VIE might be because BA and OW were already in negotiation/anticipating the tie up with Air Berlin (and consequently, Niki) - both of which have significant operations at VIE.
Or maybe just lots of O&D traffic and not so much connecting?

LIS perhaps because (a) they needed another SH destination and LIS made "geographical sense" with all the Spanish destinations already there, or (b) Willie's burning desire to buy TAP for IAG
