Flights from Brighton to Portugal: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Brighton to Portugal 
ZakFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGAL-Mar 2025
Don't bother with business if you are flying out of LHR before 06:30 as the lounges and fast track security only open at 06:00 so you will not have time to use them. For short haul European flights this is most of the benefit of going business class. Hand luggage only is better with a large rucksack (30-40L) instead of a case with wheels is possible as gate agents will usually check cases with wheels on full flights and your rucksack is less likely to be gate checked.

Book a morning flight so if it's cancelled you have time to adjust. All the airlines operating between the two are budget airlines so don't expect great service.

Keep liquids altogether because you have to place it in a plastic bag from them

Huge queues at Lisbon airport. Literally anywhere. Make sure you leave plenty of time for everything.

Check in was super slow. And my bag did not make it to the final destination. Hopefully it will be delivered -otherwise there is no way in hell I will ever fly this airline again.

The plane was FABULOUS. The crew were wonderful and the food more than I expected.

The food was dry and tasteless. Boarding process was ridiculous. Lounge is Lisbon was of very poor quality. The website is nearly unusable. Customer service was challenging. This was my first transatlantic business class flight with TAP. There will not be another.

My seat was the only seat where the tv didn’t work. The crew Carol and Jua were very rude and refused to move me and my companion to a seat where the tv was working. I traveled on a 8 hour flight with no entertainment nor able to choose my food. I was told by Jua to call customer service for compensation. The customer service team and escalation team refuses to compensate me even after verifying and speaking to the flight crew, whom confirmed they told me that. Horrible service, horrible freezing cold flight. I would never fly Jet Blue again.

Bad boarding, threat to force bag check mid journey, lines, late, buses, more waiting awful end to end.

Terrible! I had to cancel our flights due to my wife Carmen requiring an unexpected second cancer surgery. I first contacted orbitz about obtaining a credit due to medical interruption and orbitz directed me to TAP. I contacted TAP and the representative directed me back to orbitz and refused to even explain what TAP’s medical interruption policy was or how it worked—I wanted that information for a second call to orbitz. Terrible service at a particularly difficult time.

Checkin was very slow, we had checked in online and hoping we could do a bag drop at the airport. However everyone with checked bags had to queue up and it took over 40mins. Our advice arrive extra early or you will be rushing to the gate.

Was a cheap flight and it got me to Portugal on time. For economy there was ample leg room and the flight attendants were pleasant and helpful.

The staff were great - very friendly and chatty. I checked in online at 9.30am, when check in had opened at 1.30am, and choices were already very limited, so act fast.

I suspect that there was an item pilfered from my bag at the TAP automated check-in counter on March 26th at Heathrow Airport around 11:30am. I think that the employee assisting me with my bags took something out of it when I was not paying attention because today, March 27th there is a notebook missing. Please check the camera to see if indeed this occurred. My description: Male, African Decent, 5'8, 180lbs medium build, wearing trousers and a jacket. Employee description: Female, Indian Decent (guessing) 5'7, slight build. Flight 1359, London to Lisbon.

Boarded and sat on plane for 3.5 hours before taking off, Updates infrequent and no refreshments offered.

I didn't have food, and there was no entertainment as it was a short haul flight, so can't comment on those, The head cabin crew member was addressing the passengers like a telesales person reeling off terms and conditions; we didn't understand a word he was saying. This is the second time this year we have flown with Ryanair, and both times we've had to carry our luggage downstairs to walk to the plane. As were both OAP's this isn't really acceptable. We have another flight booked for September to Lanzarote, so hopefully that will be better.

Smooth journey made good time. The aircraft was littered and did not look very presentable.

Flight was ok until there was a sudden juddering in the plane and a severe sudden loss of height. There were a lot of distressed passengers and not a single word was said by the pilot or crew.

Awful, the plane was on time but Ryan Air chose to use it for another flight that was running late to avoid the 3 hour penalty so our own flight was 1.5 hours late. This meant a 1 am scheduled landing became 2..30 and we missed our car hire which costs us an extra £300 to rebook - bloody shambles

Stuck on run way for 2 hours before takeoff - tractor breakdown

Enough seat availability for us to move a little and so sit together - but the flight was half an hour late

I didn't eat any food so can't comment on that. The prices on the plane are extortionate (as are all prices on planes). Everything else was seemless and a great experience

I need assistance and I could not fault it at all. I suffer anxiety and I was always put at ease by assistance staff, and the banter was good. On board the staff was so very nice and kind and showed empathy. Thank you to them. It was my first time travelling since I lost my husband and was so grateful to them.

Staff were friendly and flight was on time. Free drink and snacks would have been appreciated.

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

Flight was two hours delayed then instead of flying to Gatwick we got diverted to Southend airport! Then they cancelled our flight and we all got told we had to get off the plane and make our own way to wherever we had to go? EasyJet just abandoned us, no help and as a tourist not knowing even where I was? Disgusting behaviour from the company!!

I’ve always flew with Ryan, but never again I’ll always fly with easyJet

There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.

Fast boarding, smooth takeoff and landing. plenty of space in seats. Excellent air-conditioning on a hot day. Perfect experience

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

The pilot did everything possible to make up the 35 minute delay. His communications were honest, prompt and positive throughout.

Staff were lovely. Seats could be wider/ more comfortable and late taking off

British Airways is very good... Taxiing after landing took 35 minutes, can't really blame the airline but the terrible infrastructure at JFK.

It was not British Air, we were put onto Air Portugal for our London to Lisbon leg.

Horrible leg room - coach seating with empty seat in middle on a 3 across seating. You buy business class for comfort which includes leg room. Absolutely no entertainment options either. Awful experience

The on flight entertainment system touch screen system and the USB charger did not work on multiple seats on least 4 seats an in different rows. The attendant tried to reset the system but was un successful. I couldn't change my phone to get my ticket for my next flight. This was an international flight I changed seats and the problem was the same. the flight attendant offered his power bank

Business class was nothing more than Economy with middle seat empty. Uncomfortable seat and leg room. A mom behind me had a 18 month/2 yr old on her lap, who had his feet on my back all the time- while middle seat remained empty. Pretty much not worth the fare. Very disappointed.

Once again I purchase a business class ticket and the seat is exactly the same as cattle class, the only difference being is that BA install a janky table over the middle seat so there is somewhere to place your complimentary drink, the tray table is just big enough for the small tray, so if you are not concerned about getting fed and watered on the plane or getting access to the BA lounge I would save your money and fly cattle, PS the cabin crew were exceptional in every way, shame about the equipment

When bussing people to/from the gate, don't pack everyone in like a can of sardines and don't send the bus on its way if the plane isn't ready. Waited for about 40 minutes packed in this bus...both ways!

A Perfect 2.5 hr flight. No amenities, but we did not expect any.

Delayed flight by 45 minutes. Need a refund to compensate for the subsequent itinerary changes

The flight was delayed and absolutely packed, we had to dispach our hand luggage which contained some fragile items, luckly nothing was damaged.

Far easier than I expected it to be. Checked in online & had our boarding passes emailed through. Straight through security & boarded on time. No issues.

The crew at Check-in was very helpful. It’s was appreciate.

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

The cabin crew on that flight were super fantastic and super helpful. They were so polite and considerate that i felt i travelled with a 5star airline.

Delayed delayed delayed - always with Wizzair. Staff were friendly and well mannered but clearly the company is unorganized and the aircrafts are outdated.

It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

What I liked new airplane Sitting was extremely uncomfortable! Crew not smiley at all Always chewing gum

The flight was cancelled just 4 hours before the take off...
