About this flight
This was my return flight from Porto, Portugal’s second-largest city, to the capital city of Lisbon. I flew in economy class with TAP Air Portugal.
Before boarding at Porto Airport, I spent some time in the TAP Air Portugal lounge. There I enjoyed a variety of treats, including pastel de nata—Portugal’s beloved national sweet (known as an egg tart in Japan)—as well as other desserts, fresh vegetable salads, and Portuguese-style fried bread.
