TAP Air Portugal seat reviews

Some years since I flew this route with TAP, BA, Air France and Iberia having offered better fares. Boarding at Lisbon was third world chaotic. The aircraft interior showed its age and was in need of serious refurbishment. The footrest was broken and the cover lying on the floor when I boarded, this an aircraft leaving its home operating and maintenance base. The seat cushion was non existent and I used the blanket as a cushion! In flight entertainment was of three decades ago and I doubt that the safety information that it was used for would satisfy today's legal requirements. However, the flight kept good time. The food was probably better than that on other airlines I have used. I would have appreciated the offer of a drink during the long night flight. Other airlines manage this much better. Altogether a forgetable experience. I hope that the flight back on a 332 is a better experience!

TAP have changed the configuration several years ago. They have 24/239 which means the pitch has been reduced from 32 to 30-31. The rows starts with 11 to 26 in the first economy cabin. I have traveled 12 times with this aircraft the last years and the config. is the same on all aircrafts.

I know the TAP A330 seatplan. The seatplan on this site does not reflect, the actual plan.
The last row is row 42. I was assigned to seat G. The pitch was awful, the known 33'pitch is actual around 30 or 31' I changed to seat 30D witch was a little more comfort. Seats on bulkhead are actual seats 28AB and HJ plus 27DEFG.

Seats 29 A,C,H & J don't exist

It was a great flight. I felt that the flight was an one hour flight, because the seat was really comfortable and I had many options of entertainment.
