What's it Like to Fly on TAP Air Portugal A330neo?

I flew with TAP Air Portugal in their A330-900neo from San Francisco to Lisbon in early June. It was my first time flying with TAP and many had warned me that they didn't have a good reputation.

At San Francisco, there was no lounge open at the international terminal. I visited an empty ghost lounge prior to boarding. Onboard TAP, I explored the seat products in both Business and Economy Class. The plane was new and the cabin was fresh. The pilots gave me a great welcome and explained the features of A330neo.

After take-off, drinks and dinner were served. I then slept for 4 hours in the new Business Class seat. The seat, although narrow, is long enough for my height (6'1”). After sunrise, passengers were greeted to a scenic arrival into Lisbon International. Most of the passengers were in transit through Lisbon.

At the end of the video, I gave my remarks on flying TAP. I think TAP has some of the best airfares for Trans-Atlantic, if you purchase in advance. Therefore, one of the cheapest full-service airlines in both Economy and Business Class.

TAP is undervalued, it is one of the safest airlines in Europe and its pilots have always been among the best in the world. Only the experience of landing B-727 on the very dangerous and ultra short old runway of Island of Madeira or Azores in the 70s, shows the greatness of its pilots. I have been using TAP for almost four decades and can only say positive things about this company. I admire the high level of its pilots and the airplanes safety and control, great technicals and engineers. I know about TAP, because this airline travel to Venezuela (my country) since April 1976.

I'm Portuguese and I've travelled many short and long-haul flights with different airlines and I can confirm that TAP is one of the best and with a good value for money compared to other European airlines. And I really like it how they've divided the economy so it suits everyones needs and wants.

Not to mention that TAP has one of the best safety track records in the world.

Captain Venâncio is the “creme the la creme” of portuguese pilots! You were lucky having him on the flight, always ads that personal touch and is very welcoming. Same goes for the majority of course but there’s always those special persons, and TAP is full of them. Thanks Sam! Enjoy your time in Portugal and thanks for flying TAP.

You had the lucky to fly with captain Pedro Venâncio, one of the best TAP assets ever! Please take a look on his Flight of Hope project distributing school material all over Africa, over the most dificult and remote areas! An honour for me to know him.
TAP has the best pilots!

I flew TAP from Duesseldorf to Lisabon to San Francisco in February 2019 economy enjoyed food and my window seat of course Port Wine is my favorute. What I liked most is TAP allowed 2 nights 3 days stay in Lisabon I went around the city churches I lived in Brazil so spoke in Portuguese .. Ate lots of Sardines . beautiful city. Traveling in trams going up and down old town Lisbon is a romantic experience. I note copiolot in your tap from SFO to Lisbon was bush pilot in Mozambique .. I was in Maputo couple if months on in assignment ...I love Portugal and its culture language food and port wine. If I travel again to SFO it will be with TAP.

Love TAP. Even left Air France's Skyteam for Star Alliance. It's not perfect but flew all around the world for the last 8 years in TAP.

I've flown on the A330ceo and A330neo many times with TAP, from Lisbon through to several cities in Brazil, and I think they are one of the better airlines in Europe. Friendly crew, good food and no issues. And as you say, their fares are value for money. I have also used seat 9A, in fact I've booked it more than once, and I really like the room it gives you, and the window wasn't a problem for me.
