Hehe, was excellent food. And food in Lisboa as well. Had a delicious Bacalao in a small cozy restaurant 🇵🇹🇵🇹

Thank you! Would love to try Finnair one day!

I mention this in the trip report, that from 1 of september this year, TAP will offer the OSL lounge, and not the SAS lounge. This flight was in august. I show the OSL lounge in some of my other trip reports.

@ Thank you for your information! Can I ask does OSL lounge have shower facilities?

Unfortunately I do not think there are showers there, only in some of the SAS lounges.

Thank you the nice feedback and the correction, you are completely right! Great to hear, you are in for a treat. Food is delicious on flights departing Madrid! Would be awesome to hear back from you after the flight how it was!

It was very nice! Would love to try Ethiopian one day!

Ojalá, sería estupendo y algo increíble. Pero lamentablemente no creo que suceda. En Europa la clase business seguirá siendo así durante mucho tiempo. Sin embargo hay varias rutas donde operan aviones de fuselaje ancho: Iberia Madrid-Londres A350 Air Europa Madrid-Barcelona, Madrid-Las Palmas y Madrid-Amsterdam B787 Finnair Helsinki-Londres, Helsinki-Amsterdam y Helsinki-Las Palmas A350 Ethiopian opera varias rutas en Europa con el B787 Singapore Airlines Milán-Barcelona A350

You are correct, thank you for the info!

Oui, je suis d’accord. Pour nous c’etait une experience tres bonne! En fait on a envie de aller avec eux «long haul» un jour aussi! ✈️

We always give honest review, and our experience with TAP was really good. I have read that both Air France KLM and Lufthansa Group are interested in aquiring ownership in TAP, so we will see :)

Muchísimas gracias! Es un avión que me ha gustado mucho, a ver si lo introduce LATAM o SKY tmb :) Viva Chile!!

Muito obrigado, did not know that! ✈️

Oh I did not know that, it was an amazing approach with a lot of things to spot. Will definetely visit that place next time in Lisboa, such a beautiful city!

Have flown TAP some times and not had a bad experience. But LIS is very chaotic yes, and the Iberia lounge is much better. Normally I fly from Madrid, often with Iberia which I love!

Iberia? Get lost! Terrible service onbord and at Barajas.

Lisboa airport is at its limits , that's why they are going to build a new airport . TAP has the best reviews , on short and long flights . Cheers !

@ Lisbon’s next airport will be in Spain! LOL TAP’s lounge is crowded and awful. They have no awards and onboard service is poor in case you have a connecting flight you’d better pray hahah

@@JB-sg7rb Iberia has almost 4,5 stars skytrax 🤷🏻‍♂️

I agree with you. The crew seem to love their job, service was amazing. On this flight business was actually cheaper than economy, so could not say no to that 😁

Thank you for the interesting fact, did not know that. Definetely want to try then long haul too!

UAUUUUUU A COMECAR PELO A319

Yes, especially when you can sit and watch planes land! ✈️ Love Brazil and specially a good feijoada! 🇧🇷😍

I love Norwegian air shuttle! Them is my favoritt

Este video lo grabé en el mes de agosto. Sueles ir a la terraza de spotters?

Ja det tror jeg. Cargo flyene lander ofte på den rullebanen, da det er nærmest til hvor de parkerer. Men man kan aldri være helt sikker.

Awesome! I’ll be heading down in february myself, not sure which airline yet. But either way you will enjoy both LATAM and Iberia! You will also experience Lima’s brand new airport, which opens january 28th!

Eso! 🇪🇸 Y además de eso brinda una buena imagen de la deliciosa gastronomía que tenemos!

Thank you!! / Muchas gracias!!

There are 3 toilets in economy and 1 in business on this aircraft. Still more passengers per toilet though

Evidently you didn't experience transatlantic jet travel in the 1960s, when all aircraft were single aisle. That was supposedly the "golden age of air travel". Personally I would have no issue with flying long haul on the A321XLR. It looks very comfortable and no doubt the fares in relative terms are a fraction of what they were in the 1960s.

I agree with you, but it was pretty comfortable :)

Perhaps I should have said "in the western hemisphere". Iberia is catered by Do Co, which provides really delicious food. I have been flying on a regular basis since I was 5 years old, which has made me a fanatic of aviation and flying. If an airplane is comfortable, I don't mind spending many hours in it, and in many ways it is the highlight of all my travels. The seat on this airplane was fantastic, so I enjoyed the ride. All my flights are 100% financed by myself, so this is absolutely no commercial video, just my views, opinion and experience.

One of the best foods in the skies ???Are you crazy?☝️

I will always prefer a widebody on any route for the thrill of it, but the business seat on this one was great, did not feel cramped at all!

Iberia representa muy bien a nuestra querida España! 🇪🇸

Cool!

So nice of you, Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, you are right about that. That is a certain drawback with a single aisle aircraft on longer trips. Thanks for mentioning it, it had not crossed my mind.

Thanks a lot! ✈️✈️

You're not going to see any a321xlr in russia airspace anytime soon haha

@@Abc0-t4t Well, that's fine. And you may see the "Sarmat" intercontinental missile soon haha

Probably yes. So recommend you to place 0,4 kg in your carry-on luggage :)

@ Thank you

Iberia is not an economic airlaine. Is one of the more important and old airlaines of the world. Yanki ignorant.

Yes the name is cool, it means it goes easier on the oil 😁 This plane could reach great parts of the US (not the west coast), as well as Cuba, Republica Dominicana, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, parts of Colombia and Brazil. But this plane was actually intended for Aer Lingus, which is closer to the US and probably have less passenger demand. Due to agreements between pilots and unions, it was finally given to Iberia so they will make the best of it. I fly European business quite a lot, and actually like it, despite the regular seat you get. Would of course prefer a real business class seat. And I do believe there is a market for it. Every time I fly business in Europe, the business class is full. If you can have this product on a european flight of 3 hours +, I think many would pay 400 to 500 euros. And some even more. For the shorter european flights, there is no need for this luxury, although it would be nice 😁 This plane is fantastic, like its said in Spain, «es la hostia»

Tenerife - Stockholm is a route you can fly with a regular a321. Iberia should open new thinner transatlantic routes with the Xlr, Madrid - Boston is already served by Iberia's a330s. They should open new routes from other Spanish cities to the US, particularly during the summer months.

Yes it is truly amazing if the airlines open up new routes connecting together cities that would normally require a connection. The airplane is really comfortable, smooth and quiet!

​@@welcomeaboardHD Comfortable in business. Of course it is. What a statement is it this? Try 9 hours on a narrow body in economy. In wide body you can walk and stretch as long as you want to. Those who promote and defend small planes for 8-10 hours flights (where you can't walk, crew can't work and turbolences are much stronger) are the same criminals who defend the covid and enviromental madness etc etc. Just to get us back to the stone age. Instead of advancing we go backward. In everything.

you don't need a 3rd ACT to do transatlantic. The A321neo with 2 ACTs can also easily do those routes

TAP AIR Portugal has been flying for over a year with the Airbus 321/LR to Boston and Newark, but also to Washington and cities in the northeast of Brazil, I don't know what's new!?!

TAP Portugal has been flying to these destinations from Lisbon for almost two years with the A321/LR...what's the surprise!?!

I can assure you that the business class seat is really comfortable, you get a great sense of privacy. The economy seats offer the same space as on a widebody. But I’m with you, would choose a widebody all the way! Nothing like the thrill of feeling the powerful engines and the way the big birds lift their nose up!

It all depends on where you are flying from and to. It might be the case that this is a route that involves a stopover, in which case the A321XLR is potentially a game changer by offering a direct service.
