TAP Air Portugal introduces Economy Prime on long-haul routes
TAP Air Portugal announces the launch of Economy Prime, a new long haul cabin designed to offer customers more space, more privacy, and a superior travel experience within the Economy segment.
Flights featuring the new Economy Prime cabin will start on 1st June 2026, and the cabin is now available for sale across all TAP channels and travel agents.
Economy Prime expands TAP’s long haul offer giving travelers greater choice between Economy and Business and is available on both the A330 and A321LR fleets.
The new cabin responds to evolving travel trends by providing comfort, efficiency, and ample space, combined with a seamless customer journey.
Economy Prime cabin features 12 seats, located immediately behind Business Class, arranged in a four-seat-per-row configuration. Although no specific seat has been created for Economy Prime, with the side seat always left empty, this layout creates a quieter and more private environment, allowing passengers to enjoy a more relaxed and comfortable experience throughout the flight.
The Economy Prime experience begins even before boarding. Passengers benefit from premium airport services designed to make the journey faster, including Premium Check in, priority baggage handling, Fast Track security access and Premium Boarding. Together, these elements contribute to a smoother travel experience from start to finish, from arrival at the airport to destination.
On board, Economy Prime stands out for its personalized service and carefully selected details that elevate the travel experience. Passengers enjoy a premium main meal with two hot dish options, the possibility of pre selecting their meal up to 24 hours before departure, an amenity kit, and a premium pillow. Each element has been designed to provide greater comfort and a heightened sense of care.
Economy Prime also offers added value for frequent flyers seeking flexibility and additional benefits. This includes more flexible bonus miles and the ability to rebook, along with improved refund conditions, providing an attractive choice within the Economy segment.
The launch of Economy Prime strengthens TAP’s competitive positioning and reflects the airline’s continued commitment to placing the customer at the center of its strategy, even in the economy section of the cabin.
