TAP Air Portugal Introduces Economy Prime, now on Sale

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 this cabin is now available for sale across all TAP channels and travel agents.

Economy Prime expands TAP’s long‑haul offer giving travellers 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. 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 personalised 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.  With the launch of Economy Prime, TAP Air Portugal joins a growing number of airlines redefining the Economy experience through differentiated products that combine comfort, well‑being and value. This new cabin strengthens TAP’s competitive positioning and reflects the airline’s continued commitment to placing the Customer at the centre of its strategy.

TAP Air Portugal currently flies from London Heathrow, London Gatwick and Manchester airport in the UK and from Dublin in Ireland to Lisbon and Porto with onward connections to Brazil, Africa, Madeira, Azores, the USA and Canada.  TAP has a stop over programme allowing passengers to stop in either Lisbon or Porto on long haul journeys for up to 7 days for no additional air fare.
