I was absolutely dumbstruck by the incredible rudeness and lack of concern expressed by the TAP employees, especially at the "customer service" desk. Thanks for spreading the word about them. They don't even deserve to call themselves an airline. After already stranding us in Seville for 3 days, we were stuck an extra day in Portugal because of sheer incompetence.Jennifer Blackledgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-35089165138663194832008-05-17T08:23:00.000+01:002008-05-17T08:23:00.000+01:00TAP stands out for its poor service.

Good airlines usually make sure that after a long-haul flight people are able to make their connecting flights by calling the transfer desks and making sure that the gates wait for the people to arrive, especially when it only involves a 5-10 minute wait. <BR/><BR/>But TAP? Of course not, they do nothing. They say nothing and just let travelers run to their gates, which then just close without waiting for the passengers. No apology, no assistance at all. <BR/><BR/>DO NOT FLY TAP!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-84970838437939877552007-09-20T19:59:00.000+01:002007-09-20T19:59:00.000+01:00I missed the connecting flight in Lisbon,after th...I missed the connecting flight in Lisbon,after the flight from Ponte Dalgada was 1 hour late.I was given free hotel and meals in Lisbon.But I also missed my connecting flight in Rome .I complained to company rep in Lisbon,and she said that there should be at least 2 hours delay between flights...<BR/>I responded that it was Tap airline that makes the schedules and if 2 hours are required between flights ,it is Tap that must schedule its flights accordigly.<BR/>NEVER AGAIN TAP.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802699146319181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-5509493734549179732007-01-01T02:58:00.000+00:002007-01-01T02:58:00.000+00:00If possible, never fly with TAP.

Last year, I was left three times at the hotel, and I know another fes travelers with the same problem.<br /><br />If you are a frequent flyer registered at the Victoria program, when you want to get a ticket with your milles, TAP keeps telling you that of the flights you want are already booked during weeks and weeks, even if you are flexible with destinations, even you are prepared to choose Sao Paulo instead of Rio de Janeio,or Salvador or Fortaleza. No way to get a ticket to Brazil from Europe using your Victoria milles.<br /><br />I felt really cheate and now I am thinking about to sue that trickey airline called TAP or AIR PORTUGAL or AIR TAP (I have heard they have bouught recently AIR PORTUGALIA).<br /><br />I am looking forward another suropean air lines start to fly more often to norther Brazil: I just want to get rid of TAP and their lies and their way to behaeve with their clientes, even with the 'frequent flyiers' who are suposed to be their best clientes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-1162069904085839762006-10-28T22:11:00.000+01:002006-10-28T22:11:00.000+01:00After many travels on TAP usually to USA I am very...After many travels on TAP usually to USA I am very satisfied by their service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17500930.post-1160464055681054512006-10-10T08:07:00.000+01:002006-10-10T08:07:00.000+01:00I love TAP because they give me a seat on the plan...I love TAP because they give me a seat on the plane, even when I turn up at the airport without a booking!

I once reversed this same situation by finding an airPORT (not airLINE) security guy (look for the walkie-talkies). I told him that I had un-accompanied luggage on flight XXX (oh my!) and I was promptly given a seat. However this WAS before deregulation.<BR/>These days you probably just need to have a declared starter pistol in your hold baggage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
