I flew twice on a United Airlines 777-200 many years ago (it was not even a -200ER yet, it was an original series -200), and at that time it was configured 2-5-2. Luckily I was in a 2-seat group on the first flight and in an aisle seat in a 5-seat group on the second flight (I can't sleep on planes anyway, so giving way to people that had to go to the toilet wasn't a big deal for me), but I can imagine that sitting in the middle of a 5-seat group was terrible. I also flew three times on old Air France 747s configured 3-5-3 (yes, 11 seats per row!), and fortunately I never got a middle seat, but it was probably even worse.

I know this is an old comment, but for those who do have connections, I personally try to leave 3 hours whenever possible, as in some cases, you may have to go get your bags and re-check them on your connection, plus this gives you some leeway if the initial (first) flight is delayed, which can happen especially with international flights from what I've seen / been told. So I would try to leave 3 hours at a minimum and probably more like 4-5 just to be safe, unless you have alternative means if you do miss your connection. But again, factor in time for dealing with checked baggage if applicable, and if you are required to do anything else (like go through customs) upon arrival (which is not always the case if you're just transferring through a country but not leaving the secure area of the terminal).

The answer might be far simpler: the A330's default 2-4-2 seat layout. It gives you roughly 2.5 to 3 cm extra width for your shoulder to relax without bumping someone next to you. I think travelers always take seat width for granted until they suffer the squeeze of Boeing 737 seats being fitted into long haulers. I flew Thai dated A330-300, didn't particularly felt amazing, but that's decent enough I guess. I flew Garuda's A330-900, felt not too different, but refreshing nonetheless. Boeing widebody operators like ANA fill its 787 with 3-3-3 economy seat layout, giving you 737 seat width for the entire long hours. While ANA compensate you with generous 34" pitch, the same can't be said with China Airlines' 777-300ER with its dreadful 3-4-3 layout. Sitting in the middle, the armrest claim won't give you any extra comfort, since you'll bump shoulders. Someone next to you tries to reach for their pocket, adjusting their seat belts, touching the IFE screen or moving the controllers, you'll feel their shoulders moving about. Sitting next to the aisle will give you repeated galley cart bumps. Why do Boeing operators need these extra 20-30 seats? Are Boeing planes has some efficiency deficit that it desperately tries to address? Kudos to TAP for sticking to standard 2-4-2 layout.

No, is because they add extra money to the airlines. By adding more seat, mean you can push the machine as it's maximum to get the more of it. The 777 and 787 are very wide of fuselage.

Tried their basic, flex economy as well as their business class and all offered great service within their remit. Would like to try them on longhaul flights. Last time I did so was on their old & outdated (even for that time) A310 in 2006. As always, great review, guys!

This video illustrates the difference between longhaul in a narrowbody vs. widebody. On a widebody, the aircraft can carry more food options so they're less likely to run out of your meal choice. The aircraft also feels more comfortable in the air, especially with regards to turbulence. I flew this same route in January on an A321neo, and I definitely wouldn't describe the service as phenomenal. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It was average. By the time the service reaches the rear of the aircraft, you're stuck with whatever they have left, and if you're a vegetarian, forget about it. TAP is not a low cost carrier. It's more of a hybrid, legacy in most ways with some low cost habits.

I'm not one of those guys who request flight reviews as if you were solely at our service and had unlimited funds and availability to fly wherever you want at any time, but I have a good reason to suggest you to try one of TAP's routes to Brazil (where due to the same language and many cultural and economic ties, TAP has an impressive market share on European routes and flies to 10 Brazilian destinations, which is unmatched by any other foreign airline). The reason is that most reviews of TAP I see on Brazilian routes are negative (sometimes catastrophic, even in business class), nowhere near the quality you experienced on this flight, and it seems that they concentrate their best efforts on North American routes. The comparison would be interesting to see. (Their only other South American destination is, surprisingly, Caracas, which is basically off-limits to most travelers these days, for sadly obvious reasons.)

