- Lisbon Airport’s Terminal 1 handles most arrivals; the terminal has free WiFi but limited charging stations—bring a portable charger
- If booking separate tickets (e.g., Vilnius-Berlin, Berlin-Lisbon), allow at least 3 hours between flights to account for potential delays and security re-clearance
