1) Free seat allocation at time of booking (including exit row)
2) Lounge access for myself and my partner travelling on the same PNR and flight
3) Any free/extra luggage to check in

Tried looking up the answers on TAP website with no luck, and their call centre has a massively long wait.. Many thanks in advance for your help!^
1. Depends on your fare class. The lowest don't allow it. Check-in opens 36 hours prior to departure. If you book through an OTA you may have a better chance of selecting your seat at the time of booking than on TP's website after for low fare classes.
2. Yes. Same PNR or not doesn't matter.
3. 1-2 bags x 20 kg, depending on the fare.
