Airlines and services Lisbon

Lisbon's only airport. It has a high level of traffic, which has increased in recent years. The arrival in Lisbon is often very impressive, don't miss it from the window! Often, after the meanders of the Tagus and the estuary, the plane flies over the city very close to the houses, as if it didn't really know where to land... And if there is a little wind, the landing is memorable. From the airport,you can then travel to the city by aerobus, metro, bus or taxi.

TAP is Portugal's national airline. There are several daily flights to Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Nantes. Prices are very attractive in low season, as they are similar to those of low-cost airlines, with much better service and cabin comfort. And because it's a national airline, there's less risk of delays in high season. If you have checked baggage, it's worth checking the ticket prices on their website. Their loyalty program allows you to deduct 5 euros per journey.

For those who prefer not to travel with a low-cost airline, Air France is a good option. The airline operates direct flights from Paris, but flights from other major French cities such as Nantes, Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille are non-direct, via Paris or even Amsterdam. On the other hand, flights depart from Orly or Roissy. This allows you to choose according to where you live. As with other airlines, you will have to pay a supplement for checked baggage.

Several return flights from Paris Orly 3, Nantes and Lyon with an increased frequency in high season. Transavia is one of the main low-cost companies to get to Lisbon. In low season, you can take your plane tickets up to 10 days before departure without any real price increase. Pretty good to know for a last-minute stay. In general, the flights have few delays (except in high season) and the service is correct. The airline is also less careful about carry-on baggage than other low-cost airlines.
