Thank you for contacting TAP Air Portugal. Your comments will allow us to improve the experience with our company. We wish to offer our sincere apology for the unintentional delay in responding to your e-mail.


We apologize for the delay of flight TP1357 from Heathrow to Lisbon on the 15th of May 2023. As a result, you missed the connecting flight TP1032, and our staff secured your journey on the next alternate flight TP1040, the next day. Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience caused to you on this occasion.

The flight was delayed due to restrictions at airport of departure, with or without ATFM restrictions. In line with current legislation such situations are beyond the control of airline and are considered as extra ordinary circumstances and passengers are not entitled for EU261 compensation. Hence, we respectfully deny your claim for EU261 compensation.

Further we regret to note that you incurred additional expenses due to flight disruption. In regards to the first need expenses incurred, we request you to provide us with the original receipts for our further analysis and consideration.

We hope that your subsequent journeys with us will be to your entire satisfaction.

Yours sincerely,

not sure if there is anything what I can do now... ?

+ need to add this:
STD ATD STA STATUS


as you can see airplane had already delay from LIS airport so not really related with LHR.
