LEAVING AFRICA ON TAP PORTUGAL A330neo to MUNICH! 

Thanks for following my Africa Adventure and I'll be back for more soon - tomorrow I'm off to Greenland so follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates - Thanks☺

Having flown TAP on a few occasions, I really enjoyed TAP. Got upgraded a couple of times as well and thoroughly enjoyed it!

Fantastic African series Josh! Really enjoyed. I’m half Mozambican, born and raised there. Flew on TAP many times on this route on the A340-300, very fond memories. There was a special feeling like if you’ve already arrived in Europe when boarding the plane in Maputo for my summer holidays in Spain. Back then like most airlines, the second meal service was a full hot meal. The flight was mainly a nighttime flight, departing Maputo around 8pm and landing in Lisbon at 5am. Dinner + breakfast with an omelette was a standard. I believe the shutting the window blinds is to allow everyone to sleep and easier to watch a movie, I’ve seen it on Westbound transatlantic flights as well. It’s a pity Mozambique has become so corrupt, I understand that many salaries are extremely low and this is a chance to make a bit more but it has become so engraved in the dna of the country that sometimes you completely dismiss it, and just pay to get things done. I hope it won’t discourage people from visiting, Mozambique needs the tourism, and the people are warm and welcoming despite some of our shortcomings.

Lisbon is fantastic. I used to work for a cruise line and we docked in Lisbon quite a bit. Would love to go back one day.

GO TAP 💚💛❤

I flight TAP 1977 from Cabo Verde to Portugal 🇵🇹. Portugal to Azores to Boston. Very good flight no complaints.

Working in the customer service industry myself I know the biggest mistake a company or business can make is to ignore the feedback of even one person. That person has friends and family that they are sharing their experience with which means your not just losing the business of one customer (that you don’t care about) your losing the business of potentially hundreds of people. I wish more companies and businesses would remember that.

I think TAP is a great carrier. Being in the Star Alliance and being a full service airline with cheap prices really reels me in. I’m flying round trip to Faro from JFK with a stopover in Lisbon. It’s only about $80 extra for business on both flights with one reservation, which is great because even though it’s European Business, it’s still nice to get an actual breakfast on the short 45 minute flight to the Algarve after the continental breakfast served on the flight from New York.

I enjoyed the Africa series so thanks for that! Cant wait for more, i am guessing with Noel Philips next:) It looked draining too.

I LOVE loooong daylight flights, gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy the aircraft and service.

I took TAP Air Portugal on 2 occasions. The first time from YUL to BER via LIS and the second time from YUL to ARN via LIS. The YUL to LIS segment is done with a A321 Neo LR, a small airliner for a transatlantic, but the produce is better than Air Transat similar Aircraft on the same route. The big problem for TAP is Lisbon Airport. It is old, overcrowded and that meens frequent delays. And a lot of stress. On the return of my trip to Berlin, the incoming flight from LIS was 30 minutes late for trafic in LIS... and departed one hour late. So I miss my flight to Montréal. TAP crew at LIS were fantastic. They were waiting for passengers and I was put on a flight to Toronto then Montréal. I arrived 5 hours late... I asked for the 600 Euros for late flights and I got it with no problems. Second flght, on time... but... there were so much people on passport control and security that the 1h45 that I had between the 2 flights was not enough. I was the late in the plane as they were closing the doors... only because I took a shortcut in the line at security. So be sure to have plenty of time if you have a transfer at Lisbon. That's sad because TAP offers a great product at a very small price.

Prefer to arrive late afternoon or evening, and skip jetlag. Arriving early morning after a red eye usually triggers my jetlag. Looks like a decent flight in the back ! Business Class meal looked good! Safe travels onwards!

In my days it was the Lourenço-Marques / Salisbury / Luanda / Lisbon flight on Boeing 707, and every flight was an adventure. But never ever arrived on schedule in Lisbon, most often getting stuck in Luanda to sort out "technical" problem(s), having to wait patiently on the first floor of the airport where we were given luke warm "cold drinks" of every colours.... It's also on one of those days that we had to wait for a spare engine from Lisbon, and it is the only time I saw in reality a 5 engine B707 as the incoming flight had the spare engine attached under its wing.

Thank you as a senior A330/340 TAP CAPTAIN

The thing with the closed window shades was on my tap flight to Miami too, I thought it was to prevent jet lag as you are supposed to sleep during the closed window time because it worked, but after your flight I actually would like to know the reason

Describing a flight as boring is actually a compliment. I’d imagine you prefer a trip where your heart is in your mouth all the way.

