TAP Air Portugal announces the launch of Economy Prime, a new long‑haul cabin designed to offer customers more space, additional privacy and a superior travel experience within the Economy segment. Flights featuring the new Economy Prime cabin start June 1, 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 travelers greater choice between Economy and Business. It’s 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.
The 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 arrival at the airport to the final destination.
Onboard, 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 travelers seeking flexibility and additional benefits. This includes earning more TAP Miles&Go miles, the ability to reschedule flights, and improved refund policies, making it an attractive option within the Economy class.
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.
