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.

    Nothing is perfect and there is a lot to improve, especially the service. But ask any Portuguese in which company he trusts the most, in the hands of which company he puts his life, and I'm sure they will all give the same answer. When it comes to safety, I'm not just talking about the high quality of the pilots, the fact that the planes are new, but also the high level of maintenance, an aspect that is often not visible to the public. We can discuss the efficiency of the onboard service, but I think you will hardly find anyone who complains about the friendliness of the staff or the quality of what is served on board. I travel with numerous companies around the world, I would place TAP in the first place in safety and in the top 5 for friendliness and quality of the products served. TAP's problem is being a flag carrier of a country with little economic weight in the world context, even so it's not bad to enjoy a secret that few know

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.

    Sam, TP Air 🇵🇹 has its problems with Customer Service, and flight delays being the worst for me. However, for safety and onboard service, it is quite a good carrier. Their pilots are TOP notch. Their safety record is stellar, despite one very fatal accident, the ONLY one, back in 1977 and in the Island of Madeira, where you are heading. That airport scares the crap out of me, and TP's pilots best manage to land there, but all with special FNC training. If you ask me to choose safetywise TP is awesome. Their onboard meals are quite nice, plus free drinks. The crews, not always the best, but not horrible either. It's the flight delays and horrible customer service that kills an otherwise quite good airline.

    Yeah, it’s only the airline with the best safety record overall, precisely because it serves Madeira airport, one of the trickiest in the world. Landing anywhere else is just a piece of cake for TAP pilots. As for maintenance, it is second to none, I happen to know a guy who works there and they are highly coveted in the industry (in fact, they do all sorts of commissions for other airlines while on vacation).
    It isn’t surprising in the least that the food and drinks are the highlight, we really take great pride on both our recipes and supplies…
    Yep, TAP was indeed hit very hard by the pandemic, and we’re the ones taking the brunt of those losses through our taxes, but it will be for a good cause. Their refocusing on the transatlantic market is obvious and inevitable, if you consider the onslaught of pan-European low-cost airlines - even compared with TAP, you can get flights for less than $100, and sometimes as low as $50 - like Ryanair or EasyJet and the serious push our current government is making on rail infrastructure as a potential alternative for domestic continental flights (TAP being otherwise an essential tool in territorial and economic cohesion, considering it has to serve two Portuguese archipelagos no matter what, but let’s just say flights from Lisbon to Porto will eventually become a frivolous proposition).
    By the way, it’s funny that you should mention the similarities between 25 de Abril Bridge and the Golden Gate Bridge… Actually, its literal sister is not that one, but it is also in San Francisco, the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. Both were designed and built by the same company, and you can see they are structurally very similar, with their cross-bracing on the main pillars, despite their different colours. Ours has a distinctive feature, however: the lower deck was fitted with a double-track railway, decades after the bridge opened for traffic, and as such, the bridge required a second set of suspension cables (because the double-decker EMU rolling stock which now runs through it is much heavier than train cars and locos from the 1960s, back when it was designed), an approach which now makes it completely unique in its class.

    TAP is great but often underrated. The culture of the company like the culture of its country in understated - if one gets that one enjoys more of it.

I wasn’t even considering TAP airlines since they seemed so discount, I equated that to discount in safety as well but after seeing this video and reading the comments on their safety record I definitely plan to give them a go. Especially since I love going business and normally it’s so expensive. Wow great video.

    Tap is my favorite Airline when i go to Belo Horizonte (Brazil)! the economy extra have a more legroom and more recline for free sometimes and the configuration 2-4-2 is unbeatable on a long haul. All other airline use airplanes more big whit a configuration 3-4-3. Morever, starting from lisbon the flight takes about 2 Hours less then Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome ecc.. and the price is almost always Lower and finally also allows me not to make a stopover in Sao Paolo or Rio De Janeiro so w TAP!
