If you are questioning going on TAP Air Portugal Economy flight to Europe or US, watch our experience including boarding, seat tour, meals, bathroom and crew. We found $300 roundtrip tickets from Newark Liberty EWR to Lisbon LIS and decided to take a chance in a narrow body airplane.

TP gets a bad wrap because when things go bad, they are not good a problem resolution, however, TP is in the top 10 safest carriers in the world (1 deadly crash in 70 years!) and has some of the best trained pilots in the industry. This is what matters. The fact on top of that you still get decent aircrafts, free food and drinks, pillows and blankets on board, make this airline quite a deal despite the increase in prices, something that has affected all carriers in the industry.

What a great report!!! Although I wish you didn't do take-off and landing in fast-mo. The plane looked great and there seems to be plenty of room around the seats. I sometimes think some people's reluctance to flying a longer flight without the extra aisle (that you never even use) is more psychological than anything. I suppose you do feel more enclosed but most of a flight you're in your own little bubble anyway. Also some flights within the USA and Australia aren't much shorter than transatlantic flights.

Thank you so much for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed it. We 100% agree that the narrow body planes for longer flights can work as long as the seats are comfortable and the staff and service is nice. We didn’t miss 777 or A-330 at all but do admit that the high ceilings of a wide body and the luxury of having 4 middle seats are nice (a family of 4 like us). In short, now we will not hesitate to fly TAP A-321neo across the Atlantic :)

It is a great question. Based on our experience over 7 years flying on Tap, if there are no change to plans than you are good but if you need to contact customer service, the experience is not optimal. Since we didn’t change our plans or seats etc. we had a great experience. On the way back we were held in a hold area near runway for 2+ hours but we were comfortable watching movies and resting.

Oh my... I’ve flown roundtrip to LIS on AirPortugal both from EWR and from JFK last year. I’m surprised they are using a narrow body plane for transatlantic route now. I wonder why? But after watching your video i realize it’s actually not that bad at all. TAP has terrific travel deals to many European destinations with a connection in LIS for under $500 roundtrip sometimes - can’t beat that price I wish some passengers learned basic plane manners and understand the importance of putting their seats upright during the meal service as a courtesy to fellow passenger in the back. I noticed the passenger seated in front of your wife made it uncomfortable 🤨

Thank you for watching our video and your comment. This was a surprise for us too. TAP is currently offering both A-321LR neo and A-330 (wide body) for the Lisbon to New York route. We just booked a May trip back on A-330. You are correct. It sound horrible but they have done a great job in maintaining the international flight feel, good seats, service and meals. And at $300 roundtrip, it makes sense Our flight to Lisbon was a red-eye flight so we understood that people slept through the meal service and we 100% agree that people should adjust the seat during meal service. All in all it was a great experience.

@@spikefivefivefive you are correct. I remember flying to Porto from Newark on a red eye flight. I didn’t want to pay for seat selection so I agreed to whatever seat was assigned to me by the agent. To my surprise the flight was practically empty. I was able to move upfront and seat comfortably by the window and have the entire row empty. Others used the middle 4 seats as a bed I think it’s a disaster for an airline when their plane needs to depart with so many empty seats.

Ran across your video searching for videos on TAP AIR as I'm also planning a trip from the US to Portugal and they seem to have the best fares but was wondering if it was bad or not. Someone online had mentioned that they are like the Spirit of Portugal (they charge for everything) so I'm not sure if this was true or not for you, but at least it's nice to see that the plane is your typical jet and that economy is pretty much the same as you'd find probably on a bigger airline. I'm sure that you don't get all of the amenities sa you would on say a major carrier like United or Delta, but that's fine (usually I've found the biggest difference to be seat comfort and in-flight snacks when I've flow different airlines -- at least domestically in the US). Obviously ones like Spirit and Frontier do not serve snacks on their flights (at least their flights that are probably under 4 hours, as the l ongest flight I've taken with them has been 2-3 hours) whereas some of the others like Southwest do serve snacks on flights that are 2 hours or longer.

Happy planning and glad the video was helpful.

@@KhizEesa Thanks yeah the more I'm reading into TAP it seems like for the money it's not bad. I mean it's not like flying one of the big airlines like United in their premium economy, but the price also isn't anywhere near that either. In some respects, Economy on TAP looks almost like premium economy on some US airlines so that's a plus. For my trip though I did pay extra for things like early boarding and got the Classic (versus basic Economy) which drives the price up but it was still in-line with what other airlines were charging for the same flight but with less perks/benefits (like a checked bag).

