All the ways to fly to Portugal cheaply
Cheap flights to Portugal, this is not a legend.
You know that feeling when you suddenly feel like eating fresh pastel de nata or holding the long-awaited Portuguese passport in your hand, but your pocket isn't really keen on the idea? So it's time to stop dreaming and start planning, because there are quite a few ways to get to Portugal at prices worth every pocket. Here are some ideas that will help you fly cheaply to Portugal, without breaking the bank.

Book tickets early and save
Forget the saying "tomorrow we will do it". When it comes to plane tickets, time is money - the earlier you book, the cheaper the price. Did you plan your vacation a few months in advance? Great, it's time to take a look at the search engines, close your tickets and start imagining yourself walking around the alleys of Lisbon.
Dates out of season - because every season has its own beauty
If you can choose the time, August may be the time when everyone vacations, but the prices vacation much less. Look for the months of May, June, September or October. That way the weather is more pleasant, and the pocket won't sweat either.

The perfect combination: stopover and low cost companies
What's better than discovering two destinations for the price of one? Low-cost flights with a stopover are an excellent solution. For example, fly to Budapest with Wizz Air and then continue to Lisbon with Ryanair.
It is important to note that on low-cost flights with intermediate stops, this is an independent connection - this means that you will have to collect your luggage, leave the airport, and re-enter your next flight
Flying to Madrid and driving to Portugal - because who doesn't like a little action on the road?
Don't want to invest capital in flights? You can fly cheaply to Madrid with a low cost company like Ryanair and from there simply rent a car and drive to Lisbon or Porto. Whether you're a driving enthusiast or just want to save, this is an opportunity to stop in magical towns like Ciudad Rodrigo or Zamora.
