Anyone used TAP airlines? Particularly Gatwick - Faro.
I've never used them personally, but you'll find several reviews on car survey.org.

I've tried to find out what benefits, if any, this choice would give us, but so far to no avail.
Can anyone please assist us?
Many thanks!
mrtiggles,
I tried looking at websites such as seatguru.com and the like , and there appear to be sugesstions that Business Class seating has around a 46'' seat pitch! Is this correct?
Any TAP Airline personnel or business class folk out there who might be able to shed some light on this please?
The booked aircraft type is apparently an Airbus 320 - Industrie.
LGW-FNC-LGW is the journey.
Thanks!
The A320's are configured 3-3 throughout, bu the executive class seats are flexible and adjusted to demand. Seat pitch in executive class on short haul flights isn't 46", there wouldn't be enough room for 42 of them as well as 114 economy seats! I beleive it's flexible (probably why there's no figures quoted) with anything from 32" (high density) to 38-40", with the executive class benefits.

I flew with them between Lisbon & Gatwick last year on an A320. They were OK but nothing special. Seat pitch like any other A320 operator in economy. IFE but rather dull. A small cold roll with meat for a snack. Crew indifferent. Had flown out with Monarch which I thought was better.
On the Gatwick -Funchal flight the legroom is exactly the same in business and economy. The only difference is they don't use the middle seat. I find the legroom to be fine. Hope this helps.
I have read some alarming reviews elsewhere but TAP did offer me a good fare on this sector so wondered if their 'stats' stacked up any more favourably!!
Thanks
- Since my last post ive flown with them twice more and flying with them out of LHR on the 6th Sep. to Lisbon.
- The meal is average, however a redeaming feature is that all drinks are still free (unlike many ex-full service!)
- The seating is always (A319, A320) 3x3 inc. business class.
- Seat pitch 32" (Business/Econ)
- Business class (A319, A320) do not use the middle seat (this becomes a drinks table).
- The highlight of travelling with TAP has to be the typically friendly nature of their cabin crew, who in true Portugese style make nothing too much trouble.
Happy Flying
