Thanks for taking the time for all these valuable updates. Do you have any info on how reliable Sata Azores Airlines is for flying from JFK to Madeira?

Thanks for update.

Thanks!

We flew TAP nonstop between Chicago and Lisbon, as it is the only carrier offering that now. The price was very reasonable and the service was fine, too. The only downside seemed to be that LIS is operating over its effective capacity. We circled around on the tarmac and taxiway for an hour after landing before a parking spot that could accommodate the A330-900 opened up, then another hour at the carousel before all the bags were delivered. We had to wait on the bus for 10-15 minutes while the cleaning and maintenance folks completed their work before we could board the return flight due to delays with that aircraft's parking. Everything I have read so far suggests that no one can really agree on how to address that in the near term, nor is there any firm timetable in place for the new airport after 20 years of squabbling. I wonder how much that will impact the price that the Portuguese government can possibly reap for TAP.

I use it one time from London to Porto and never ever again I am really not understand why many companies and most of cheap them tp why people keeping using tp expensive services 0/10 everything you have to pay for it and in the exiting take very long time they're not using the technology like other countries still using pen and peaper

Thanks again Joric. I’ll be planning our winter trip (i.e., 3rd scouting trip) soon and will keep this video in mind. 👍🏻

Thanks for heads up
