TAP Air Portugal is the latest airline to embrace the trend for a Premium Economy class.

The airline has announced ‘Economy Prime’, a new long‑haul cabin designed to offer customers more space and additional privacy. Flights featuring the new travel class start June 1, with bookings open now, available on both the A330 and A321LR fleets.

This cabin features 12 seats, located immediately behind Business Class, arranged in a four-seat-per-row configuration but with the side seat always left empty.

Passengers also benefit from premium check‑in, priority baggage handling, fast track security access and premium boarding.

On board, passengers are served a premium main meal with two hot dish options, the possibility of pre‑selecting their meal up to 24 hours before departure. There’s also a wider selection of nick-nacks including an amenity kit and a pillow.
