Check-in information
The first step in your journey can be simple and efficient.
Important information
- Documentation control at the border: All passengers traveling to or from countries outside the Schengen area or making intercontinental journeys will be subject to a documentation check by the Portuguese authorities.At the airport, it is advisable to attend to the border control in time, as all passengers will undergo an interview, and the waiting time may vary.
- Documentation control on trips between Lisbon and Tel Aviv: On flights to and from Tel Aviv, there is a mandatory documentation check before the Security Control and X-Ray, which can result in long queues. For this reason, we recommend arriving at the airport at least 4h before your flight departure.
Check the times and all available Check-in methods, and choose the one that best suits you. Please note that, regardless of the chosen Check-in method, you must ensure that you arrive at your flight's boarding gate at least 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
