NEWARK TO PORTO, PORTUGAL
TAP Portugal, in business for 60 years, flies to 46 destinations in 27 countries around the world. They have 47 planes, and use a widebody Airbus A310 on their new Newark to Porto route which began in June. There are two classes of service: Economy and Top Executive (business class). The seats in Top Executive fully recline on a slope and have plenty of legroom. I’m not sure how new they were, though, because the volume on the armrest was a dial like in the old days. I was surprised the flight attendants didn’t offer individual DVD players to me or the other Top Executive Class passengers (as they claim they do on their website). However, I did not want to watch a movie. I worked on my laptop using the electrical outlet in my seat.

NO PICS ON TAP
I got off to a bad start with the flight attendant, because when I first sat down I took a picture. He came over and said, "no pictures allowed on the plane." I thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. Have you ever heard of such a stupid thing? I reverted to sneaking pictures (not using a flash) so I could share my experiences with you.
