finally recieved my luggage this week. lugagge and content was not damaged but looking at the tag it seems the luggage had arrived in Lisbon correctly from NY it just was not transferred to the LCY flight

It was not the best experience for a first time Tap flyer and the experience for cabin, lounge and overall I would not be recommending them to my staff.

Alternatives I have seen to cross the Atlantic from Dublin via United or Air Lingus which also offer cheaper business seats
