Flights from London to Portugal: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from London to Portugal 
ZakFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGAL-Mar 2025
Don't bother with business if you are flying out of LHR before 06:30 as the lounges and fast track security only open at 06:00 so you will not have time to use them. For short haul European flights this is most of the benefit of going business class. Hand luggage only is better with a large rucksack (30-40L) instead of a case with wheels is possible as gate agents will usually check cases with wheels on full flights and your rucksack is less likely to be gate checked.
ForrestFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGAL-Dec 2024
Book a morning flight so if it's cancelled you have time to adjust. All the airlines operating between the two are budget airlines so don't expect great service.
LiannFlew with British Airways-Aug 2024
Keep liquids altogether because you have to place it in a plastic bag from them
KFlew with TAP AIR PORTUGAL-Apr 2024
Huge queues at Lisbon airport. Literally anywhere. Make sure you leave plenty of time for everything.

FAQs - booking Portugal flights

  • Can I fly directly from London to Portugal?

    You can fly directly from London Stansted Airport (STN) to Porto Airport (OPO) on Ryanair several times a day. Alternatively, there are non-stop flights from London Luton Airport (LTN) and Gatwick Airport (LGW) to Lisbon or Porto. From Heathrow Airport you can fly directly to Lisbon or Porto too.

  • Which Portuguese city should I choose to land in?

    The three major Portuguese Airports are rather neatly distributed. Faro Airport (FAO) is on the southern coast in the Algarve region, Porto Airport is in the north-west, while the capital of Lisbon is in the middle of the country on its west coast, served by Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS).

  • How should I choose my departure airport in London?

    Given that you can get direct flights from most London airports, your decision will come down to where in London you’re coming from. Heathrow is on the western outskirts, while Gatwick is a way south near Crawley. Stansted lies on London’s north-east outskirts near Bishop’s Stortford, and Luton Airport is to the north-west.

  • Can I save carbon emissions on flights from London to Portugal?

    Your best way of reducing carbon emissions when you fly to Portugal is to choose one of the direct morning flights from Heathrow to Lisbon. These flights emit just over half the carbon of the other flights flying this route. Later BA flights also offer significant reductions, albeit about 10% less than the morning flights.

  • Does Portugal have child seat laws?

    All children under the age of three must travel in a child seat in the back of the car, or in the front seat if you deactivate the airbags. Choose the back seat for more peace of mind. All children up to the age of 12 must also travel in child seats, in the front or the back.

  • Do I need a visa to enter Portugal?

    As Portugal is in the Schengen visa area, you won’t need a visa to enter the country and stay there for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You can visit multiple times until you reach this limit. Just bear in mind that if you visit any other European countries in the Schengen area, these visits will also count towards your 90-day limit.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from London to Portugal?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from London to Portugal.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from London to Portugal?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly from London to Portugal with an airline and back with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from London to Portugal?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying from London to Portugal up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Airline reviews

Food is poor. Drinks in dixie cups, only white/red wine in Premium Prime despite business class food-which even that is a joke. Second “meal” on a 12 hour flight is a bagged sandwich in a cardboard box, which on premium airlines is a snack served BETWEEN meals. The premium economy product has some good parts but is obviously a cheap way of somewhat upgrading economy without actually putting any money into it. Lisbon airport is overcrowded and almost 3rd world as an airport. Crew is efficient but militaristic-crrtianly not “warm”. Entire experience feels like an intercontinental budget airline.

Excellent experience - from boarding through the super smooth flight The food was mediocre and the app could be better but overall great experience

No onboard entertainment or food, but that was okay because it was a short flight. Pretty much everyone just slept on the plane. The plane was comfortable enough.

My seat was the only seat where the tv didn’t work. The crew Carol and Jua were very rude and refused to move me and my companion to a seat where the tv was working. I traveled on a 8 hour flight with no entertainment nor able to choose my food. I was told by Jua to call customer service for compensation. The customer service team and escalation team refuses to compensate me even after verifying and speaking to the flight crew, whom confirmed they told me that. Horrible service, horrible freezing cold flight. I would never fly Jet Blue again.

