Hi travellers. In this week’s article from our series bringing you the luggage policy of both low-cost airlines and and traditional carriers, we look into the baggage allowance of TAP Portugal, member of Star Alliance and the flag carrier of Portugal.
Tap Portugal Baggage allowance depends on where you fly as well as where you depart.
Hi there, after a little break we come back with our weekly update on new routes and services. Today’s post features as usually some popular traditional carriers as well as low-cost airlines. Without further ado, we start off with Air France.
Air France launched its 13th US route, this time from Paris to Orlando. The new route connecting these Disneyland-cities is served three times a week.

This is the very last post in the year 2010. As you are making the last preparations before tonight’s madness, we thought you may want to sit down a relax. And we know no better way of relaxing than to have a laughter. Enjoy this last post in 2010!
Passengers on a Lufthansa flight heard the following announcement from the captain, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am sorry to inform you that we have lost power to all of our engines and will shortly crash into the ocean.” On noticing the growing nervousness among the passengers the captain added “Ladies and Gentlemen, we are prepared for such an emergency, and we would now like you to rearrange the way you are seating so that all the non-swimmers are on the right side of the plane, and all the swimmers are on the left side.”
Some time ago we touched upon the subject of the most extreme airports in the world and today we’d like to take a look at some of the worst ranked airlines as ranked by both travellers and independent surveys. We won’t embark on any fully-fledged comparison but rather take a few examples.
By the way, it’s by no means an easy task to compare airlines. Low-cost airlines are a whole different story and we expect something different when flying with classical airlines.
Besides, how to measure the quality of different carriers? British Airways and TAP Portugal may well have one of the worst records in terms of lost baggage and flight delays but they rank better in other areas. Let’s take a look at how how professional bodies approach this issue.

Continental Airlines and TAP Portugal announced that they would begin codeshare flights to a wide range of destinations in the United States, Central America, Europe and Africa. Continental will place its “CO” code on flights TAP operates between Newark Airport and Portugal, Spain, Germany, France, UK and on selected TAP-operated flights from Lisbon to Faro, Madeira and Oporto, and from Lisbon to Praia, Sal and Sao Tome.
At the same time, TAP will place its “TP” code on selected Continental-operated flights from New York to 20 destinations in the U.S.A. and Mexico and on trans-Atlantic flights from Lisbon to New York. Details and timetable can be found at tap.com.
Anyone who happens to follow the current supply of affordable flights from Lisbon knows that among other carriers it pays off to take a look at the website of TAP Portugal which launches once in while a promotion to one selected European destination, such as Toulouse or Moscow.
The latest offer is all the more interesting in that it includes return fares to as many as 47 destinations and 2 ports of departure (Lisbon and Porto). The prices range from €49 for the Lisbon – Barcelona route to €179 for the Lisbon – Moscow route.
As for the travel period, it begins October 10, 2010 and lasts with some black out dates throughout March 31, 201. Book here until October 17 2010.
Promotions, sales and discounted airfares are by and large associated with the standard repertoire of leisure destinations and top cities besieged by tourists. It is thus easy to forget that there is more to Europe than Paris and Barcelona. Fortunately TAP Portugal reminds travellers of there being other places for them to explore.
The latest promotion is Lisbon – Moscow from €170. The fare is all-inclusive and enables you to get to know one of the most expensive cities in the world.
If the sound of the name “Moscow” excites you, book your tickets at the official website of TAP Portugal.

And not slimming down one’s wallet, we hasten to add. Well, unless we consider an expense of €71 to be a particularly exorbitant one for a trip to such a spot. All this thanks to the latest offer from TAP Portugal. For this reasonable amount you can fly from Lisbon to Toulouse – a city where traditions in form of the oldest university and Gothic churches meets the future represented by the aerospace industry base to mention just a few interesting aspects of this 6. largest French city.
