Flew in a TAP A321 FRA-LIS last week. I had an exit row seat and was shocked to see no seat-back pocket on the seat in front. No storage space for newspapers, magazines, tablet or anything. Since I had an aisle seat, reaching the safety instruction card as advised to do in the safety briefing would entail reaching getting out of the seat and retrieving this card from the fuselage side. Even for TAP, this is a new low in seat comfort when combined with the pieces of wood they now expect you to feel comfortable in. Seriously running out of options on this route.
