Thanks for all of the comments!
I don't, although on the return sector I did have to clean one of the windows with a tissue as it was rather dirty!
The metro was extended to the airport in 2012.
I did! Some of my photos in Day 3 above are from Belém.
Do you head out to Belém? Good place to visit too.

Awesome TR! When I first started scrolling down the pictures, I was struck by how much nicer is CX's lounge in comparison to AA. Made me feel vaguely proud.
Your photos really captured the mood of Lisbon! Hopefully I will get to visit soon!

That was a really good read! I'm off to Lisbon on Sunday for 3 nights so it was nice to see a trip report on the city. I know I've got one less day there than you but would you recommend getting the train up to Sintra? Is it something that could be achievable in a just a morning or an afternoon?

Somehow I missed this.....which is unusual as you usually give your new reports a good plug elsewhere.
Despite you saying otherwise I've not been to Lisbon.
It does look a lovely city I see the jacaranda trees were in flower when you were there. Hotel looks pretty good and the flight isn't all that long so rather than pay for an upgrade a seat in economy makes sense especially if you have lounge access.
Very nice report. ^

Thanks for the recent comments!
Apologies, I only just saw the latest comments! How was your trip? I probably would've said give Sintra a miss if you only have a morning or afternoon, as there is plenty to see and do in Lisbon city centre. Did you end up going?
