Flights to get you there
TAP flies Boston and Toronto to Lisbon nonstop, with an easy connection on to Porto.
- Porto and Lisbon
- Porto’s river quays at Vila Nova de Gaia are 25–30 minutes from Porto airport (OPO). Lisbon is about three hours south by train.
- Arrive a day early
- Long-haul flights from North America land after a night in the air. Arrive the day before embarkation: it absorbs a delay and gives you a full night’s sleep before sailing.