Good to know that you guys found TAP to be a nice airline . Do they also serve Halal food ❓ Before the introduction of wide body aircraft , single aisle narrow body B-707 and B- 720 were the planes we would fly on half way across the globe . Some of the planes even had a Cargo pallet sitting right behind the cockpit , with a narrow passage on the side linking the cockpit to the main passenger cabin .

TAP is rated one of worse airlines in Europe. TAP trying to get the Portuguese government for loans to stay in business, or a complete buy-out. If you are flying to,Lisbon and not connecting you should be ok. Connecting to other EU cities is very iffy with TAP. Luggage is always mishandled. Connecting out of LIS also or back into LIS…Good-Luck. It’s cheap for reason. The chance of getting a refund from TAP for any reason is a joke. You will wait for your bank to get a refund. The airline will not answer phones unless you are buying.

Rarely have been so let down by an airline as with TAP. Their groundworkers went on strike and they knew in advance but did not inform us that this would affect flight operations. Then hours before the flight they cancelled it just before I was about to leave for the airport. Trying to reach their hotline was impossible, it was completely down and online they referred me to an online rebooking option. The next flight on offer....5 days later. This was for my summer vacation and fortunately I was going for some time, but imagine you plan to go for a week and are being told bad luck, you have to wait for 5 days to get another flight. Even though EU regulations stipulate that if airlines cancel flights due to strikes they are to offer the next best alternative flight. Despite countless attempts to call their hotline it continued to be down the next day and I was left with no choice but to fly 5 days later. Another insidious schem they deploy to rip you off, if you try to change your seat in the system and you select another one it shows you how much the seat costs. That's fine, however, unlike with all other airlines where you can just cancel or switch back to the original seat that the system selected for you it won't let you. The moment you clicked on another seat the system wouldn't let me select my old seat and it said I owed them 40 Euros. I closed the window and re-connected yet, may new seat selection remained saying I owed 40 euros, without ever pressing the confirmation button. I ignored it but then when checking in they had trouble checking me in and I had to go to the transfer counter in Lisbon to get my ticket printed. All to avoid paying 40 Euros for a seat I never even wanted. Long story short, avoid this dumpster airline if you have alternatives, not only do they not care about passenger rights they also try to rip you off with system gimmicks. I for one will only ever fly with them again if I have no alternative airline flying to the same destination.

It’s an option but if we fly TAP again, we will go to ticket counter in case they have any issues we can resolve them there rather than last minute boarding at the gate.

We didn’t notice them although looking at TAP airlines website, you can ask for a “CarryCot” (www.flytap.com/en-us/travel-with-children/flying-with-infants-and-children). Also, on other site (upgradedpoints.com/travel/airlines/airline-bassinet-seat-guide/) it says “TAP Air Portugal offers bassinets for infants up to 12 months old on its long-haul flights and in business class of some medium-haul aircraft. The number of seats available for cots varies from one type of aircraft to another. This information is immediate and confirmed when you book. The bassinet dimensions are 29 x 13 x 8.8 inches (75 x 34 x 22.4 cm) and can support a baby up to 24 pounds (11 kg)”. Hope this helps

Hi, so sorry for the late response but in general the seat prices are between $19 - $55. You can see samples rates on their site www.flytap.com/en-us/booking-information/book-your-favourite-seat

Airbus A320 family makes this bearable. If it's Boeing B737, it would be uncomfortable. People don't realize A320 is wider than B737... that extra close to 1" extra width per seat does make a difference.

Nothing new or special. It's wider that a 757. Don't the YYZ-LIS a few times. I like it. Not that long of a flight and in terms of comfort, seats are actually wider that on a 9-across 787, or 10-across 777. Do more comfort there. I'm not one to get up and wonder about the plane so I don't care about the single aisle. Besides, smaller plane = less passengers.

Thank you for your feedback! Glad you found it informational. We absolutely loved our flight from JFK to LIS but on the way back got hit with 3 hour delay on the tarmac and the food wasn’t good. Either way, we love TAP and for the price, will take a narrow body on transatlantic :)
