744 and 783 connects Lisbon city centre and the airport.
Here are some useful bus routes:
727 - Passes by Marquęs de Pombal Square and goes all the way to Belem, via the neighborhood of Santos.
728 - Useful for getting between Belem and Oriente along the river, via Cais do Sodré. Faster than the 15E tram.
737 - Mini bus going from Figueira Square to Saint George's Castle via Alfama, if you don't want to climb up to the castle. But walk back down to the center, stopping at the viewpoints along the way.
744 - From the airport via Saldanha to Marquęs de Pombal by Avenida da Liberdade.
783 - From north of the airport, via Avenida da Republica to Marques de Pombal and then on to Amoreiras Shopping Center

What are options for a very early (745am) departure? Looks like Aerobus and metro arent working in time. Taxi only?

Either night bus 208 (which takes forever!), a taxi, or uber (10-15 mins). A taxi from the historic center shouldn't be more than 10-15€, an uber will be 8-12€.

There's now another fare option - 9€ 24-hour pass which includes the boat (transtejo) to Cacilhas/Almada [where the Christ statue and a bunch of great seafood places are located]

I updated the wiki.
