In November 2018 TAP was the first airline in the world to fly the A330-900neo. It was also the first to fly the narrowbody A321LR across the Atlantic, between Porto and Newark in March 2019. With a long-haul network traditionally strong in Africa and South America, during 2019 TAP expanded considerably its North American portfolio of destinations, adding Washington, Chicago, San Francisco and Montreal. TAP doesn’t feature a Premium Economy cabin section on long range flights, but the first 12 rows of the Economy cabin on the A330-900 and the first 6 rows of the Economy cabin on the A321LR are called Xtra and offer 86cm (34”) of legroom (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Nicky Boogaard)
