100% Points Miles and Bling
TAP Portugal’s catering on flights departing from Toronto (YYZ) has received mixed feedback.
Service interruptions and compensation
- On a Toronto‑Lisbon A321LR flight, no meal service was provided because the catering provider was on strike; passengers received $35 in meal vouchers to use at the airport instead of in‑flight food, and only beverages were served during the seven‑hour journey Points Miles and Bling .
Menu options when service is available
- Another traveler on a Toronto‑Lisbon‑Venice itinerary reported being able to pre‑book meals, choosing a Sea Bass with Putanesca sauce for the main course and enjoying a selection of Portuguese spirits and wines Points Miles and Bling .
Overall impression
- The experience varies: when the catering operation runs normally, TAP offers Portuguese‑inspired dishes and drinks, but disruptions like the strike can leave passengers without in‑flight meals, relying only on airport vouchers and limited beverage service Points Miles and Bling Points Miles and Bling .
Points Miles and Bling Review: TAP Air Portugal A321LR Business Class
The Airbus A321LR (Long Range) holds the record for the longest range of any single-aisle aircraft. It’s capable of flying up to 4,000 nautical miles non-stop. TAP Air Portugal operates its A321LR aircraft on its direct flights to Lisbon from Montreal and Toronto. TAP Air Portugal A321LR business class can be booked using Aeroplan miles or redeemed on any other Star Alliance member’s program. With Aeroplan, the redemption rates are 60,000 miles one-way from Toronto to Lisbon for the lowest reward or 74,000 miles for the flexible reward, excluding taxes and fees.

Points Miles and Bling My experience at the Carnival in Venice, and the Masquerade Ball
Carnival in Venice is one of the most iconic events in Italy that takes place in the weeks leading up to Lent, with the main celebrations occurring in the ten days before Ash Wednesday. The Carnival has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was initially held to celebrate a victory in battle. Today, the festival is celebrated for its elaborate costumes, masks, and festivities. Having already been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and Carnival in Rio De Janeiro in past years I always wanted to tick Carnival in Venice off the bucket list,
