Hi,

TAP leaves Miami from the very erstwhile and cramped looking pier F. Cheque In however was quick and I soon headed to clear security. Security was actually atrocious here at pier F. The nighttime & boring area was very hot and only lane was available for all passengers inbound the whole pier. Consequently I needed ca. 25 minutes to pass through.

I spent ca. xl minutes in the 'Club America Lounge' that TAP uses here. The lounge is very old fashioned and only offers some mediocre snacks & snacks. Even so at to the lowest degree it offers plenty of seating. The toilets however are the worst part of the lounge: very erstwhile, worn & dirty.

Then I before long passed over to the gate where boarding was well-nigh to beginning. Pier F is actually a wearisome and distressing area with only very limited shops & restaurants etc. Luckily boarding started soon with priority lane offset. However and then we were hold waiting on the extremely boiling and hot airbridge for another ca. ten minutes - a really bad boarding routine for premium passengers.

I was greeted again by a rather cold coiffure and took my comfy and very spay window seat in row five.

Pillow, blanket, noice cancelling headsets and a dainty Portuguese blueprint amenity kit were already waiting at the seat (in a different design compared to my inbound flying into Miami).

The cabin ended upwards completely total and I was presently offered a pre departure drink & some nuts from a tray. Like on my previous TAP flying teh sparkling vino glass came maximum half full - this seems to exist standard here.

Adjacent to us a chartered 777 was waiting performing a Norwegian flight over to Europe later in the evening.

Menu had already been pre placed on the seat too.

We left the gate perfectly on time and a flight fourth dimension of short seven hours fifty minutes was announced.

We queued upwardly next to some nice looking different models of American Airlines.

Soon we powered along the runway management Due east and our A330 neo took off providing some corking views of Miami Airport, Miami Downtown and S Beach heading out to the Atlantic Ocean.

Ca. 25 minutes after take off the cabin coiffure came around to take main dish orders where I selected the filet mignon. Unfortunately they did nt enquire preferences regarding being woken up for breakfast service. I always think that is a nice and helpful feature on night flights.

Next hot towels were distributed.

Soon the aperitif & canapé trolley made its appearance and the rather cold male crew member laid out white line and served me my requested Gin & Tonic.

Rubbish was cleared ca. 20 minutes later and the trolley appeared again to serve the starter tray including soup from a thermal tin, warm bread and more than drinks.

Finally repast service ended with dessert where I decided for cheese & some Ice cream. I also had some tea & port wine with information technology. Chocolates from a dainty box finished the dinner. Once more like on my previous TAP longhaul flight the whole dinner tasted very nice - luckily on this flight the male cabin crew member on my side of the alley warmed up at least a little flake providing some smiles now and and then.

Cabin was darkened every bit sunset continued and I tried to get some sleep. The seat actually is quite comfortable for sleeping. I liked al lot that it offers enough of ellbow space to turn around.

I managed to go some sleep for ca. 3 hours before cabin lights were turned on ca. 1 hr 45 w of Lisbon. Hot towels marked the beginning of the breakfast service.

Soon a cold breakfast was served from a trolley including warm bread & croissants from a handbasket. The brekafast tasted normal - null special just likewise not bad.

Nosotros approached Lisbon Airport while it was withal dark outside and touched down on fourth dimension. Unfortunately over again nosotros parked on a remote position here at Lisbon and had to disembark onto a autobus. At least a defended coach brough all Concern Form passengers to the terminal before all Economy Class guests.

Decision

Over again information technology was a mixed feeling with TAP Business Class: the seat & the brand new A330 neo ae great. Besides the food tastes very good and includes squeamish addons like canapés and soup. But the common cold cabin crew once again downgraded the product feel significantly.
