Star Alliance - eVoucher intra-Europe: use on TAP or LH?

Hi folks. If you'd have to choose between upgrading GVA - OPO (2h:15 operated by TAP) or MAD - FRA (2h:45 operated by LH), which would you choose? Typically I would think MAD - FRA, because it is longer. But then, LH's economy is not entirely bad (there is decent supply of food and drinks at least) whereas I imagine TAP to be much worse (is it?). Any opinions?

On TAP economy, get complementary food and drinks like in LH and usually a good service with OPO based crews. I find that TAP's seats are more comfortable than LH's NEK, even though they have less legroom. Service in executive is similar on both airlines, except that TAP features 2+3 seating.

If you're traveling GVA-OPO between now and September, you'd probably make the most out of your voucher. It's usually a very busy period on that route, and 100% loads in economy are not rare. If you're traveling some other time, you'd be better off redeeming on MAD-FRA as it's a longer flight.

I think both airlines has middle seat open in regular 3/3 seating.
