Brussels to Lisbon

I had been trying to get a business deal in Brussels closed for the past couple of days so that I could head down to Lisbon to meet a colleague there on another matter.  I finally got the signatures I needed on the contract, so was able to catch a noon flight on TAP Air Portugal to Lisbon.  It's a two and a half hour flight to Lisbon.  The plane was a fairly new Airbus so it was quite nice.  I was originally on the standby list, but I cleared at the last minute and was allowed to go on board.  I arrived in Lisbon shortly after 2:30 that afternoon.
