TAP Air Portugal Sets Summer 2026 Premium Economy Launch With 'Neighbor‑Free' Seats

The 12-seat section uses front economy rows with adjacent seats blocked to offer priority services alongside an upgraded meal service.

Overview

  • Long-haul A330neo and A321LR flights will feature 12 seats in a four-per-row layout positioned immediately behind business class.
  • The product sells a neighbor-free seat in the first economy rows rather than introducing new premium-economy seat hardware.
  • Airport perks include premium check-in, fast-track security, priority boarding and priority baggage handling.
  • Onboard service adds a premium main meal with two hot choices and pre-selection up to 24 hours before departure, plus an amenity kit, premium pillow and enhanced headphones.
  • Tickets earn bonus Miles&Go miles and offer flexible rebooking and refunds, with broad availability expected on U.S. routes operated by these aircraft.
