They know much more about the topic, but MEX would be top of my priority list

on OPO-BRU, if they cannot make this work, none of the above will.
it started as a double daily
now it's a single flight 5x weekly.
Together with SN all departures (up to 3 a day for which they codeshare) ex-BRU are between 10:15-13:40. hardly business and even leisure suitable.
Anecdotally a friend of mine was always flying OPO-BRU via LIS as the direct flight (evening flight) was outrageously expensive, and every time he took was fairly full (including Euro MP's and staff onboard)
I'm puzzled myself as well. LIM is allegedly justified with the argument that there are no nonstop flights to Europe on Star Alliance carriers and BEY with connecting traffic to Brazil.
