The daughter of my wife, her husband and two children of 8 and 10 booked a TAP flight from Brussels to Dakar. The flight from Brussels to Lisbon was redirected to Faro where the passengers waited in the plane for four hours. They recieved each one cup of water. Arrived in Lisbon after midnight and missing the connection to Dakar, no staff member of TAP waited for them to inform them or help them. When they found the TAP office on the airport, staff members closed the desk and told them to wait until the next morning opening. With no facilities to sleep or have a drink or meal, the children had to sleep on the floor of the waiting hall of the airport. In the morning, after long queuing, TAP told them they could book a flight for Dakar for them in 8 (eight) days …!!! In the meantime they should pay themselves for hotel and meals and try to get paid back by TAP later on. But they learned from other passengers who had the same experience that TAP did not reimburse the made spendings, invoking “force majeure” circumstances.