Love TAP! Can't wait to fly it again and do a trip report! - Red

I love both night and day flights. Both have their perks. In the day, you get to see the city properly and at night, it looks beautiful with the lights and all

Flew TAP in 2018 Milan- Lisbon on the original A319, TTA. Enjoyed the crew who, along with pilots, wished us farewell on disembarking- a nice touch! I'll certainly fly TAP again.

I really enjoyed this African series! I especially loved it as I was born in South Africa. I would love to see an Australian series as that’s where I live now and there are lots of smaller companies to fly here and it is really fun!

Yes, everyone should put our beautiful city of Lisbon and Portugal on their bucket lists 😁.

I flew Tap from LHR to Lisbon and I agree Lisbon is beautiful specially at night from above , the business class within Europe is horrible and I would never upgrade few passengers complained and said it wasn’t worth the 500£ the had paid .

Great Africa series Josh. Maybe one day you can come to the US and do a thorough review of all the US airlines. Will be curious to see your reviews particularly with Southwest and Alaska Airlines.

Awesome video! I've really enjoyed the Africa Adventure videos, well done!

I thoroughly enjoyed your African adventures. They were insightful aswell as shocking!! Your content is always high class and enjoyable.

I’ve done a lot of travelling by air since the 60s and seen many many changes including 27 years in the industry. I was thinking of using TAP as I have a friend whose gone back from here in Australia due to Covid and wants me to come. So thanks so much! Their business class is a good price as I’ve researched it as well. Thanks!!

That's what I enjoy about Yr vlogs josh alot of youtubers do business class u sit in the back row keeping it real

Flew TAP from SFO to LIS and it was great. No complaints and affordable. Lisbon is magical.

I am really proud of TAP! Thank you Josh for your wonderful review.

Probably you knew it already, but in case you didn't, tap catering is one of the best in the world because back in 2017 all the catering was redesigned by 6 portuguese Michelin star chefs, not only the meals itself but the heating process, the packaging, the storage, etc

Whoever it is that you partnering with for the next Africa aviation pleaaassssseee keep to your authenticity! 🙏🏽 coz that’s the one huge reason I binge watch your videos

It depends on the distance an purpose of travel. I don't mind early hours of the morning flights for holidays as it maximised your time experiencing the country. Then later evening flights so you get a good last day.

Great series Josh! Always love flying to/from Africa!

Africa always seems so unorganized and hectic when traveling. I want to see some places some bloggers usually don’t go. I thought I heard you say Greenland in your last Africa vlog so if you’re going there that’d be awesome!!

Loved learning about Africa! Very interesting series. I hope you don’t get in trouble for talking about the corruption within the officials of the government in your final stop.

Hi Josh love all your videos, I'm from Australia and love going to the USA a few years ago my mum and I going to the USA and then leaving the USA managed to get a row of 3 to our selves as we only sit on the back row. Thank you United airlines! As it's a 13hrs flight and serve 2 meals and snacks United airlines are great. I slept better coming back from USA as it was night time and the row to myself made a comfy economy bed slept 7hrs straight I don't even do that at home. So I like night flight better. Please please do a video either to Australia or USA My mum and i love Vegas but not drinkers or gamblers Thank you 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Great to see Africa series josh thanks greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Happy Birthday Josh!!! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊

My first ever flight was in 1962, from Zambia to Johannesburg! From then I loved flying… even though I was only 2 years old at the time 😅 I have not flown to many international destinations but am hoping that this year (2023) that I will be visiting family in USA which I am beyond excited about. To get up into the skies again will be so awesome.

So happy that you are going to Sri Lanka can't wait for the video ✈️

Hi Josh, have been watching several of your videos. It’s amazing! The efforts that you put in for the reviews, remarkable. Your videos aid in providing information on the airlines that one needs to prefer. I do prefer the day flights.

Thank you for this video!

Great content Josh. I've always dreamed to make some flight travels like you do.

Last week this A330 neo (cs-tur) had a engine problem when it is going from lisbon to cancun. They made a emergency landing on lisbon

Thanks for sharing your experience. I love your videos.

Nice video! thx

Nice! Thank you for sharing!

normaly a more quiet viewer but that africa series was really fantastic, a lot of unique insights into carriers most of us will never fly :D

Another excellent review Josh! Cheers 🥂

What an exhausting l-o-n-g day, Josh! And a blue loo, too… yoo hoo!! It’s always a great feeling if you’re down the back & you have a row to yourself, I agree. Cheers from Australia

The budget for air-con was probably needed for bribes. I flew TAP in 1972 to Lisbon from Harare and was relegated to a crew jump seat when we landed in Luanda as the seat had been double booked. I couldn't argue as none of the crew spoke English.

Been watching all the videos and I have to say I've realy enjoyed your African adventure.

