How 'bout BOTTLE Air Ireland?

Just had to suggest this...

I don't think TAP comes from that but it just came to my mind... Probably because of the hugely successful "what comes to your mind first" thread.

To the topic:
I read in the news some days ago that Finnair has the best record of on-time flights. They've really got different values than a normal airline. That value is something I don't consider quite important because it is completely normal for a commercial flight to be late. Connections can be missed, though, but that's life.

TAP - Transportes Aereos Portugueses, means Portuguese Air Tranports (or something like that)

I am no frequent flyer at all, but the long distance flight from London to Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei was very pleasant. Good seats, friendly flight attendants and a smooth flight.

The company i was flying with was the national airline of Brunei Royal Brunei Airlines

From those cheapies, I've only taken V Bird, which was very pleasant. The planes were all good and the crew was very nice. The only problem was the way they pronounced letters k and g making their German and English almost ununderstandable.. Krrghgrgr and so on

V-Bird lost his airplanes today and it has stranded several thousand passengers. The company has no money to lease them anymore. A take-over is its best chance to survive.

I was using many different airlines ... Austrian, Tyrolian, Lot, Jat, Lufthansa, Swiss Air, Ryan Air, Quantas, Virgin, American, some charter flights, ......... I think I liked Lauda Air best (very good service, delicious food and they even used 'real' spoons,forks and knifes - no plastic!) !!

First of all, and it`s not for being portuguese i do recommend, Fly TAP.

My small experience in flights
Dan Air - don´t know if still exists, but we had a small palne and the A/C system was sending water inside the plane

British Airways - Good plane, good food

Lufthansa - Good plane, medium food, nice stewardesses

Air Luxor (Egyptian Charter) - Good planes, great landings (no food available)

Egypt Air - Packed plane, but the atmosphere was priceless

Tunisair - Fair plane / good plane (two different flights) - Fair food

TAP - Good plane, friendly attendants, good landings

SATA ( Air Açores ) - Good planes, good food (when available) Best pilots with bad weather (flying between azores islands with bad weather it`s an experience of a lifetime) and good landings

I believe when a company has lots of delays usually the problem is in the airport. About food, unfortunatelly with all cuts made, food is becoming plane food again

I voted for other airlines.

Emirates is the best airline I have ever been on. They give you a damp cloth to clean your hands, food menu and other things before each flight. Their cabin crew on the flight spoke more than 20 languages.

Lufthansa was good too although it had less legroom than Emirates.

3rd best is AirMalta, and fortunately enough, lately, there has been an improvement in the food given.

I have also been on Tuninter, Sabre Airlines, Air Canada but they didn't impress me much.
