Dublin to Lisbon
Lisbon is to go four times daily from Dublin starting 1 April 2019. At present it is served by a 06:45 Ryanair departure and one at 18:45 by Aer Lingus, an arrangement that seems to suit both airlines.
A resurgent TAP will introduce a morning service at 10:35 arriving in Lisbon at 13:15 and an afternoon flight departure Dublin at 17:30 arriving in Lisbon at 20:10. The timings have been made to connect with the extensive TAP South American programme. Airbus A320 series aircraft will be used for the operation
TAP chief executive, Antonoaldo Neves, said the new Dublin service was part of an expansion programme that was "another step in the path of strong strategic growth that the company has been going through in recent years and will continue to develop".
The historic capital of Portugal is in the same time zone as Dublin and is one of Europe’s less expensive capitals. It is a vibrant city with a rebuilt tram system and plenty of small boutique hotels in the Baxia downtown area.
