Experience with TAP
Hello everyone,
my girlfriend and I would like to qualify for A3 Gold next year, if our holiday plans gave us the opotrunity.
In March 2014 we would like to visit New York, Washington and perhaps Toronto (using the Maple Leaf) and we found a nice routing from DUS to EWR and back in J in TAP Portugal for about 2000 Euro which will allow us to collect around 18.000 Miles&Bonus miles.
For business reasons we are going to fly in January which will get us 1000 miles and, together with the signing Bonus of 1000 miles, will get us *A Gold.
Now, my questions are: Does anyone have any experience with TP in general and LIS as an transfer-airport? In some reports, the overall quality in J seems to be quite bad and the puncuality is not so good as well.
We have a connection time of 60 minutes in LIS, which is the minimum connection time. Will this be a problem?
Does anyone have anything, that we have to think about?
Thanks in advance for your help!