Interesting insight. And makes sense too. On the other hand l would have thought the Brazilian routes would command better service, but then, as you mention, it is east to take that route monopoly for granted. Caracas well, whoever is familiar with the situation in Venezuela, will know it is simply a utilitarian route nowadays.

@@thegospelaccordingtoant-an1379, it is not totally a monopoly because two Brazilian airlines fly to Portugal: LATAM Brazil flies São Paulo-Lisbon on the 787-9, and Azul flies from Campinas (near São Paulo) to Lisbon on A330s of various series. But TAP flies from Lisbon to 11 Brazilian airports (I had said 10 above, but I forgot one): São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Salvador, Recife, and Fortaleza on A330s (various series), and to Belém, Natal, and Maceió on the A321LR. All these flights are nonstop (except Maceió, via Natal) and are flown at least 4 times a week (São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are daily). Additionally, TAP flies from Porto nonstop to São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro on A330s. So, the competition with Brazilian airlines is disproportionate. TAP also has an impressive European network, so it offers easy connections to destinations throughout Europe, with the added convenience of people speaking Portuguese on board both flights and at the connecting airport. This can be significant: for example, recently I saw a video by a Brazilian lady who lives in Norway, was having a baby, and paid the ticket for her sister to fly from Brazil and help her during the birth and after-birth phase. Her sister doesn't speak a word of any foreign language, only Portuguese, and had never even traveled by plane, let alone internationally, so TAP was really the only option for her. Add competitive fares and you have a recipe for success. But the service is reported to be inconsistent at best, terrible at worst. As for Caracas, in addition to the currently low passenger loads and safety issues for resting crews, foreign airlines have pulled out of there en masse simply because they were unable to be paid in hard currency for the tickets they sold within Venezuela. And while there is a sizable community of Venezuelans with Portuguese ancestry, I doubt that it's enough to fill planes, especially at the moment, when very few of them can afford to travel. Most of the few foreign airlines that still serve Venezuela do so for political reasons (for example, Turkish Airlines flies from Istanbul because Venezuela is an ally of the Erdogan regime, but it's a money-bleeding route, while Venezuela's own Conviasa flies to Moscow, Damascus, and Tehran, but only to Madrid in Western Europe, and even then on planes wet-leased from Spanish charter airline Plus Ultra). I don't think Portugal has any political interest in Venezuela at the moment, so I don't understand what TAP is still doing there.

That is not a problem of the airline itself but also of the brazilian mindset, always complaining about everything. The aircrafts are the same, the crew is the same, only the prices are not the same of the US routes. That is because of the monopoly TAP does have flying to/from Brazil, as they do not need to get new passengers from other airlines, the price tag to/from Brazil is more expensive. But is also, most of the times, the only good airline brazilians have to be in any point of europe, or middle east, with only 2 flights. Otherwise they would have to travel from their city to a major one in Brazil (where other european airline flies to/from), there goes 1 flight, then the transatlantic one and finally the european. SO, with that being said, the price tag is a bit more high but it offers the same product, join that with the middle class brazilian mindset and that is why you have so many negative reviews.

Flew TP in biz class from LIS to MIA last year. Excellent plane and crew but dismal airport. If you are in coach be prepared have your hand luggage weighed at the gate and have to cough up EUR ??? for anything overweight. At least 25% of the coach passengers on our flight got dinged like that.

I've flown TAP in mutiple ocasions, the flights are always wonderful. However, they always manage to fuck it up as it comes to customer service and transfer flights and such. I've been waiting for almost 2 years now for my refund for seats i paid for a flight which got cancelled.

While their inflight product is great for the price. TAP was fined a million dollars from the DOT in the US as they intentionally delayed the processing of refunds to customers. Long story short. If your flight with them does not get canceled or rescheduled. You are in luck. but if it does and they don't have any suitable flights due to the limited flights offered and you want to get a refund. Good luck! It took me close to a year to get my money back.
