Lisbon airport - enough time to catch a connection?
 

Hello! I have a question for those of you who are familiar with the Lisbon airport.

We're scheduled to arrive from the U.S. in Lisbon on a Monday at 8:50am. We'd like to book a connecting flight to Germany for the same day, and we're considering one that departs at 12:40pm. So we'd have just under four hours to go through customs, retrieve and recheck in our luggage, and board the connecting flight. And allow for any delays therein.

Is this a reasonable enough itinerary? Will it allow sufficient time for customs and everything else? Or should we definitely play it safer and find a later flight?

BTW, FlightStats offers the following on our flight into Lisbon (from Paris) -- it looks like there's an average delay of 12 minutes. http://www.flightstats.com/go/Flight...ingByFlight.do

Thanks in advance for your help!

Unless the plane is horribly late you have plenty of time. If you're on the same carrier between US and Lisbon and Lisbon and Germany then you can check your bags through to your final destination and not have to retrieve them and recheck them.

You could actually take a nap with this much time at Lisbon! Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time for the 12.40 flight. It's a relatively small airport and you'll be fine.

Thank you both!! :)
