Regarding the T1/T2 discussion, the conclusion is the OP will be arriving and departing from T1.

The Lisbon Lounge is indeed nice (review
here). But the OP won't have access to it.

They're different lounges actually. The former is owned by Portway, whereas the latter is owned by Groundforce. The Blue Lounge is ok (review
here), but the OP will be much better using TP's Premium Lounge, (except for the restrooms).

I imagine the down-turn in traffic has made do-nothing the more attractive!
Actually T2 was already planned and built to also accomodate arrivals - that's why it has two floors. No additional construction works are therefore required. The discussion on what to do with it is still going on, but low-cost/charter remain the most likely option.

I think the same too. Bad marketing policy I guess...
