Video: What’s it Like to Fly on TAP Air Portugal A330neo?
I flew with TAP Air Portugal A330-900neo from San Francisco to Lisbon in early June. It was my first time flying with TAP and many have warned me they didn't have the best reputation.
At San Francisco, there is no lounge open at the international terminal. I visited an empty ghost lounge prior to boarding. Onboard TAP, I discovered both seat products in Business and Economy Class. The plane was new and the cabin is fresh. The pilots gave me a great welcome and explained the features of A330neo. After takeoff, drinks and dinner were served. I slept 4 hours in the new Business Class seat. The seat although narrow, it is long enough for my height (6'1).
After sunrise, passengers were greeted to a scenic arrival into Lisbon International. Most of the passengers were on transit at Lisbon.
At the end of the video, I gave my remarks on flying TAP. I think TAP has one of the best airfare Trans-Atlantic if you purchase in advance. Therefore, one of the cheapest full service airline in both Economy and Business Class.
