I received great information 2 weeks ago on my general post. Does anyone have any favorite airline from the USA to Lisbon? Has anyone flown Tap Air Portugal. A year ago on a trip to Athens I booked with 2 layovers and my bag was lost and a flight delayed so we missed another flight- Any advice on air travel is highly appreciated.

I fly TAP both between the U.S. and Lisbon and within Europe. It has become my preferred airline as the transatlantic flights tend to be a bit cheaper. The planes appear newish and the staff is good. The only time there might be a problem with TAP is if you have a problem and need to cancel or change your flight. So, make sure you book the flights you need the first time..

I've flown TAP several times and they have been fine. I've seen them weigh and measure carry on and personal items in Lisbon though, so make sure you're within the limits.
