I flew with TAP airlines yesterday (03/10/08) on Flight TP348 from Madeira to Gatwick. I have two issues really, the first being the most important:- During the course of the flight it became readily apparent that a young portugese male had decided to ignore all flight crew instructions and smoked in one of the onboard toilets. Despite a female member of cabin crew obviously discussing it with him as he returned to his seat, aboslutely NO ACTION was taken against him upon landing and he was simply allowed to walk off the plane. What message does this send to all of the other passengers on the flight? I cannot believe that this male was not arrested upon landing at Gatwick and charged with endangering an aircraft. Second point, crew were non existent when coming in to land, as I watched a very elderly lady walk to the bathroom despite the seat belt signs being on, and no-one either assisted her or asked her to return to her seat. I do not feel that TAP is a safe airline for these reasons.

Perhaps you could give some more information regarding TAP, not just negative things. The places they fly to, the cost, food on journey etc. I have flown with them previously and we were very pleased with the service. Jo x
