Wondering about how long a flight it is from Portugal to New York...or Boston.
And what carriers? Thanks!

Dang - I should have previewed. I meant to say -- Lisbon.

Newark to Lisbon on Continental 61/2-7 hours.

For LIS->EWR, add another hour over the eastbound flight, for about 7.5 in the air.

TAP Portugal on an Airbus 310 or Continental on a 757.

No non-stop to Boston or JFK.

Thanks for the comebacks, and especially for that link! Fodorites always come through.

I have flown Continental several times LIS-EWR and they almost always arrrived ahead of schedule. Generally, they've been the first flights arriving from a European city (around 13:00 or 13:30) so there's less hassle with Immigration and Customs because of smaller crowds.

rkkwan writes: "No non-stop to Boston or JFK." That should probably read: "No Scheduled Airline non-stop to Boston ..." There's a large Portuguese population in New England (i.e., Boston, Providence, etc.) so there's a Travel Agency in Boston that contracts with Charters, mostly in summertime, between Boston and Lisbon or Boston and Azores.
