Prologue:
After a splendid weekend in Lisbon it was time to continue to Toulouse with Vendredi13. We took the metro from Saldanha station which was right in front of our hotel to the airport.The IB ticket counter opens 2 hrs before the flight departs so we had a wait a little bit once we got to the airport.

The ANA lounge is operated by Lisbon airport and pretty much is used by J pax in J that are not flying on *A carriers and that use T1.

There was a line to enter.

Inside it was very crowded. Later I took a look at the TAP lounge next door and it was the same.

Gate area was small and crowded. There was a general holding area in the main terminal and we had to look at the screens in order to find out which gate IB was using.

Boarding.

The purser at the door saw my phone and said no pictures. Also he enforced mask compliance for everybody boarding.

Just a safety card and bag at each seat. No magazines.

Summary:
Apart from the rather aggressive attitude of the purser the other 2 crew members were friendly and smiling. There were lots of pax who were not wearing masks and some members of a sports team were a bit defiant towards the purser.For such a short 1 hr. flight the tapas plate was fine and I wouldn't expect anything more.

ReplyThank you Panda for this good review. Sometimes it's better not to understand the attitude.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss and it's better not to ask. ;)
ReplyAn electric trip given the purser and pax behavior.
Still a nice flight!
It makes for good "onboard" entertainment.
ReplyKeep up the good work on your reviews.

ReplySeams that you may order food for free on internet for the IB flights (not Air Nostrum) will try!
ReplyI nearly told tonterias (my spanish is a bit rusty nowadays) you need to delete for free from my 1st comment .
ReplyHey Adan!
I knew this lounge almost empty during the covid and I can't recognize it with all these people!
On board it does the job for such a short flight, but the purser and his no photo... what an asshole, lol!
Thank you for sharing this flight with IB!
ReplySalut Seb,
Un vrai con le mec ... mais c'est la vie! At the end he bid me goodbye with a big smile as if nothing. Ha ha.
I took this route on IB a few years back and I remember being served an omelette - a very proper breakfast.
ReplyWoof ! JetSet' !
Fantastic aerial views on Lisbon while climbing. A great reward after this crowded wait at the gate;)
Tapas plate was a bit too small for this full mid-day business flight. Fa's were professional.
Thanks Adan !
