TAP A340 and PGA E145 in C: seat assignment and seating questions

I wondered whether FTers could help me with any of these:

1) How far in advance can you get seat assignments on TAP long-haul C and Portugalia (PGA) intra-European C, if at all?

2) With the A340, is there anything to choose among the seats or is it all the more or less the same (2 pax traveling together)?

3) I could not find a seatmap for PGA's E145 anywhere. What's the configuration in C and, again, is there anything to choose among the seats available?

I have never flown with TAP.

But on PGA the config is the same throughout the aircraft: 1 plus 2 (doing quite a few runs between MAD and OPO, I have never seen anyone in C, I am serious).

Call TP's call centre and once you have your ticket issued you can request seat assignments (at least that has been my experience).

As for the A340 seating, it's more or less the same.

Enjoy your flights!

I have always been able to choose my seat on TAP long haul, but I don't know if being *G has anything to do with it.

I change them through the LH Miles & More website or the LH call centre. (I use TAP mainly on a return flight on LH tickets.) But I guess that if LH can assign seats on a TAP flight, the TAP call centre should have no problem doing this.

There is only one C cabin on the A340 (6 rows), I personally avoid rows 1 (I have the impression the TV screen is further away) and 6 (noise).

All pax can choose their seats when they buy their tickets as long as they aren't flying with a deeply discounted Y fare (the tap|discount product). With TP tix, there is really no other way of doing it apart from calling TP's call centre...

In the almost 5 years since the last post, has there been a way developed to choose seats for long haul business class on TAP?

The only ways are to have a TA do it or phone the call centre.
