Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS) is Portugal’s primary international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 7 km (4–5 miles) north of the city center; the metro usually takes around 20–30 minutes to Baixa with single fares commonly in the low euros, while taxis and rideshares can take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Ground transport also includes buses and airport shuttles. Pros include a compact terminal layout and good international connections; cons can be peak-time crowds and occasional queueing at security.
Athens is served by Athens International Airport (ATH), the country’s main international hub that handles most long-haul and European flights alongside some low-cost carriers.

The airport sits about 20 km east of central Athens; taxi rides to Syntagma or Monastiraki usually take 30–45 minutes, while the suburban Rail/Metro line can reach the city center in roughly 35–45 minutes.
