Transit in LIS
I'm thinking of doing a Mileage run to LIS.
I want to depart on the same aircraft as I was inbound.
When disembarking in LIS - will the passengers be segregated from the departing passengers, i.e. one need to go through customs/Security first, before getting into the departure hall - or will the passengers disembark straight into the departure lounge, where the passengers for the outbound flight is waiting?
Thanks

Hi!
You'll have to go through immigration and then customs. After that, you'll be in the Arrivals Lounge, which is less then 5 mins. walk away from the check-in area and security control for international departures.
LIS is not the most pleasant airport for transit (you get bused all the time and the airport is rather small for the amount of traffic it has), but at least you'll be able to find your way easily.
Enjoy your ride

If you arrive from a non-Schengen country you will have to "enter" Portugal through passport-control. After that you can follow "transfer/connections" signs into the departure area.
If you arrive from another Schengen country and get an airbridge it's easier, you are immediately in the common departure area when you exit the aircraft.
Now, quite how a Schengen arrival from a remote stand works .........

After the bus drops you off, you go upstairs and you arrive directly in the Shengen departure area. No extra security check. (At least that’s how it was last time I connected in LIS, a few weeks ago. But I remember vaguely having gone trough security on arrival in the past.)
