All direct flights to Lisbon from the UK & Ireland

Flight Summary

The Portuguese capital has yet to truly benefit from the no-frills revolution, as airport management have chosen to stick to a high charging regime, keeping budget airlines out.

Destination Summary

Lisbon - one of the oldest, most beautiful and dramatically set cities in Europe ' is baring witness to an exciting renaissance after years of decline thanks to the 1998 World Expo and the hugely successful Euro 2004 football tournament.

Quick Facts

Airport Code: LIS
Alternative Name: Lisboa
Miles From London: 1576

James Says

British Airways's now defunct offshoot Go used to offer cheap flights to Lisbon, but for the time being easyJet is the only no-frills operator with flights to Lisbon from the UK. Otherwise this is firmly BA and TAP Portugal's territory.

Mark Says

On paper at least, Lisbon is the perfect mini-break destination. It has the nightlife, the food, the quirky shops and plenty of boutique hotel offerings, not to mention two football giants in Benfica and Sporting. If there was a cheap alternative airport within 50 miles I'm sure Ryanair would be in there like a shot.

Do you think Ryanair will start flights to Lisbon?

  Hi Adam,
  
  I think it is highly unlikely that Ryanair will start flights to Lisbon unless they are offered a preferential deal at Lisbon airport. I can't see TAP Portugal allowing that to happen at their main stronghold!

I think Lisbon is Portugal's undisputed gem - and compared to Madrid, it is just so much more fresh! Lively, cosmopolitan, doesn't think it is up itself - and also because there's a few hills and a bit of wind, not to mention the small question of coastal views, it is just streets ahead of that Spanish dustbole!
