Lisbon Airport Lounges

All You Need To Know About Lisbon Airport Lounges

Humberto Delgado Airport, also known as Lisbon Airport, is perhaps the primary location that people use when traveling to and from Portugal’s capital city of Lisbon for vacations. It’s only about 6 miles (or roughly 9.6 kilometers) from downtown, and the airport both direct and indirect connections through dozens of airlines to countries across Europe and around the world.

If you are flying home via Lisbon Airport after your Portuguese vacation, you might want to allocate some extra time at the airport so that you can enjoy some of its lounges. For a fee, these specified areas provide travelers with additional comforts including more space to relax, complementary food and drink, newspapers, and other perks before your flight.

If you download the ANA travel app on your smartphone you can make reservations for the lounge via the app, as well as track your flight’s status in real time, and more.

The cost for a one-time entry to the ANA Lounge is currently €29 from March to November, which is considered to be the busy high season, and €25 for December to February, which is considered to be the low quiet season. You don’t have to pay any entry fee for children aged under three, but children from the ages of three to 12 must pay an entry fee of €15.

Use of the lounge is time-limited and you can only stay there for a maximum of three hours, so be sure to plan your arrival to the airport early enough to fully enjoy all of the lounge’s benefits.

The ANA Lounge requires a smart casual dress code, so you might want to ensure that you and your traveling companions are dressed appropriately before arriving at the lounge.

You’ll find this lounge on floor six of Terminal 1, nearby to the location of the ANA Lounge. It’s open from 5am to midnight every day, and is free for certain passengers flying with TAP Air Portugal, while other TAP Air Portugal travelers are able to pay for one-time access.

Consider a Priority Pass to save money on airport lounges

Note that in addition to paying at the airport for one-time access to a particular lounge, you might also want to consider buying a Priority Pass if you are a frequent traveler. The Priority Pass gives you three different types of membership that can give you access to airport lounges, including some of the lounges that are on offer to travelers at Lisbon Airport.

The plans are available either as standard, standard plus, or prestige, with varying fees to reflect the services and access that you can expect from the passes. Once you have a pass you can enter designated lounges for either a reduced fee or no charge, depending on the lounge and the type of Priority Pass that you own. But be sure to check before buying a pass whether the lounge that you want to use is covered by a pass.
