Way to the Security priority access

Lisbon Airport Departures area is a renovated area, full with free-shops, also with very known international brands and a food-court.
Duty Free stores just after security

Food Court

Although Lisbon Airport is the main hub of TAP Portugal, the airline doesn’t have any own Lounge, so I went to ANA Airport Lounge, located above the Food Court.
The lounge have 2 seating/relaxation areas, a zone with 3 computers, smoking room, shower facilities (located in the bathroom). In terms of food and beverages its very limited. The dining area was also very dirty because anyone took away the dirty dishes during the time I stayed there (like 30min).
In my opinion TAP deserves better in their own hub

At boarding gate was announce that the flight going to be delayed for 20min because of the late arrival of the aircraft and so the boarding started 20min delayed.

For dinner in Business Class they had just one option: Starting with a Salt Cod Confit and Green Salada, the main course was Ricotta Bauletti Pasta with Béchamel Sauce and Pistachios and ended with Chestnut Pudding. They also have a good selection of Portuguese wines: Luís Pato Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2015, Quinta da Alorna White 2015, Esporão Verdelho White 2015, Dona Maria Red 2013 and Vale da Raposa Red 2014.

I arrived by the south in the most remote runway. Then the aircraft taxied to the Gate, in the opposite side of the airport. The disembarking was really fast and the baggage claiming was also very quick.
