"Seats are very uncomfortable"

(Switzerland)

Trip Verified | Absolutely disgusting flight with TAP Portugal business class from Warsaw to Lisbon. They put a charter plane rented from Get Jet which is a low cost airline experience. The seat even in the front row (business class) is extremely cramped with no legroom whatsoever. Seats are very uncomfortable and just not worthy of any business class fare.

"The seat was so uncomfortable"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I like to check seat maps and reviews before booking my flights. In case of my Toronto to Lisbon flight with TAP Portugal, I was unable to find any seat reviews online for this aircraft. I paid a significant premium to select 12F, an exit row window seat. This was an overnight flight, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to sleep. Unfortunately, the seat was extremely narrow, hard, width-restricted by those fixed armrests that you typically only see at bulkhead seats and also missing an armrest on the fuselage side. Also, it was surprising that the person in 11F was able to recline their seat. Exit Rows are not supposed to be able to be reclined into. There was also a very cold draft coming from the fuselage. The seat was so uncomfortable, that I spent the last 2 hours of the flight sitting on the floor and using my winter jacket to cover myself. Granted this was only possible because I had the exit-row legroom. In summary, selecting an exit row window seat on a a Tap Portugal A321Neo-LR is not wise and it is definitely not worth the premium price-tag they place on it.

"experience is pretty awful"

(Switzerland)

Trip Verified | The TAP experience is pretty awful. The problems started at JFK. TAP does not have any lounge for the business class or M&M Senators there. Then after arriving Lisbon, this airport shown how badly it's managed, lines everywhere, I had to wait 15mins to access the lounge. The flight to Zurich was delayed by almost 3hrs. Firstly due to technical issue with the machine pushing out the plane from the gate, then next delay was announced due to French strike. For the whole time we sit in the hot plane. They offered a single glass of water.

"with more leg room"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | On my flight from Manchester to Lisbon I paid for the comfort Economy seat. Picked seat 4F. The comfort Economy seats are nicer and with more leg room. There is a hold for iPad which is very handy as well and a USB charger. Makes a difference on a 2.5h flight.

"Just really awful"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | This is an airline that does the absolute least for their customers. Poor website, confusing check in, surly disinterested staff, terrible meals, very poor entertainment, no leg room. Just really awful.

"basically have no legroom"

(Portugal)

Trip Verified | I flew with their A320, on seat 14A, where you basically have no legroom, just behind emergency exits. The passengers in front of me reclined their seats as soon as we took off and I was squeezed the entire flight. The leather of the seats appeared extremely degraded and the plane in general seemed very old and lacking cleaning.

"No inflight entertainment"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | No inflight entertainment on long flights. Not clear on their website. Even if you have a smartphone or pad, and there is no where to charge your phone. Everything about the experience this airline offers is deceptive and poor. Staff really don't care about the service or customers.

"Seat is narrow, uncomfortable"

(Portugal)

Trip Verified | A business class seat from Lisbon to Munich is in fact a economy class seat, only difference between economy class and business class was the centre seat was left free. Seat is narrow, uncomfortable, seat cushion worn flat, no legroom, NO recline . A very uncomfortable experience resulting in chronic backache for 5 days in Munich. Had to face the same on return. This is none other than a standard economy seat in an economy section of the aircraft divided from economy by a curtain. Leg room (pitch) is same as economy. To sell it as anything else is nothing but dishonest.

"narrow, uncomfortable, no legroom"

(Switzerland)

Verified Review | This was, in fact, supposed to be a business class seat from Lisbon to Accra. However, in fact, it was a short-haul economy class seat: narrow, uncomfortable, no legroom, minimal recline (10°?). Also no films or music. Not even a complimentary newspaper. A miserable experience for a daytime flight lasting 5.5 hours and a nightmare for a nighttime flight. This is an economy seat in an economy section of the aircraft. To sell it as anything else is dishonest.

"no seat back tv screens"

(Australia)

The aircraft was modern. There were no seat back tv screens, but they had some sitcom playing on small overhead screens. Toilets were modern. They didn't have a tap, instead they had hand sanitizer and moist towels.
