What LIS to STR looks like

The LIS to STR sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.

Lisbon LIS to Stuttgart STR is a medium haul sector of 1,833 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.

The sector is held by Eurowings.

At the cruise speed this site models for 1,833 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 50m.

Lisbon LIS is a major hub in the network held here, 154 scheduled destinations and 367.9 departures a day. Stuttgart STR has 127 destinations and 137.3 departures a day.

Lisbon carries about 2.7 times the departures of Stuttgart, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.

Stuttgart is one hour ahead of Lisbon all year.

The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

Who flies the sector, and how often

Average daily frequencies on LIS to STR from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.

Direction	Flights a day	Flights a week	Operated by
LIS to STR	1.29	9	Eurowings
STR to LIS	0.86	6	Eurowings

One carrier holds the sector, Eurowings, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.

The two directions are not level: LIS to STR runs about once a day, the return runs 6 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.

Between them the two directions put about 15 departures a week on LIS to STR, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.

The clock from collection to signature

The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 50m block time on LIS to STR. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

Stage	Allowed	Elapsed
Collection and the run to LIS	90 min	1h 30m
At LIS before departure	180 min	4h 30m
LIS to STR in the air, estimated	170 min	7h 20m
Formalities at STR	90 min	8h 50m
Delivery run in Stuttgart	45 min	9h 35m
Door to door	575 min	9h 35m

On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LIS to STR is 9h 35m.

A courier who leaves Lisbon at 09:00 local is on the ground in Stuttgart at about 12:50 local and at the door by 15:05 the same day.

Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Stuttgart, the last useful departure from Lisbon is around 11:55 local.

When the nonstop does not work

Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 57 of them join LIS to STR.

Connecting at	LIS to hub, flights a day	Hub to STR, flights a day	Track, km	Estimated, gate to gate
Bilbao BIO	2	0.71	1,834	4h 29m
Porto OPO	11.43	1.14	1,905	4h 44m
Faro FAO	2.86	1.14	2,124	4h 46m
Ibiza IBZ	2.29	1.14	2,169	4h 46m
Zurich ZRH	6.71	2.71	1,869	4h 55m
Nice NCE	3.57	0.71	2,048	4h 58m

One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at LIS in the afternoon actually flies on.

57 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bilbao BIO, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.

Through BIO the routing covers 1,834 km against the 1,833 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 29m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.

That is only 1h 39m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.

Behind it, Porto OPO at 4h 44m and Faro FAO at 4h 46m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

If nothing suitable leaves Lisbon, Faro FAO is 222 km away by great circle and carries 87 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

If nothing suitable leaves Stuttgart, Zurich ZRH is 145 km away by great circle and carries 223 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Restricted hours at either end

Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.

Stuttgart STR is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Lisbon late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.

Stuttgart STR, night restrictions: No scheduled movements between 23:30 and 06:00 local.

Read back down the sector, a departure from Lisbon later than about 19:40 local arrives at STR after it has closed for the night, on the 2h 50m block time above.

Where this came from, and where to look next

Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.

Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LIS to STR in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.

If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
