About This Route
The São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) to Lisbon Humberto Delgado (LIS) route is one of the most important transatlantic corridors linking South America to Europe. The flight takes approximately 10 hours and is served by TAP Air Portugal (the dominant carrier with up to 14 weekly flights), LATAM Airlines, and connecting services via hubs like Dubai, London, and Paris. This is the top European gateway for Brazilians — over 30,000 Brazilians emigrate to Portugal annually, creating strong year-round demand.
The cheapest fares are found during Brazil's low season (April–June) and European shoulder season (September–November). December through February (Brazilian summer) is peak travel and fares spike significantly. TAP offers the best direct option with Airbus A330neo service and often has promotional fares through its Iberia and Azores partnerships. Book 6–10 weeks ahead for best prices. Both Guarulhos Airport and Lisbon Airport offer excellent connections.
