Flights to Lisbon
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Lisbon is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, whose 12,500-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Cascais Airport (CAT, 18 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport | LIS | 6 km (4 mi) | 12,500 ft | 374 ft |
| Cascais Airport (regional) | CAT | 18 km (11 mi) | 4,593 ft | 325 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,500 ft, LIS can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 374 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
