What TLS to LIS looks like
The TLS to LIS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Toulouse TLS to Lisbon LIS is a short sector of 1,029 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,029 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 49m.
Toulouse TLS is a large airport in the network held here, 90 scheduled destinations and 100.6 departures a day. Lisbon LIS has 154 destinations and 367.9 departures a day.
Lisbon carries about 3.7 times the departures of Toulouse, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Lisbon is one hour behind of Toulouse 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 TLS to LIS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLS to LIS | 2.86 | 20 | Ryanair, TAP Air Portugal |
| LIS to TLS | 2.86 | 20 | Ryanair, TAP Air Portugal |
Two carriers hold the sector, Ryanair and TAP Air Portugal, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
Between them the two directions put about 40 departures a week on TLS to LIS, 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 1h 49m block time on TLS to LIS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to TLS | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At TLS before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| TLS to LIS in the air, estimated | 109 min | 6h 19m |
| Formalities at LIS | 90 min | 7h 49m |
| Delivery run in Lisbon | 45 min | 8h 34m |
| Door to door | 514 min | 8h 34m |
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 TLS to LIS is 8h 34m.
A courier who leaves Toulouse at 09:00 local is on the ground in Lisbon at about 09:49 local and at the door by 12:04 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Lisbon, the last useful departure from Toulouse is around 14:56 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. 51 of them join TLS to LIS.
| Connecting at | TLS to hub, flights a day | Hub to LIS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seville SVQ | 0.71 | 3.29 | 1,245 | 3h 39m |
| Porto OPO | 1 | 11.43 | 1,142 | 3h 45m |
| Madrid MAD | 3 | 21.86 | 1,049 | 4h 02m |
| Nantes NTE | 3.14 | 2.29 | 1,568 | 4h 05m |
| Malaga AGP | 0.57 | 3.43 | 1,389 | 4h 07m |
| Palma PMI | 2.57 | 2.86 | 1,495 | 4h 15m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at TLS in the afternoon actually flies on.
51 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Seville SVQ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through SVQ the routing covers 1,245 km against the 1,029 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 39m 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 50m 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 3h 45m and Madrid MAD at 4h 02m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Toulouse, Bordeaux BOD is 213 km away by great circle and carries 84 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
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.

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 TLS to LIS 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.
