How to find cheap flights to Lisbon? Several companies share the cake, for more savings! Here are some tips for low-cost travel to the capital of Portugal!
Lisbon is pretty well served. From France you can find direct flights to Lisbon from Paris, Lyon, Toulouse, Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Bordeaux. From Belgium you will have to leave Brussels. In anticipation of your arrival, consider booking your transfer from Lisbon Airport .
Three tips to find cheap flights to Lisbon
(1) The prices of flights vary mainly depending on the departure period. So, to find a cheap flight to Lisbon, a tip: be flexible on your dates. Forget the summer holidays (the prices are multiplied by two!), as well as the "classical" return dates (from Saturday to Saturday for example). We advise you to prefer off-season periods (live Indian summer!), and not hesitate to test several travel dates to get the best price. In addition to paying less, you can also enjoy Lisbon with a little less tourists: a good way to make a stone two strokes!
(2) As with all destinations, cheap flights to Lisbon are also available in advance. A general law with exceptions: in case of sudden envy of weekend in Portugal , try your luck because the prices of flights sometimes drop a few weeks before departure.
(3) From France, the cheapest flights to Lisbon usually take off from Paris or Toulouse. But the price differences between the cities are not always very important: do not hesitate to compare several starting cities, to see if it really is worth crossing all of France to catch the cheapest flight. A tip: if you have time but not a lot of money, think about the low-cost Ouigo trains. For a few dozen euros, you can go to the city that offers the best low-cost flight to Lisbon!
