Humberto Delgado Airport

Lisbon, Portugal · Europe

Portugal's busiest airport: a cramped two-terminal TAP hub with excellent metro access, a usable independent lounge, and a persistent non-Schengen passport-control bottleneck.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Add time for non-Schengen border control

ANA currently warns of longer non-Schengen passport queues; 2h Schengen / 3h long-haul is the usual airline advice, not 4 hours.

Fast Track is security only and does not skip immigration. Average security minutes in our scorecard (18) are an editorial stand-in.

Terminal

T2 is landside shuttle, then its own security

Do not clear T1 security for a T2 flight. Ride the free 12-minute-interval shuttle from T1 departures, then check in and screen at T2.

T2 airlines: Eurowings, Norwegian, Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea, Vueling, Wizz Air. Closed 00:30–03:30. No T2 parking.

Food

Eat in T1 before a T2 shuttle

Praça Lisboa is the real food court. T2 is a simplified LCC hall with no lounge.

There is no published airport-wide bottled-water tariff. Lounge water is free once you are inside ANA or TAP.

Status

PP/LK/DP = ANA; Star Gold = TAP

Priority Pass LIS6, LoungeKey LIS6 and DragonPass N00381 are ANA Lounge only. TAP Tejo / Atlântico are TAP and Star Alliance, not Priority Pass.

ANA stay is 3 hours; showers are a paid kit. TAP Miles&Go Silver at Lisbon is intercontinental TAP plus four annual Europe/North Africa TAP visits.
