Question

How long are the flights and what is the average cost?

Answer

It takes approximately 7 hours to fly from New York to Lisbon. Total flight time will depend on where you fly from and the layover length. We highly recommend flying to New York first for the most efficient flight time (round trips from there are as low as $425). Flight prices vary however you can expect to spend about $500-800 USD round trip. We will be sending out flight alerts when prices drop so you can get the best deal.
