These are interesting news. Any leaked intel on what bird they'll put on the route? When will airbus deliver the 12 A350 units TP ordered?
I can't say I'm excited. Crappy service and uncomfortable seats and pricing that won't be super competitive vs. Level .... maybe I'll change my mind on this, but right now I'm not so sure I'll be taking LIS-SFO non-stop. |

It'll be the 330neo. They switched the A350 order to A330neo when Neeleman bought TP.

Great news, and isn't SATA / Air Açores starting (or recently started) a flight to OAK (or is it SJC) from Ponta Delgada (or is it Terceira)? LOL anyway from somewhere in the Azores to somewhere in the SF Bay Area although I think it may only be once per week.

You're most definitely not alone. I'm actually wondering about who will fill those cabins, especially in C.
