And if you want to spend a little extra, Club Class on Air Transat is pampering at its best. The flight attendants couldn't have been more helpful or attentive, and that included the flight back. There was so much food, I couldn't begin to tell you about it all. And yes, the seats were comfy enough to doze off.
Where were we flying? Portugal, a well kept secret according to one of the delightful flight attendants.
Lisbon is a very sophisticated city, with lots to do, great shopping, fabulous restaurants and enough ancient buildings, not to mention history, to keep all appetites fascinated.
Transat offers a wide range of hotels to choose from and features many of the Vila Gale hotels.
Ours was the Vila Gale Opera, next to the docks area, with bars and restaurants, just a few steps from the Belem tower and the Jeronimos Monastery, and just 10 minutes from great shopping. Think great buys on shoes and purses.
This city is a walking city so be sure to wear sturdy shoes as you explore the historical neighbourhoods. I learned to look down as well as up and across. Why? The "calcada portugues," is the traditional black and white stone mosaic design worth at least two pictures.
We were told the old district is very bright, light and open due to the earthquake. I wondered if I'd missed some news. No, actually the earthquake happened in 1755, but people still talk about it as though it was yesterday. They'll tell you the reason for so many buildings faced with tiles is because they're considered more fireproof, and the fires after the earthquake destroyed what the earthquake didn't. A second reason is that it keeps the humidity out. The beautiful exteriors beg for picture after picture.

We would have paid a good bit of money for this unique wine-tasting experience but we didn't have to -- it was free. Numerous wines from three different regions of Portugal are on offer each month, and you can select up to a total of four of them to taste. There were even some sparkling wines available.

No visit is complete without listening to Fado, the unique music of the city. A visit to the Fado Museum will give you a glimmer of the music, and the history of Fado that began in the second half of the 19th century in the narrow streets of the poorer neighborhoods.
