Скачать или смотреть Whole flight from Lisbon to Ponta Delgada in a TAP A330 - lots of rainbows during descent!

My flight from LIS to PDL the day before was cancelled due to crew shortage in Lisbon, so they arranged for the next morning's flight to be an A330-200 rather than an A320 series aircraft. Even so, some passengers had to be rerouted via Porto (which they were unhappy about and complained to gate staff about at length) as the A330 could not fit everyone.

The aircraft is CS-TOO and it is operating flight TP1869 on 11 September 2022.

As with all flights I book these days, I bought sustainable aviation fuel for 100% of an economy seat's share of the CO2 generated by my booked flights. For this particular trip, I used Fly On SAF (https://www.flyonsaf.com/), but there are other alternatives, such as Compensaid (https://compensaid.com/).
