ReisenderIf the trip to Portugal is pricey...probably best not to walk...lol!
ReisenderHaha 😂😂 I was more offended at their price! I just came back here and it was 42 euro, so $60 Can. And not $100 Can. I hate being ripped off😜 and clearing security here was so fast that I didn't need to get up at 4:30... It's only 5:30 and I'm at the gate for 7 o'clock boarding.
