Great video. I enjoy flying TAP and found this aircraft quite comfortable on trans Atlantic flights. I especially like TAP’s generally lower fares and I enjoy their catering although I recognize not everyone might enjoy Portuguese dishes. Thanks.
Question, we are going to be flying from the states to Lisbon in business class. We will have a long layover in Lisbon. Does business class automatically allow you to use TAPs lounge?
Jetblue didnt even exist, TAP Was already an international carrier with a wide longhaul network. Jetblue is a newbie baby and a lowcost carrier. TAP is a legacy carrier with many years of history. Its not the same league.
I have just flown business class with TAP from Lisbon Portugal to Miami 12th March, I enjoyed the flight nice leg room flat beds, Staff friendly but not as attentive as BA Staff, No champagne while flight was boarding, Took at least 45 mins before any interaction with a staff member, which was still limited We are flying TAP buisness back to Lisbon which is a night flight so will just sleep, Food I felt was disappointing, But over all enjoyed the flight,
Jonny! Please keep the vids coming, love m! Question, how did you know that they switched the plane last minute? Or did you already have the trip booked and you just saw it yourself on the website?
Highly doubt this will be the regular aircraft for inter-European flights, just a lucky last minute equipment swap. But glad to see the lounge expanded. It’s always been an overcrowded disaster saved (if you’re lucky to get him) by an inventive bar tender!
They use this plane on domestic flights to some Portuguese islands (Funchal in Madeira and Ponta Delgada in São Miguel) on a regular basys. Even to Porto wich is just 277 km from Lisbon.
I’m a sucker for a throne seat. Great to see that on a narrow body! Nice report. Looks like out of Miami (nearest American airport TAP serves ) it’s the a330neo. Is that the same hard product you reviewed a few years back? The Recaro?
The same plane in intercontinental/longhaul flights has much better phones for business class. In this intraeuropean flight they gave him the simple earplug phones in business class, wich are the same they give in economy for intercontinental flights.

It's a great affordable option across the Atlantic for sure! Thanks for the wonderful comment!
This video was as gorgeous as you are !!!
Great video. There are so many trip reports around, but it is quite a game changer that yours are focussed so much on design. I love it. Thank you !
That's really kind of you to notice! Keep on watching!

It certainly does!
I Have Experience TAP Air Portugal A321neo LR Porto- New York In Business.Great Trip Report
Did you enjoy the experience? Do let me know! Thanks for the nice comment!
Yes i enjoy the experience@@thedesignairvideo
This is just like how JetBlue expanded internationally. Always room for improvement.
Indeed, it's a good starting point for sure!

Great video, very professional!
Glad you liked it! Hope you've subscribed!
Hi even better then Turkish Airlines a321neo business class seats 👍
It sure is! But sadly this isn't on every aircraft, and Turkish does give you a better seat most of the time!
This isnt really a 'european' business class,as it is intended for long haul routes-------you were just lucky to get it!
Nice report!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Very welcome @@thedesignairvideo

The 330 has the same 321 neolr interior. TAP,serves Miami,New York (EWR/JFK) Boston,Chicago and San Francisco.

Is it a 3hours flight a short flight?!
I guess it’s all comparative, but for me that’s short 🤣
Considering long haul intercontinental flights can be as long as 18 hours long, 3 hours is short in comparison.
3 hours it is a short flight 😊
I hate these narrow body aircraft’s when traveling more than 3 hours.
That's what seat upgrades are for.
Brits should stay in the UK
