Shortly after seatbelt signs were off, cabin service started. Service was a sandwich with full bar service followed by duty free service. Service was prompt though with little smiles. The sandwiches were also nothing to rave about though the chocolate bar was nice. Full drinks and alcohol selection was available followed by coffee or tea. Well, at least BA still serves a sandwich on their intra-european flights, unlike many other carriers which have switched to buy-on-board.
Cabin service
Ham & cheese / tuna sandwich with chocolate bar
Diet coke and coffee
After the meal service, there was nothing much else to do except to see the world go by outside the windows. We were also quite dazed at this point in time with the long hours of flying.
Somewhere over Portugal, near Porto i think.
Descending into Lisbon
The approach into Lisbon was quite spectacular, with the clear skies, beautiful scenery and the low approach over buildings!
Final approach
Over Lisbon
Flaps out, gears down..

Parked at the gate.
We arrived slightly ahead of schedule. First flight on BA, not really very impressive but not too bad either. Cabin is very worn out (probably cuz the B757s are really old) and the crew just do their job, nothing more. However, have not tried them on long-hauls so can't comment much, but their intra-european offerings must have already been the better ones out there.
Next flight on TAP Portugal, which was really good!
