What VIE to LIS looks like
The VIE to LIS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Vienna VIE to Lisbon LIS is a medium haul sector of 2,305 km by great circle, flown nonstop about twice a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 2,305 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 3h 27m.
Vienna VIE is a major hub in the network held here, 200 scheduled destinations and 414.4 departures a day. Lisbon LIS has 154 destinations and 367.9 departures a day.
Lisbon is one hour behind of Vienna 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 VIE to LIS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIE to LIS | 2.14 | 15 | Ryanair, TAP Air Portugal |
| LIS to VIE | 2.14 | 15 | 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 30 departures a week on VIE 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 3h 27m block time on VIE 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 VIE | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At VIE before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| VIE to LIS in the air, estimated | 207 min | 7h 57m |
| Formalities at LIS | 90 min | 9h 27m |
| Delivery run in Lisbon | 45 min | 10h 12m |

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 VIE to LIS is 10h 12m.

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. 88 of them join VIE to LIS.
| Connecting at | VIE to hub, flights a day | Hub to LIS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Milan LIN | 5.86 | 1 | 2,314 | 5h 05m |
| Bilbao BIO | 0.57 | 1.86 | 2,323 | 5h 07m |
| Ibiza IBZ | 2.14 | 2.29 | 2,504 | 5h 12m |
| Lyon LYS | 1.43 | 3.57 | 2,309 | 5h 12m |
| Geneva GVA | 2.86 | 7.14 | 2,313 | 5h 13m |
| Florence FLR | 2.86 | 1.29 | 2,417 | 5h 13m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at VIE in the afternoon actually flies on.
88 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Milan LIN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through LIN the routing covers 2,314 km against the 2,305 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 05m 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 38m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bilbao BIO at 5h 07m and Ibiza IBZ at 5h 12m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Vienna, Bratislava BTS is 48 km away by great circle and carries 88 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.
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.
Vienna VIE is shut to scheduled movements between 23:30 and 05:30 local, so a collection in Vienna that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Lisbon.
Vienna VIE, night restrictions: Movements between 23:30 and 05:30 local are limited.

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 VIE 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.