Bad boarding, threat to force bag check mid journey, lines, late, buses, more waiting awful end to end.

Terrible! I had to cancel our flights due to my wife Carmen requiring an unexpected second cancer surgery. I first contacted orbitz about obtaining a credit due to medical interruption and orbitz directed me to TAP. I contacted TAP and the representative directed me back to orbitz and refused to even explain what TAP’s medical interruption policy was or how it worked—I wanted that information for a second call to orbitz. Terrible service at a particularly difficult time.

Checkin was very slow, we had checked in online and hoping we could do a bag drop at the airport. However everyone with checked bags had to queue up and it took over 40mins. Our advice arrive extra early or you will be rushing to the gate.

Was a cheap flight and it got me to Portugal on time. For economy there was ample leg room and the flight attendants were pleasant and helpful.

The staff were great - very friendly and chatty. I checked in online at 9.30am, when check in had opened at 1.30am, and choices were already very limited, so act fast.

I suspect that there was an item pilfered from my bag at the TAP automated check-in counter on March 26th at Heathrow Airport around 11:30am. I think that the employee assisting me with my bags took something out of it when I was not paying attention because today, March 27th there is a notebook missing. Please check the camera to see if indeed this occurred. My description: Male, African Decent, 5'8, 180lbs medium build, wearing trousers and a jacket. Employee description: Female, Indian Decent (guessing) 5'7, slight build. Flight 1359, London to Lisbon.

Great flight just took some time to board even when lining up early for the flight, even taking off took longer then expected.

Flight was delayed by 1 hour 45 minutes. Aircraft was cramped, dirty and uncomfortable. Boarding staff more interested in charging you for oversize baggage than getting you on board. Overall not a pleasant experience.

It's not the staff's fault. The cabin crew do their best but the setup in Stansted Airport by Ryanair is poor. The herding of people like cattle is unacceptable before boarding and is something that's in every airport but only in Stansted have I seen the queueing of passengers outside the plane on the tarmac and the crew only turning up with maybe 5 minutes to depart. This is a resource issue . Yes prices are good but seemingly comes with a price of poor treatment of customers. I'll pay more next time

It was appalling, full of young people who were drunk and disobeying instructions to sit down. Crew did nothing to enforce. There was a Ryanair pilot sitting in the aisle opposite me who talked through out the safety briefing so loudly I couldn’t hear. Whole thing felt unsafe

Delayed for 2 hours lack of communication no refreshments as promised and the drinks on board were not as ordered and refused to refund

We were diverted to warsaw and there was zero information. We were just forced to disembark and off we go good luck the reat of the way. We all had to go our ways to find a way home!!!! Horrible horrible and it cost us alot of money to get a hotel and trains 4:30 pm next day.

Blood contaminated tissue was stuffed to the back of the seat in front of us.

My flight was delayed 1 hour. My Mood was not great

This time round it was very good, flight delayed by 30mins but capitan put his toe to the floor and made some time up!!

Keep track of your departure times and communicate in Airport. I could have spend an hour more in my lounge

There was no useful information given regarding the flight back to the UK from Tenerife. This despite the week publicised problems around the EES system and the delays caused to boarding. This aspect of the customer experience could have been much better.

Fast boarding, smooth takeoff and landing. plenty of space in seats. Excellent air-conditioning on a hot day. Perfect experience

Sitting on the last row in between the aisle and a massive person, all people going to the bathroom bumped into me including the flight attendants.

The best budget airline in Europe. Flight was on time, crew friendly and worked hard during flight and were able to meet our needs. Only downside (not the airline's fault), there were no rear steps.

It was transportation nothing more. I will give a positive rating over Ryanair. We missed our Ryanair flight the night before and received rude and unconcerned treatment from the Ryanair customer service. It was late. We were very tired and stressed after doing our best to get to the airport. The so called customer service ladies were completely unconcerned from the start. Aside from that, the flight to London seemed to be their opportunity for advertising. No time to relax as attendants were constantly in the aisle selling. I will never fly Ryanair again!!

