Hi,
Fast Track security being a Star Alliance Gold member was very quick - nobody in queue at all.
I visited the TAP Premium Lounge for a small snack and a drink. The selection was nice and the lounge was well occupied but not crowded.
Boarding started on time via bus to a remote position. Some nice views of the waiting aircrafts on the apron.
I had selected a standard no surcharge seat in the rear section of the cabin.
Those seats are very basic with tough seat pitch, no recline, no power supply and no tablet holders etc. Those features are only offered in the front section with Economy Comfort seats which could be selected at Check In for a surcharge of 33 EUR for this flight - I declined.
Still the cabin feels bright and modern.
Some views outside.
We climbed out of Lisbon with some nice sunset views.
I had a look at the Buy on board menu which offers some nice choices.
About 45 minutes into the flight the BOB trolley reached my row and I ordered a sandwich deal with a tasty ham & cheese toast that was warmed in the galley before being served to me. My deal of coke zero, warm toast sandwich and Kit Kat sweet costed 11,50 EUR in total.
The rest of the flight was uneventful and we landed in dark and quiet Munich late in the evening.
Thanks for reading,
FlyAlex
The seats look good,the cabin overall does. While it is the same miserable approach as iB, at least it does not feel as pauper as IB.
It's a shame airlines have move to this approach info hybrid LCC/legacy airlines.
