As far as I know the A321neo-LR is the only narrow-body aircraft in TAP's fleet that has seatback screens in both Economy and Business Class. Fortunately, the turbulence wasn't strong enough for any of us on board to use this bag. So if you have your own entertainment, no issue at all.

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. The turbulence was not as bad as what I was anticipating and for most parts of the flight, it was smooth. Off we go, fortunately it wasn't turbulent. Unlike my first day in Lisbon, the weather was gloomy.

Gone were the days when Singapore Airlines operated wide-body on popular cities such as Penang and Phuket with the Boeing 777-200 (Non-ER rated) and now the airline is operating the smaller narrow-body aircraft which allows more flexibility and adjustment of the frequency or up-gauge the aircraft on the routes when is needed.

There was quite a bit of turbulence in the middle of the flight but landing in Penang was a smooth affair. As the Boeing 737-8 is a single aisle narrow-body aircraft. Flying at this point was a bit turbulent as we flew through some unfriendly clouds. That is why I love flying, you get to enjoy such beautiful view.