Would not advise EasyJet for a 5 hour flight…small plane and hence a lot of turbulence. No inflight entertainment so struggle to pass time in cramped seats. We also fell victim to extra charge for our cabin bags, although bag dimensions were ok, but the handle was rigid and slightly fell outside their testing cage!!….never again will we fly with this airline and be party to their scams for making money!

The food and so are to expensive and old . Crew whas not very friendly . Apparently some other passenger can just Push through the waiting people to board while almost punching me and a father with a child down the stairs. Its always something with easy jet . The seats of row 26 where lose . And for a guy of my size there is absolutely no leg room at all .

Very pleasant crew, working hard on a full plane. Delay by a broken seat. However crew made back 60% of the delay.

The pilot did everything possible to make up the 35 minute delay. His communications were honest, prompt and positive throughout.

Staff were lovely. Seats could be wider/ more comfortable and late taking off

Those seats were very comfortable. Nice leg room and food was great 👍

It was not British Air, we were put onto Air Portugal for our London to Lisbon leg.

Horrible leg room - coach seating with empty seat in middle on a 3 across seating. You buy business class for comfort which includes leg room. Absolutely no entertainment options either. Awful experience

The on flight entertainment system touch screen system and the USB charger did not work on multiple seats on least 4 seats an in different rows. The attendant tried to reset the system but was un successful. I couldn't change my phone to get my ticket for my next flight. This was an international flight I changed seats and the problem was the same. the flight attendant offered his power bank

Business class was nothing more than Economy with middle seat empty. Uncomfortable seat and leg room. A mom behind me had a 18 month/2 yr old on her lap, who had his feet on my back all the time- while middle seat remained empty. Pretty much not worth the fare. Very disappointed.

Once again I purchase a business class ticket and the seat is exactly the same as cattle class, the only difference being is that BA install a janky table over the middle seat so there is somewhere to place your complimentary drink, the tray table is just big enough for the small tray, so if you are not concerned about getting fed and watered on the plane or getting access to the BA lounge I would save your money and fly cattle, PS the cabin crew were exceptional in every way, shame about the equipment

When bussing people to/from the gate, don't pack everyone in like a can of sardines and don't send the bus on its way if the plane isn't ready. Waited for about 40 minutes packed in this bus...both ways!

A Perfect 2.5 hr flight. No amenities, but we did not expect any.

Delayed flight by 45 minutes. Need a refund to compensate for the subsequent itinerary changes

The flight was delayed and absolutely packed, we had to dispach our hand luggage which contained some fragile items, luckly nothing was damaged.

Far easier than I expected it to be. Checked in online & had our boarding passes emailed through. Straight through security & boarded on time. No issues.

Shocking. Faults with the plane in both directions which caused delays with no compensation

Great crew. Seats do not recline :( but it is budget so i should have known. Otherwise comfy leather chair. Slight slim chair but again budget so expected. No entertainment do makes journey boring. Recommend packing plenty of snacks and games or download plenty of films and music in your device. Staff excellent. Clean flight. On time.

Both of my flights had issues with their time slot with air traffic control, so they left over an hour late and the flight back to London was delayed by over an hour. Please provide more clarity about baggage requirements on booking sites, your website and within the app. I had to pay for extra bags at the airport when departing London, because they didn’t specify that your carry on bag can only be a backpack and not a trolley, my trolley bag fit the size requirements of the backpack but still I was made to pay

Were delayed in the airport for 5 hours with no explanation. Flight kept getting delayed by an hour at a time and wizz air staff were no where to be found

It's a budget airline. Great for short flight. Smooth landing.

4 hr delay and only told less than 2hrs before. Only given water and nuts on the flight as complimentary service. Left to wait in rain before boarding.

To be honest I did not like anything. Communication to why my flight was cancelled mid air 2 and half hours into my flight. Customer service desk were not helpful with providing information or a solution on what can be done.

What I liked new airplane Sitting was extremely uncomfortable! Crew not smiley at all Always chewing gum

The flight was cancelled just 4 hours before the take off...
