TAP Air Portugal is in the process of refreshing their longhaul fleet in two ways:

I believe you mean they will start flying to Miami as of 01MAR2019 instead of 2018.
"The route will continue to be served by other versions of the A330s two days per week, but it looks like a majority of the service will be offered with A330-900neos."
My LIS-MIA flight on April 3rd shows an A340, so I guess you can add that to the other versions of A330.
A casual search shows TAP doing LIS-JFK (TP209) in early November 2019. No aircraft type shown, but I would assume new A339.
You missed outlining the SFO route
@turgutbey They are selling seats on that flight for next summer.
Huge Portuguese community in Newark. Can't wait to fly this. I might actually pay for my dad to fly it in business class. He's too damn cheap to pay for it himself.
Flying LIS-SFO in J in late August. Fingers crossed there’s no equipment swap. As of now, seats selected via TAP’s website show the new configuration. Here’s hoping it holds.
Booked award tickets (via aeroplan) for SFO-LIS-SFO in August for the whole family. Taxes are close to nothing so great deal!
I thought the ex-Azul A330s were their first planes with fully flat business class seats with direct aisle access?
Is anyone having trouble seeing TAP award space on United website? Searched a couple of routes and can't find a single seat; find it odd that over several months there are none.
Note that those "very cheap" business class fares ex-Europe mostly involve an overnight stay at LIS, along with (presumably) leaving the airport, staying in a hotel and then returning the next morning.
For some, that extra hassle out-weighs the cheap fare, since it means the total travel time approaches 24 hours, at least to SFO.
That said I am booked on the first flight, out of Dublin which has similar fares to CPN.
@Rui N: I searched/booked via Aeroplan. I've found UA's site to be less and less accurate for *A searches. Unsure if that's just a glitch or if United is actively-but-passively trying to dissuade folks from using other, better, cheaper award currencies/airlines. I'd normally quote Hanlon's razor, but this is UA we're talking about...
Those business seats (pictured) don't look remotely lie-flat! Am I right, or a photography snafu?
booked to fly TAP business class on 9/10 SFO to MUC with a 5 day layover in Lisbon. Looking forward to experiencing the new business class on A330-900neo. Was at SFO int'l last Friday, and they don't have the TAP signage at the departure up yet (makes sense since SFO-LIS service won't start until June 10th).
So anyone know if you're booking TAP through United's website where they list the equipment as a 339 - is that the new A300 NEO? It's flight TP218. Flying Oct 1.
I have the same question. Why my reservation from MIA to LIS shows 339 as an equipment? What plane is it?
Just booked a Milano MXP - Chicago ORD (via LIS) on A339neo on 8th-13th Apr 2020. Hope will be true..and I will pray about this.
i have booked ORD - LIS for next summer on biz class for a family of four. i was aiming to get the ODD rows to have 2 sets of honeymoon seats. They put me in middle of row 2 and row 3 and told me that one of the rows swivels so that we can all talk and be in a half moon. I was not able to confirm this when i looked it up on various sites and am tempted to go back to the 2 odd rows with honeymoon seats?
- Do they have seats that swivel to face another row? (never heard of this)
- what is best choice for seats if traveling with four?
any help is appreciated
I just booked a first class flight from Lisbom to Boston but seems the plane is the A321 and not the new A330. Anyone now why this is?