Loved the Africa series Josh! Come to Australia and do that next please!!

absolutely wonderful video

I loved the Africa tour ❤️

Loved the video Josh - Can't wait for your next avgeek adventure.

the way he said "Obrigado" I can't- 01:59

The only time the crew can tell passengers to do something with the shades is raising them for landing. Telling them to lower them is most likely to get them to sleep - making the crew’s job easier. If other pax are bothered by the light they can wear eyeshades. People who fly during the day and sit by the window have a right to look outside. SMH

Great videos. Thank you.

Thank you Josh, great entertaining report. I would love to see you do a review on Australian airlines, both international and domestic

Awesome video 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️❤️

African series were excellent, especially Nigerian Air Peace review's. I like your content Josh there are very pure. Keep it up! Love from Tanzania 🇹🇿

Hi Josh, loved the Africa series. It'd be great to see review of some central European carriers e.g. LOT, CSA, Tarom, Air Croatia, etc.

Great reviews from the continent! Really good stuff...am a little mad that you didn't make a stopover in Malawi to sample the country...will just have to wait for the next Africa review I guess...great stuff man!

As you asked what some would like to see, I would really like if you could review the Air France a350, but if possible not on the shorter flights as many trip reports are on… Maybe on the South American flights or the Seattle routes… Loved the Africa tour!

Obrigado. Safe travels. Have an amazing week. Cheers.

I really enjoyed your African series. Well done Josh!

Thank you Josh love flying wish you success and more videos love it

10:26 reminds me about United Airlines going from Frankfurt to Chicago. They have a list what to expect during the flight, there they wrote: "Lights off". I was not thinking much about that. Then the cabin crew darkened the windows of the 787 after breakfast. I took this opportunity to sleep a bit because I can't sleep in planes. I haven't flown over the pond in over three years... No idea how and why, maybe it is for the jet lag. Lisbon belongs on every bucket list. The houses with tiles are beautiful.

I really appreciate your content, great clips so far 😊

Always great to see a new vid out Josh, I am guessing either noel Phillips and maybe trek trendy. Love your vids keep up the great work!!

Hey Josh! Always a pleasure when I watch your videos always top notch! Would love to see south America tour video with maybe some videos on visits to certain areas of South America. Keep up the amazing work you do for us all to enjoy 😊!

I really liked you African Adventure videos, looking forward to you next set of videos.

Long day flights ✈️ Cannot wait for the next series!

Great video! Hope to see an Avianca video soon. Thanks for everything

I loved this so much😍

Love your video

I would love to see you review smaller USA airlines and airports 😎

Friendly crew, great wines even in economy class and even when things aren´t going according to plan, they try to solve or make it up. Have been using TAP for the last 20+ years...

One single window open on a plane during day time will ruin the sleep of everyone else on the plane. I want to arrive sharp and rested, so thank you crews for making sure everyone shuts those blinds

If there is a possibility - it would be very nice to see Josh around South America and more in Australia in the future.

The "window shades battle" is ridiculous on a day flight. I hate shutting out that light. If people want to sleep, they have eye shades. (The naughty bit of me wonders whether people sleeping in the dark means the crew aren't disturbed.)

Nice seats and nice video

Josh I really enjoyed your African trip . I prefer overnight long haul flights. It would be good if you could do a trip report from Brazil 🇧🇷 I did some spotting in São Paulo 17 years ago , brilliant experience 😀👍

Your comments are helpful when deciding what airline to take and what class to fly. Thanks.

Your presentation is highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much.

I had the same experience on TAP regarding windows closing on a day flight.

Love your videos 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️❤️

The Africa trip was super cool. As an Asia lover I would love to see you in South East Asia👍

great job 👍

I don't think I'll ever understand "Euro-Business". On top of that, I think my first encounter (IE: walking through during boarding) was on a Lufthansa A321. I like to arrive sometime after 10am. Arrive at the hotel by noon and in time to get some lunch.....

Flew with TAP recently, for me its a very good airline!

A very interesting series, it does look like on average there is some crew training work.

Loved the series ! The Air Peace was hilarious . Come to America and try a nice Detroit to Atlanta flight on a Holiday weekend

Enjoy and keep safe👍🏼 happy flying ✈

Loved the African series We would love ❤️ to see South America this time! Ecuador, Peru and Chile, the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador 🇪🇨 would be spectacular!!

Loved the series! As for the next trip, we had some really good and fun experiences with another Portugese airline, Azores Airlines. Would love to hear and see your thoughts about that one.

Josh, would love to see a series on South America! You have some great options CM, AV, LN, AR, just to name the four big players!

Love it Josh. Come back down under again. Love to see your reaction to our diff airlines and products.

I Like TAP. From Lisbon to Cancun and back was great. Food is good and stuff is very friendly.
