  • Looking for cheap airfare to Portugal? 25% of our users found round-trip tickets to Portugal for the following prices or less: Cheap flights to Portugal from Birmingham £84, from Bristol £93, from London Gatwick £521
  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Portugal flight deals.
  • Most flights to Portugal fly to either Faro (for a seaside retreat) or Lisbon (to tour the city). Lisbon Airport (LIS) is the main international airport in Portugal, and this is the airport to fly into if you are looking to explore central Portugal. Faro airport (FAO) serves the southern coast of Portugal and the area with beautiful beaches and resorts known as the Algarve. You can reach the north of Portugal by flying into Porto airport (OPO), and many budget flights to Portugal land here.
  • For a less conventional holiday in Portugal, consider Madeira. The island is served by Madeira Airport (FNC), which is an international airport and has direct flights to and from Europe.
  • If a connection asks you to go from Lisbon terminal 1 to terminal 2, you should be careful with the stopover time. This means that you will have to go through security, pick up your bags and then catch bus to the other terminal, so ensure that there is ample stopover time. You may prefer to choose a connecting flight with the same airline or alliance, so that if you are delayed and miss your flight, you can book the next available flight.
  • In Portuguese airports, passport control is usually after the duty-free lounge and can take some time, so when departing from Portugal, ensure that you have plenty of time to clear passport control after duty-free shopping to avoid missing your flight. Budget carriers can also have long lines during peak season, so you may want to arrive at the airport earlier.
  • As a British citizen, you do not need a visa for short stays in Portugal. You do not need additional passport validity beyond your stay in Portugal. It may be worth checking the government website for up-to-date information on travel to the European Union.
  • If you are booking a romantic getaway and want to find cheap flights to Portugal, book a flight to the Algarve. The area boasts eternal golden beaches, scenic coastlines, spectacular sunsets and precious olde worlde fishing villages making it one of the most romantic destinations in Europe. To get to the area you'll need to catch an international flight to Faro Airport (FAO).
  • For young travellers going to Portugal looking to have a wild adventure, and experience the freedom of Fado, Bacalhau and local Douro Port while dancing the night away, then Coimbra is the best region for you to visit. To access this bustling university town that never sleeps you'll need to fly into Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport (OPO), and take a bus to make the hour trip into town.
  • If you are exploring all of Portugal and feel like you must jam-pack as many sights as you can into one trip, you can save a few hours by flying between Faro and Porto. You will also find flights between Lisbon and Porto but getting to and from the airport usually takes time due to heavy traffic in Lisbon, and airport checks can take a long time, so you'd be better off with public transport in that case.

Apart from the delay, it was very good. Crew were great and the plane was great - looked like a newer one.

Generally excellent but a couple of areas could be improved. After boarding we were delayed a full 20 mins whilst various ground crew, flight crew, captain faffed around counting and recounting passengers. Said discrepancy between computer and manual. All OK in the end. So why o why did it take 20 mins to find all OK? No sense of urgency shown Secondly the seat base is just not supportive/resilienfor a 4½ hour journey - backside really aching by journey end.

The staff are just so friendly travelling alone was a bit scary but they made me feel comfortable and nothing was to much bother I loved how one of the girls was talking to the old ladies she really took time thank you jet2 shame I can’t get home with u guys 🥲

On time flight. Reasonable comfortable but a bit cramped. Excellent jet 2 staff as usual.

A good flight with friendly crew and check-in but disembarking was chaotic and badly managed

Flights were on time, boarding was straight forward. Very good attentive staf

Delays on both journeys - only found out before geting to the airport as had created trip within Kayak.

There is nothing I can think.of that jet2 need to improve They offer a great package. Very efficient

All was good but they should bring back seat pockets. It’s difficult trying to travel with small children and keep having to get stuff out of flight bag and then have nowhere to put it!

The flight was okay, seats slightly more comfortable than Easy jet, but wouldn’t want to fly much more than 3.5 hours in those seats, hard and uncomfortable for further journeys. Boarding was okay, never eat or drink on Eco airlines, food not good and expensive for what you get. But it is what it is, and for the price one can not really complain.

Check in was super slow. And my bag did not make it to the final destination. Hopefully it will be delivered -otherwise there is no way in hell I will ever fly this airline again.

The plane was FABULOUS. The crew were wonderful and the food more than I expected.

The food was dry and tasteless. Boarding process was ridiculous. Lounge is Lisbon was of very poor quality. The website is nearly unusable. Customer service was challenging. This was my first transatlantic business class flight with TAP. There will not be another.

Disappointing Compared to other airlines , this one was the most expensive. But not even close, in getting what you paid for.

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.

Smooth journey made good time. The aircraft was littered and did not look very presentable.

On time departure; arrived early into Faro. Air Malta operating flight, crew friendly and efficient.

I didn't know that all connecting flights require online check-in two hours in advance, so I was fined 55 euros. This is a lesson learned.

There isn’t any entertainment. The food and drink was available for a price. I didn’t buy any.

It would be nice to have power to charge phone.

They boarded us but somehow did not manage to record us boarding, so rather than check if we were onboard they removed our bags from the aircraft. I got a call from Ryanair staff in Dublin when I landed in Madiera asking me where I was!!! When I said I was in Madiera I was told what had happened. Our bags were to be sent to Madiera the next day via Manchester, they didn’t arrive. They are now due to arrive two days before we leave. I don’t see myself using Ryanair again unless I am forced to and even then I may just refuse.

The flight arrived within 15 minutes of schedule. We hate the cattle-like boarding process seen often in Europe. After your boarding pass is checked by the airline staff, you wait standing up in an area with no seating for several minutes.

Great flight, departed only 10 mins behind schedule off the aircraft and through security in less than 15 minutes. Love flying from Cardiff so easy a quick from entrance to duty free in less than 10 minutes 😀

Well... Our flight departed with more than 3 hours delay from Beauvais.

Staff were friendly and flight was on time. Free drink and snacks would have been appreciated.

There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.

Flight was two hours delayed then instead of flying to Gatwick we got diverted to Southend airport! Then they cancelled our flight and we all got told we had to get off the plane and make our own way to wherever we had to go? EasyJet just abandoned us, no help and as a tourist not knowing even where I was? Disgusting behaviour from the company!!

I’ve always flew with Ryan, but never again I’ll always fly with easyJet

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.

I was hesitant to book with a low cost airline due to previous experience but Easy Jet surpassed my expectations. I would definitely book a flight with them again! Seemless booking, upfront about baggage fees, professional, and helpful staff.

I was charged at the gate for bags I had already paid for. There was no other option. I am trying diligently thought easyJet website but making no progress HELP!

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

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

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

British Airways is very good... Taxiing after landing took 35 minutes, can't really blame the airline but the terrible infrastructure at JFK.

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.
