Flying with TAP Air Portugal From Lisbon to London Heathrow

Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. The turbulence was not as bad as what I was anticipating and for most parts of the flight, it was smooth. Off we go, fortunately it wasn't turbulent. Unlike my first day in Lisbon, the weather was gloomy.

My Tribute to Vistara Part 2: Flying Vistara's Airbus A321neo From New Delhi To Singapore

Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

For the flight itself, after take off at Delhi, we encountered quite a bit of turbulence and also more turbulence happened during the crossing through the Bay of Bengal. I slept about 2 hours but I did wake up a few times due to turbulence. But it doesn't matter as by the time I was up, the flight time was less than hour to go.

Flying the Boeing 737 MAX 8 with Singapore Airlines (Part 1: SIN-PEN)

Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

There was quite a bit of turbulence in the middle of the flight but landing in Penang was a smooth affair. As the Boeing 737-8 is a single aisle narrow-body aircraft. Flying at this point was a bit turbulent as we flew through some unfriendly clouds. That is why I love flying, you get to enjoy such beautiful view.

Flying with TAP Air Portugal From London Heathrow To Lisbon

Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

As far as I know the A321neo-LR is the only narrow-body aircraft in TAP's fleet that has seatback screens in both Economy and Business Class. Fortunately, the turbulence wasn't strong enough for any of us on board to use this bag. So if you have your own entertainment, no issue at all.
