I was literally about the pull the trigger on a J booking YYZ-LIS-TLV when all of a sudden the seatmap for the first segment YYZ-LIS changed to the OLD A330-200 layout. BARF. These aren't even fully lie flat seats. Interestingly the other flights all appear to have the new configs loaded in the seat maps. I'm now worried about booking this and finding that the long haul segments both end up on old equipment. Anyone flown that YYZ-LIS route recently???

Nope they still have 4 A343 and 6 A332 with the old slippery slope seats installed flying around. They are supposed to leave the fleet when all the A339 and A359 arrive.

very much on topic the A340 last flights to Africa (and I believe from the network) are scheduled now only until year end.
per airline route
TAP Air Portugal in late-May 2019 moved accelerated planned Airbus A330-900neo service to Africa, previously scheduled from late-March 2020. Latest adjustment to planned A330-900neo Africa service as follows.
Lisbon – Luandaeff 20DEC19 7 weekly
Lisbon – Maputoeff 31DEC19 3 weekly
Planned last A340-300 scheduled service remains unchanged on 31DEC19, Luanda to Lisbon.

It still baffles me how they keep expanding their network to the limit (example MIA above) and not retiring aircraft that are clearly past their prime.

Not sure if this is the appropriate thread for this, but....
Does anyone know if the LIS-ORD route is supposed to be operated by A339 permanently? I just booked tickets ORD-LIS for November and was surprised/disappointed to see a A332 seat map...

I booked mine about 2mos ago, flying next Fri. When I booked it was old 2-2-2, then about a week later it showed A339 (yay!) and then I log in the other day and showing A332 but luckily one of the newer 1-2-1 with throne. So seems like no consistency here

Im looking at flying one of the well priced exEU business class fares home with my family at the end of a vacation this summer. It looks like NYC is a good bet for our US connection as by early August both ewr and jfk flights from Lisbon are scheduled as 339s and OPO-EWR is a 321neo LR. At the end of the day its a daytime flight and I wouldnt be losing any sleep, but it sure does seem like the New York market gets priority for flatbeds of one shape or another. Any insight to the contrary?
From OPO, as the operating aircraft is the A321LR, it's always flatbeds; from LIS, both EWR and JFK usually get flatbeds too, either with the A339s or the retrofitted A332s.

Even though the inauguration was just last weekend, on FlightAware this route is already being alternated between 332 and 339. Looks like 50/50 but no pattern...
