Morning or evening flight on LIS–IST?

Operators schedule morning departures around 05:55 from LIS. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the IST delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from LIS to IST?

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.

How often does LIS–IST fly?

Turkish Airlines runs the route with about 21 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
