Recommendation
For the best combination of time and comfort, I recommend flying with TAP Air Portugal. Although it might be more costly compared to bus travel, the significant reduction in travel time makes it a worthwhile investment. Ensure you arrive at the airport at least 3 hours early for international flights and consider booking a direct flight where possible to minimize layover times.
