The lounge won't help - they can't rebook you or check you in. You should be able to get your BP in DUB. If not, and you do plan on visiting the lounge, there's a set of set of automated kiosks and check-in desks not too far from passport control. These are next to the security check you'll need to go through after passport control.
Hmmm, decisions

There is a transfer counter next to passport control, which you will inevitably need to go through. If worse comes to worst, you can always pick up your BP there and you can ask anyone where this is (also, if you go to the TAP Lounge, they will give you directions, since it's where they send people to purchase a lounge pass, as well).

Hello,
TAP Premium Lounge is only available for J Classes traveling on Tap and StarAlliance Gold. Next door there is another lounge called ANA Lounge which you can access (even in transit) since you travel in class J. See the link : https://www.ana.pt/en/lis/services-s...ces/ana-lounge

ANA you can also access with a lounge pass, like priority pass.

You should check into your DUB-LIS flight. If they can't issue a BP, just have them cancel the check-in and check you in again.

This lounge was a high disappointment - mediocre even by low US standards. At 8am today it was Overcrowded and a horrible selection of high carb or high fat foods. Bathroom smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in days. Some very sketch looking clientele as well. Next time I will try a priority pass option.
no kidding! At least 30m for non-EU citizens at 8:30am today. No fast track for business class.

I'm no TP apologist, but the lounge is good. Definitely better than any US airline lounge.
8AM-10AM is peak of the peak with both the westbound bank and the European bank of flights departing simultaneously.
and a horrible selection of high carb or high fat foods.
Come back after 10AM for the lunch/dinner spread.
Bathroom smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in days.

Tried the new TAP lounge at opening on June 22nd. It was a rudhed visit because the lojnge opened @ 5 and my flight left @ 6.
Celebrated my 71st b-day by having a quick bite to eat: a nice roll, some meat and cheese and some carrots. Nice coffee too. A nice "wake-up treat".
This was after a 4 (or so) hour wait before the departure security worked properly ... There was some issue at midnight with entering - I had my boarding pass for my 6 am LIS - OPO flight, so I just found a chair and dozed a bit in it until about 4:30 ... No food on the short 40 minute flight - just a mini chocolate bar and water. Still welcome 😉

Overall, I'm cool with this lounge. It's a little chaotic at times, sure, but it's decent. And I'd take it over the ANA and most US lounges (or the PP ones in MAN) anyday.
Yes there are better, but this one serves the purpose with a lot of Portuguese items which is nice.

Good evening
I’ll be flying from ZRH to RAK over LIS tomorrow and I’m wondering how far in advance one should leave the lounge to go through passport control, I’ve heard it to be quite hectic at times.
Specifically we’ll arrive at LIS at 08:10 on TP929 and depart to RAK at 09:25 on TP1456. At an airport like MUC or ZRH that would be no big deal and a Lounge visit would be easily doable, however, I haven’t been in LIS for over a decade and I’wondering what the more frequent LIS travelers think: Is it possible to visit the lounge on this layover? If yes when should we head towards passport control? Or do we need to directly head towards our connecting flight?
Cheers!

Took us 30 minutes for passport control at that hour when the lines were supposedly shorter than normal. So no lounge time for you. No loss, believe me.

Best to get yourself through the passport business (busy as that time). If you breeze through you'll have time to buy yourself a coffee on the other side, and enjoy it in comfort.
