choosing between turkish airlines and taag for portugal trip

So my cousin and I are finally making our dream trip to Portugal this September, and let me tell you, picking the right flight is turning into a whole adventure on its own! We spent hours comparing prices, and TAAG is definitely the cheapest, but Turkish Airlines isn’t too far behind. Here’s the thing: I’ve read so many mixed reviews about both airlines that now I’m just confused. Some people say Turkish Airlines is great, others complain about delays and lost luggage. TAAG, on the other hand, is a total mystery to me—barely anyone I know has flown with them. The kicker? The TAAG flight has a super long layover, but at least I have lounge access. The catch is, I’ve heard the lounge isn’t anything to write home about—maybe just a sad sandwich and a lukewarm coffee. I’m worried about being stuck in an airport for hours, especially if the lounge is disappointing. Plus, I keep imagining my suitcase going on its own vacation and never making it to Lisbon. Has anyone actually flown with TAAG or Turkish Airlines recently? Did your bags make it? Was the layover as bad as people say? If you had to choose, would you save money and risk the long layover, or pay a bit more for (maybe) better service? I’d love to hear some real stories—good or bad! Honestly, I just want to get to Portugal with my cousin and my luggage all in one piece. Anyone else ever feel like booking a flight is more stressful than the trip itself? #TravelQuestions #PortugalTrip #FlightAdvice #TravelWorries #AirlineStories #Travel

is portugal really wheelchair friendly for travelers?

Last summer, I promised my parents a trip to Portugal—Lisbon and the sunny south, just for a week. My mom can walk short distances, but for anything longer, she needs a wheelchair. I started picturing us rolling down those beautiful cobblestone streets, but then I remembered how uneven and steep some European cities can be. I mean, we spent 20 minutes last year just trying to find a ramp at a café in Paris, and it nearly ruined our morning! I’ve read that Lisbon is full of hills and narrow sidewalks, and honestly, I’m worried my mom will miss out on the best parts, like those cute little bakeries tucked away on side streets. It’s frustrating—everyone says Portugal is so charming, but do they ever think about how tough it is for someone in a wheelchair? I want her to enjoy the trip, not just sit on the sidelines while we explore. Has anyone actually managed to navigate these places with a wheelchair? Or is it all just pretty pictures and no real access? #wheelchairtravel #portugaltrip #familytravel #Travel
