Passenger Opinions about TAP Portugal (2412 words)
Many of us feel that TAP will be paying for the new airport with monies coming in from Excess baggage and this is the only place on earth, I have ever had to pay such a penalty.
I have been using TAP for the past 16 years and was quite surprised that I was made to pay 5 kg in excess luggage.
TAP has changed its luggage allowance from 25Kg to 20 without warning, even though I am a regular traveller I was never warned about this change.
