sasset Posted January 3 #1 Share Posted January 3 (edited) Anyone have any experience on TAP in business class? Looking at BCN to LAX via LIS and JFK. Read some reviews that the lie flat seats are fairly narrow. Edited January 3 by sasset clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare alexandria Posted January 3 #4 Share Posted January 3 I haven't flown TAP yet but I booked flights in their A321neoLR business class during their Cyber Monday sale for an upcoming transatlantic cruise. For not much more than an economy ticket, my wife and I were able to get two of the "throne" seats (rows 2 and 4 have those). From watching some video reviews, it looks like those seats have more storage but the foot well when the seat is flat or significantly reclined is a little more narrow. Neither of us are large folks, so that won't be an issue for us. The seats in rows 1, 3 and 5 have less storage but a wider area for your feet. The A330 has a different layout so you'd want to check the configuration of the actual aircraft for that route. There are quite a few good videos online showing the product and service. I don't know the current pricing and how it compares to business class on other airlines, but when we booked, the price was a steal so it didn't take much thought before pulling the trigger!

Zach1213 Posted January 3 #7 Share Posted January 3 I've flown them a few times between Lisbon and Brazil and between Lisbon and Angola/Mozambique. Their hard product is pretty solid these days, especially for the price point. Seats are good, food is decent, entertainment is decent. Service is fine, not amazing nor terrible. They have definitely improved in recent years as they have received new aircraft like A339s and the A321NEOs. I believe the future is very bright for TAP, especially given their ability to fly the A321NEOs across the ocean at a lower cost than most other airlines doing transatlantic flights.

Without going into boring detail we have a caretaker government here right now. Elections will take place in March and then it's anyone's guess how long it will take the new government to get round to dealing with TAP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read some reviews that the lie flat seats are fairly narrow. In case it might be an alternative that could work for you (timings, prices, etc.), TAP also fly 3 times a week non-stop from LIS to SFO, which could give you the option of BCN>LIS>SFO>LAX.
