The return flight is also about 2 hours and 20 minutes, so there's no meaningful difference in duration either way.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Lisbon to London?", "answer": "TAP Air Portugal and British Airways both fly non‑stop from Lisbon to London Heathrow, with a combined 130 weekly flights.

Coaches to Victoria and other UK destinations start from £10, while black cabs or pre-booked minicabs typically need at least an hour by road and car rentals are available on-site, though driving into London incurs congestion and ULEZ charges.
