Hi!
From Portugal I usually take US Airways flight from Lisbon to
Philadelphia, and then from Philadelphia to SFO. Everything works
fine, more than enough time to make the switch on Philadelphia on the
way to SFO. Coming back it's a little tighter, but you can feel the
portuguese spirit right there... the plane will wait for every
passenger from every connection, no hurries, relax and live longer. :)
2007 was perfect. On 2006, the baggage transfer was not fast enough
to catch the same plane I did to SFO, but it arrived some hours later
and they took it to my hotel, in the next morning it was waiting for
me on the hotel lobby.
Although the planes are not very confortable (BA and Continental
have much more room between seats) I can't really complain about
anything. It's the cheaper flight, it's fast (not a long time on the
hub), it works for me. I would prefer a direct flight from Paris or
London or whatever to SFO, but the cost would be much higher.
Yours
Miguel Arroz
