Correct. Lie flat at TP is a very recent development (!) and if my memory serves me well, only JFK and BOS are currently served with the 2/3 aircraft with lie flat. But yes, full refurb on the way for many of the others. So expect Angled Seats |
MPM fare seems to be gone now.
|
Just to note that this is still widely available for TMS and DKR.
TMS looks fascinating - love when these deals push me to explore more. However the 45min connections at Accra look... tight. Does anyone have experience with this connection? Dare I hope that they hold for the LIS feeder flights...? |

I agree, has anyone flown this and experience with the ACC connection? |

LIS-ACC-TMS is the same plane.
Doh! What a planestupid question from me :O |

Is there any time of the year when they operate TMS with A330?

But not on the same type of plane. Last time i checked, economy priced a bit more than half of the business fare and the comfort won't be much worse there. Also, interestingly, booked into W which earns 100% in various programs.

There again, you could strike lucky and get an empty seat next to you in economy class.... As for the miles, unless you are a United or Air Canada collector I don't think you'll get more than 50%. TP's own programme is a bit of mystery. |

Thanks for the info about SADC! I wish FT would introduce a simple "thank you" button... |

The longish flight, Lisbon to Accra, isn't going to be a comfort-fest in any of TP's A320 seats. But at least in business-class you get significantly more personal space and convenience with an empty seat next to you; and the cabin crew should give you just a tad more attention, and some OK food, before they retire behind the curtain :D

Oh well, it lasted for quite a while and so far they haven't canceled my trip to MPM which I booked a month ago on April 5th. |
Definitely gone now, to DKR as well.
Was very tempted in booking to TMS, seems like a very interesting destination. Sao Tome is one of the least visited countries on earth... However 6 hours in a 320 i can do without.. :-) Did see the 330 on the LIS-DKR route though... |

TP was always partial to tag flights: at one time there was talk of doing São Tome through Bissau. THAT would have been fun! |

Then try Guinea Bissau, another of TP's niche destinations 🙄.

Fare gone today, was still available yesterday though up to APR18

Any cancellations so far?
My trip to MPM still looks fine. |
Hi,
Just wondering, anyway already travelled this fare or irrelevant of this fare traveled recently to MPM? Understand that there is now Visa on Arrival for EU citizens.. just that I am reading it is a dual-entry visa for ~ 50 USD. Is this information correct? If not, can anyone let me know what the situation is on the Visa on Arrival - fees and if it's single or dual. Reason is because I will be travelling to Swaziland and back, so want to know how much money I need to have in case. Thanks in advance! Cheers! |
