TAP Portugal BOS > LIS > MXP
TAP Portugal FCO > LIS > BOS
Booked online via TAP's site. Two tickets. One for outbound and one for inbound. economy restricted
Using the TAP website, I paid for seats. Seat map came up; selected seats; paid the costs.
A few days later I was rechecking things. The seats are not shown on the map. It is an Airbus A330-200 and we have 17A & 17C. The freak'n row does not exist on some maps; on others the "C" doesn't exist.. Same issue on return trip - the letter or row does not exist.
The other concern is the departure flights - bought directly with TAP. There is only 50 minutes between flights arriving from FCO and departing LIS.
Please explain. Feeling stupid and confused.
For future reference, you'd get more helpful responses if you used a title like "Questions about TAP seat assignments." Questions about TAP should generally go to
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...-airlines-469/ . That's where the TAP experts hangout.
Im not sure why row 17 disappeared on the maps you're looking at. Have you tried calling the airline?
As for the layover, if you miss the connection, TAP will rebook you on another flight to Boston (which in this case would probably involve a connection through a third European city or through Newark). It's tight but you may make it, you may not. Nothing to do now.
