Travel Tips / Things to Know when departing from Lisbon:

  • Flying directly to the U.S. from Lisbon: airport takes much longer (double passport checkpoints as of September 2025) and less pleasant side.

  • Flying within the EU/ from Lisbon to another European destination: arrive later for your departing flight, much cleaner, less hassle.
