on their routes to some of their northern Brazilian destinations as NAT (Natal) and BEL (Belém), although they recently have switched the acft type on NAT routes to the Boeing 777. The flight between Lisbon and Belém takes around 8 hours.
The light gray-coloured blanket looked amazing.
I would never leave my passport on a storage bin like you showed in this video. Sometimes we go to the bathroom and the seat (including the side bin) remains unattended. Well, we never know. Passport is a very valuable item.
Your dessert was more of a "Pudim de Leite" (milk pudding) than a real "flan". The "Pudim de Leite" is a very traditional dessert both in Portugal and in Brasil.
It was a good review.
