Total zoo in to South Terminal. Lots of announcements apologising for check in delays. Makes me feel glad I'm flying TAP today.

The TAP flight from Lisbon, however, is over an hour late.

Surely you'd be in the nice new BA Lounge sipping bubbles with your bacon butty?

Oooh - stressful! I used to find it tough enough travelling with just 2 kids and a wife - flying with a party of 10, no thanks - do enjoy it when you get there. I've not been to Portugal for quite a few years but I always enjoyed my visits when I did.

You should try Porto.The intercontinental there is perfect for a long weekend.

Porto was the main location of my visits, sadly the company merged before disappearing to China! I did enjoy my all too brief stays there. I particularly enjoyed the restaurants by the river ... and the Port!
Lisbon s busy and Faro too. Nice to visit but Porto for sure remains my favorite.

A few minor ATC delays I believe. We have been told of a 20 min slot delay.
