Morning or evening flight on IST–LIS?

Operators schedule evening departures around 20:15 from IST. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the LIS delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from IST to LIS?

Great-circle distance is 3,212 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 257–305 min gate-to-gate on this route.
