Onboard.TAP new cabin product onboard A330's.They changed the IFE recently, it looks really gorgeous, but it was only on after takeoff.The seat was comfortable, nice legroom and footrest (not so common nowadays).A blanket, a pillow and earphones were already in the seat.

As you can see, the cabin is modern. Flight was really full on both classes (Business and Economy).Which I believe there are a lot of people going on holiday to Brazil at this time of the year. Announcements were going on, welcoming passengers on board , to buckle up, stow the luggage in the bins,etc..
