Leading Brazilian carrier TAM will launch a First Class cabin and in-flight service to flights between London and Sao Paulo from this 05th February 2010. Currently TAM offers its first class service on flights between Sao Paulo and Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid, New York, Miami and Orlando, as well as on flights  from Rio to Paris and New York.

The TAM Boeing 777-300ER aircraft will have four First Class which features a fully flat bed in a 1-2-1 layout; allows the passenger to enjoy a seat pitch of 81 inches with a  width of 18 inches, and a flat bed length of 75 inches. Other features include a 23-inch TV screen and laptop power points, while in-flight food has been devised by Brazilian chef Helena Rizzo of the award-winning restaurant Mani in Sao Paulo.

Passengers will also enjoy complimentary chauffeur-drive transfer to and from Heathrow, within a 65 miles radius of the airport. TAM is due to officially join Star Alliance this May, having been sponsored by United Airlines. Star has been without a Brazilian carrier in its network since 2007, when Varig left the alliance following bankruptcy proceedings. It is believed that TAM will move from its current home at Heathrow T4, to join the majority of the other Star carriers at T1 when it joins Star.
