While the images of TAP Portugal's retro jet were still fresh, the Portuguese flag carrier has been back at it!
Just fresh from the paint shop, the new special livery - as in the case of the retro jet painted on an Airbus A330 - celebrates the first anniversary of the Portugal Stopover programme.
Through the Portugal Stopover initiative, TAP encourages and facilitates that transit passengers turn their stopover into a two or three day stay in Portugal. A number of establishments (shops, restaurants, etc) have joined in offering discounts to travelers taking part in the programme.
Although I have not taken part in the programme itself, having spent a few days in Portugal recently, all I can say is that even the three day stay may prove to be too short! - this is possibly the reason that TAP is adding a 5-day stopover to its programme and is extending it to parts of the country further away from Lisbon, such as Madeira (a wonderful island I visited a few weeks ago courtesy of TAP), the Azores or the southern region of Algarve.
