Hi,

TAP leaves Miami from the very old and cramped looking pier F. Check In however was quick and I soon headed to clear security. Security was really atrocious here at pier F. The dark & dull area was very hot and just lane was available for all passengers inbound the whole pier. Consequently I needed ca. 25 minutes to laissez passer through.

I spent ca. 40 minutes in the 'Gild America Lounge' that TAP uses here. The lounge is very old fashioned and only offers some mediocre snacks & snacks. However at least information technology offers plenty of seating. The toilets even so are the worst part of the lounge: very old, worn & dirty.

So I soon passed over to the gate where boarding was about to start. Pier F is really a ho-hum and sad area with only very express shops & restaurants etc. Luckily boarding started before long with priority lane first. Yet then we were hold waiting on the extremely humid and hot airbridge for another ca. 10 minutes - a actually bad boarding routine for premium passengers.

I was greeted again by a rather cold crew and took my comfortable and very spay window seat in row 5.

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

The cabin concluded upwards completely full and I was soon offered a pre departure drinkable & some nuts from a tray. Like on my previous TAP flying teh sparkling wine glass came maximum half full - this seems to be standard here.

Side by side to us a chartered 777 was waiting performing a Norwegian flying over to Europe afterward in the evening.

Menu had already been pre placed on the seat every bit well.

We left the gate perfectly on fourth dimension and a flying time of short 7 hours 50 minutes was announced.

Nosotros queued upward next to some prissy looking different models of American Airlines.

Soon nosotros powered along the runway direction East and our A330 neo took off providing some great views of Miami Airdrome, Miami Downtown and South Beach heading out to the Atlantic Body of water.

Ca. 25 minutes later on take off the motel crew came around to take main dish orders where I selected the filet mignon. Unfortunately they did nt ask preferences regarding being woken upward for breakfast service. I ever think that is a nice and helpful feature on night flights.

Next hot towels were distributed.

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

Rubbish was cleared ca. xx minutes subsequently and the trolley appeared again to serve the starter tray including soup from a thermal can, warm staff of life and more than drinks.

Main dish too followed by trolley with more than bread & drinks offered.

Finally meal service ended with dessert where I decided for cheese & some Ice cream. I too had some tea & port wine with it. Chocolates from a overnice box finished the dinner. Once again like on my previous TAP longhaul flight the whole dinner tasted very nice - luckily on this flight the male motel crew fellow member on my side of the aisle warmed upwards at least a little bit providing some smiles at present and so.

Motel was darkened as sunset connected and I tried to get some sleep. The seat actually is quite comfortable for sleeping. I liked al lot that it offers plenty of ellbow space to plow around.

I managed to get some sleep for ca. 3 hours before cabin lights were turned on ca. 1 60 minutes 45 west of Lisbon. Hot towels marked the start of the breakfast service.

Soon a common cold breakfast was served from a trolley including warm bread & croissants from a handbasket. The brekafast tasted normal - zilch special only also great.

Nosotros approached Lisbon Airport while information technology was still night outside and touched down on time. Unfortunately again we parked on a remote position hither at Lisbon and had to disembark onto a bus. At least a dedicated bus brough all Business Class passengers to the terminal before all Economy Class guests.

Thanks for reading,
