Live flight center
Check the airport's official flight board, then confirm any last-minute gate or timing change with the airline.
Current airport-area weather

When should I reach the airport?
A planning estimate based on flight type and common time buffers. Always increase the buffer for severe weather, major holidays, unusual airport alerts or airline instructions.
Connection-risk checker
This is a planning heuristic, not an airline minimum-connection-time rule. International arrivals that require U.S. entry processing, baggage claim and security can need substantially more time.

Passenger pickup readiness
Landing time is not curb-ready time. Add time for taxiing, deplaning, baggage claim, customs when applicable and walking to the correct pickup zone.
Lisbon Airport, Humberto Delgado Airport and LIS are the same passenger airport
The airport is widely called Lisbon Airport or Aeroporto de Lisboa. Its formal passenger-facing name is Humberto Delgado Airport. These names refer to the airport travelers search for with the code LIS.
NAV Portugal lists the aerodrome as Lisboa / Humberto Delgado and places it about 7 km from central Lisbon. ANA Aeroportos de Portugal operates the airport.
Passenger code
LIS is the code to enter when searching airline fares, departure boards, baggage routing and airport transfers.
Aviation identifier
LPPT is Lisbon Airport’s ICAO location indicator and is the code used in technical aviation material.
Close to Lisbon
The airport is unusually close to the Portuguese capital, which makes Metro, bus, taxi and app-based transport practical options.
Terminal 1 vs Terminal 2 at Lisbon Airport
Lisbon Airport currently has two passenger terminals, but they do not operate as two equal full-service terminals. All airline arrivals are processed at Terminal 1. Terminal 2 is used for departures by a defined group of low-cost airlines.
| Situation | Terminal | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| All arrivals | Terminal 1 | ANA states that arrivals for all airlines are handled at T1. |
| Most departures | Terminal 1 | Full-service, long-haul and many European departures use T1. |
| Selected low-cost departures | Terminal 2 | T2 currently serves Eurowings, Norwegian, Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea, Vueling and Wizz Air departures. |
| Terminal transfer | T1 ↔ T2 | ANA provides the free Shuttle T2 service between the terminals. |
Changing terminals for a connection
If your itinerary brings you into Terminal 1 and your next flight departs Terminal 2, allow additional time for the terminal change. Baggage collection, immigration, customs and re-check requirements depend on your itinerary and whether your bags are checked through, so the operating airline should confirm the connection procedure.
Four Lisbon Airport checks worth doing on travel day
Metro, bus, taxi and app-based transport from LIS
Lisbon Airport is close enough to the city that public transport and road transport are both practical. Your best choice depends on arrival time, baggage, destination and whether you want the lowest-cost or most direct trip.
Metro: Aeroporto station
The airport is served by Aeroporto station on Lisbon Metro’s Red Line. Metro Lisboa currently lists the station operating window as approximately 06:30 to 01:00.
The Red Line also connects toward Oriente, where travelers can transfer to national and suburban rail services.
Check Aeroporto station →CARRIS city buses
Metro Lisboa’s airport station information currently references CARRIS routes 705, 722, 744 and 783. Routes and stop arrangements can change during road works, so check CARRIS before boarding.
Check CARRIS routes →Taxi
Licensed taxis are normally available outside the terminal areas. ANA currently gives a rough city-center journey estimate of €10–€15 depending on traffic, including luggage fees in its published example.
Make sure the meter is running and request a receipt. Airport and taxi charges can change, so treat the figure as a planning estimate rather than a guaranteed fare.
Uber and Bolt pickup
ANA directs app-booked Bolt and Uber pickups to P2, Level 2, arrivals level. App-based drop-offs for departing passengers use Drop Off 1 or Drop Off 2 beside departures.
Verify pickup instructions →Lisbon Airport parking: P1, P2 and P3 explained
ANA operates multiple official car parks around Terminal 1. Parking products and online prices vary by travel dates, so it is more useful to choose by location and trip type first, then check the live booking price.
P1 Premium
Underground parking beside Terminal 1 departures with direct lift access. ANA lists it at roughly a two-minute walk and provides a free shuttle connection toward Terminal 2.
P2 Executive
Underground parking by the Terminal 1 arrivals area with direct lift access. It is also the area used for the designated app-based ride pickup point on Level 2.
P3 Low Cost
P3 is near Terminal 1 and is positioned as a lower-cost option. ANA lists a walk of about five minutes and shuttle connections for terminal access.
Security, liquids and non-Schengen border control
Hand-luggage liquids
ANA currently states that the standard liquid restrictions remain in force at Lisbon Airport. Liquids, aerosols and gels should generally be in individual containers of no more than 100 ml, inside one transparent resealable bag with a maximum capacity of 1 litre per passenger.
Medicines, baby food and special dietary items may qualify for exceptions when needed for the journey and should be presented separately at security. Check the current official rules before packing because screening technology and requirements can change.
Non-Schengen departures
Passengers on non-Schengen routes may need both security screening and border-control processing. ANA currently displays a warning about possible longer waits at departures border control and advises international non-Schengen passengers to arrive early.
Your airline remains the best source for the recommended airport-arrival time for your particular flight, especially for long-haul travel, checked baggage or document checks.
MyWay assistance, Wi-Fi and practical passenger support
MyWay assistance
ANA’s MyWay service supports passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility when departing, arriving or connecting.
Request the service through your airline or travel agent when booking, or at least 48 hours before the published departure time.
Free airport Wi-Fi
Lisbon Airport provides free unlimited Wi-Fi. ANA instructs travelers to select _VINCI Airports WiFi, open a browser and accept the connection terms.

Where is Lisbon Airport?
Humberto Delgado Airport sits within Lisbon’s urban area, about 7 km from the center of the city. Its close-in location is one reason the Metro is a practical option for many visitors who do not need a door-to-door transfer.
Common Lisbon Airport mistakes and what to do
You go to Terminal 2 but your airline uses Terminal 1
Check the live departure information and your airline confirmation. If you are at the wrong terminal, use the airport’s free terminal shuttle and allow time for the move.
You arrive at T1 but expected T2
This is usually not an error. ANA states that all airline arrivals are handled at Terminal 1, including airlines that may depart from Terminal 2.
Your non-Schengen flight is approaching boarding time
Do not assume security was the final queue. Border control may still be required. Follow airport signs and airline instructions and monitor the gate information continuously.
Your Uber or Bolt driver cannot find you
Check that you are at the designated app-based pickup area at P2, Level 2, arrivals level, and compare the location shown in the app with ANA’s current access guidance.
The Metro is closed when you land
Metro’s published Aeroporto station hours are not 24-hour service. Check CARRIS night options, licensed taxis or your chosen app-based transport service for the time you actually arrive.
