FEBRUARY  HIGHLIGHT

MILAN - TROPPO CHIC!

"(...)We have begun 2010 with extra energy and a positive outlook, expecting that the first positive indicators become a reality and the start of a new phase of consolidation and revitalisation of air transport and the tourism and travel sector.

On the same subject of travel and tourism, the Turismo de Portugal 2009 award given to this in-fl ight magazine during the Lisbon Tourism Fair, in recognition of its contribution to improving Portugal’s image throughout the world, is yet another positive sign and very satisfying.

Th is is the fi rst time that UP, the only bilingual Portuguese publication about Portugal, which reaches an average of one million readers per month, has received a prize in its own country, after the various international awards it has won since it started being published two years ago.

Th is is reason enough to invite you to continue this issue of UP, which celebrates the city of Milan, fashion and design capital and this month’s cover city, the month of great fashion shows.

With four flights a day – three from Lisbon and one from Porto – Milan is one of the most attractive destinations on TAP’s European network and one of the four Italian cities where our company operates.Alongside Rome, Venice and Bologna, TAP off ers an average of 27 flights a day, every day, for your trips between Portugal and Italy. Apart from Milan, there’s much more to discover in the pages of this month’s magazine, with our customary stop in Portugal."
