Lisbon has been rising in the ranks of popular travel destinations and it’s easy to see why – the capital city of Portugal is home to historical sites, colorfully tiled maze like alleys, and of course great food. We’ve visited a few times and have always had a great time in the city.<\/p>

The city is one of the most attractive for digital nomads with many making it home for its easy going lifestyle and relative affordability (compared to major US cities).<\/p>

Lisbon receives a mix of business and leisure travelers, also serving as a major layover point for onwards flight to other European countries. <\/p>

The flag airline carrier of the country is TAP Air Portugal, a Star Alliance carrier<\/a> that offers routes to 90 destinations in 34 countries worldwide.<\/p>

Lisbon Airport serves as the main hub for TAP but also receive flights from many major US carriers. If you are planning a trip to Lisbon or just laying over, we will break down the best airlines to fly.<\/p>

The airport is located close to the city center and has plenty of transport options by both car and public transit. Given the airports size, there are also many restaurants, lounges, duty free shops that you can visit on arrival or layover.<\/p>

It shouldn’t take you more than 25 minutes to get from the airport into the city center. Note during rush hour there will be traffic in the city and it might be faster to take the metro that is connected directly to the airport.<\/p>

Airlines Flying To Lisbon<\/h2>

If you are departing from the US, there are a good amount of options if you want to fly direct to Lisbon. <\/p>

The airlines that offer service mainly include the flag carrier TAP Air Portugal but Delta, United, and American also offer service. The benefit of having all the major US airlines is it makes it easier to do codeshares when booking from another partner airline.<\/p>

Not every major city in the US offers nonstop service to Lisbon. The major airlines only offer nonstop service from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, and Washington DC. <\/p>

If you are planning to depart from the US you will most likely need to connect in one of these cities before a flight into Lisbon.<\/p>

Airfare to Lisbon<\/h2>

Ticket prices to Lisbon can vary depending on season but given the amount of airlines offering service you can expect $350 – $500 roundtrip in economy. During peak season of summer this can go up pretty significantly to around $500 – $900. We like using Skyscanner to find the best deal<\/a> and their compare page makes it easy.<\/p>

Here is a breakdown of average round trip prices by month. Note we pulled the data towards the end of February, which is why that appears so high.<\/p>
