Mind you, TAP isn't exactly SQ in terms of luxurious service, but you may find ready availability. And it's a nice, underappreciated airline that most people overlook.
And if you're looking to create a stopover, LIS or surrounding areas are not bad places to visit, either.
As long as you stay on the A340. Avoid the A300 (yes, an A300 EWR-LIS).
