LIS is NOT an airport for efficient, stress-free connections !!
I do agree with you. And I would add that several destinations will now have same-day connections to GIG, GRU and BSB, without need for a stopover anymore ― it's the case of CPH, OSL, ARN, PRG, BUD, ZAG, VCE or BLQ. But connectivity also improves from GRU, GIG and BSB, because overall this schedule fits better JJ's departures and arrivals.
The only problem is that the new European destinations of TP (WAW, HEL e DME) have schedules which were adjusted the former Brazil schedules (and partially LAD). This means they now are totally unfit for any connection to Brazil. It's the case of HEL (departure from LIS at 22h20 and arrival at 08h35) and WAW (departure from LIS at 16h50 and arrival at 09h05). I'd therefe expect some further schedule changes in these destinations.
