Hi! You're right. They're very similar but actually different. Aboard 339 the C seat is Recaro CL6710 while aboard A21N the seats are Thompson Aero Vantage. I'll preform a correction note in the description. Thank you for your help. Greetings
Hi, Thankfully we flew through turbulence areas just twice: the first while climbing over New York area and then, ER, over northern Canada. In the second part of the flight in particular there was no significant weather. Coming to your question: In theory, yes, the smaller is an aircraft, the more it could be unsteady while crossing turbulence areas. But in this particular case, I mean the strong tailwind and the stormy areas over US and Canada, I don't think flying aboard an A380 or a B747 would have made any difference We would have experienced roughly about the same turbulence. Thanks for your comment. Greetings!
I try to convince myself if I can fly this plane. Perhaps on 4h flight.. but over Atlantic I don't think so.. too "narrow" for me. I think I wouldn't feel comfortable on long flight in this plane. I think there are even less WC per passenger? I like the views from the plane, I don't mind turbulence... but I don't like to small/narrow planes. Now because of those Airbus narrow wide body planes I have to spent much more time to find wide body plane over Atlantic.. not to mention often pay more...
Thank you for your interesting comment. I think the issue you raised is going to take up a serious space in the civil aviaiton industry. As an aviation enthusiast I don't count. I like to test all the new aircrafts and all the innovations in civil aviation market. But seeing through a normal passenger eyes things are very different. A good test in this flight was listening to my wife's opinion and she agrees the A321LR comfort standards aren't equal to a wide body. This time we were travelling in the "premium seats" area and the flight was 5H 50M long, that means such a FCO-AUH. But, if I was a normal passenger, I don't know if I would happily fly aboard a 321XLR thinking of a standard economy arrangement in a 8/9 hours flight. Then we all have to wait and see the actual result of this new "narrow body/long haul" formula and how large the diffusion of the "narrows LR/XLR" will actually be. My opinion is that we'll be still able to easily choose a wide-body for our long haul flights in the future. Maybe we'll be compelled to choose a "hub and spokes mode" journey instead of a "point to point" but nothing more. Greetings and once again tahnk you for your comment!
Hi, she didn't any mistake. Basicly you should be right: the difference between US and Portugal is normally 5 h. But not all year long. In fact in the US the daylight time is on since the second sunday of March while in EU we turn into daylight time just at the last week end of March. During those two weeks Portugal timezone is still WET (UTC + 0) while in NYC they already have EDT (UTC-4). Then Portugal is just 4 hours haead of NYC in this short timeframe. Thank you for your comment! Greetings from Italy

Business class seats in A339 are different.
The ones in that A321LR are same like in TAPs older A332 (I think they have 2 ones left)

Did using the A321N rather than a wide body possibly a factor contributing to the insane turbulence during the whole journey?

Flight attendant made a mistake, Portugal is 5 hours ahead of New York, or even the East coast of the USA, not 4 hours ahead lol.

@TheNextFlight right, that's true during daylight savings time. I forgot about that lol. Your welcome!

Thank you so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed.

Is Portuguese close to Spanish
Hi! Yes it is close to Spanish and to italian even more.
Greetings
Portuguese is close to Spanish the most
What languages do you speak because I know English and Spanish
Hi!
My mother tongue is Italian.
Then I speak English and Portuguese.
When I hear people speak Portuguese, it sounds almost like Spanish
I’m learning Portuguese
