Never fly directly into Lisbon from outside Europe to skip immigration

6 December, 2025

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡น If you're flying to Portugal from outside Europe, NEVER fly directly into Lisbon

Fly into a different European airport like Amsterdam or Paris

Then take an EU flight with EasyJet/RyanAir to Lisbon, that way you can skip the 3+ hour immigration queue because intra-EU flights don't have immigration checks

This has been my workflow the last year or so ๐Ÿ‘Œ
