32Q is TP's code for all A321 neos, both LR and non-LR.

There's no lounge indeed, but there are some couches behind a wall which are reserved for C/CL pax.

The airport upgrade for TMS-LIS is 390 EUR / 440 USD.

The nonreclining seats are for non-LR A321s. In the LR, all seats recline and have PTVs.

It's small, but very inefficient. 2h before departure should be fine.
