Lisbon airport lounges: every lounge, who gets in and what it costs
Lisbon has three lounges, all in Terminal 1, and none in Terminal 2. One is run by the airport and sells entry to anyone; two belong to TAP and sit either side of passport control. Which one suits you depends on two things: whether you are flying TAP, and whether your flight leaves from the Schengen or the non-Schengen gates. Here is each lounge as its operator describes it, with prices where the operator publishes them.
The short answer
Flying TAP, use the TAP Premium Lounge Tejo for flights within Schengen Europe and the Atlântico for London, the Americas and Africa; if you are not entitled, TAP sells entry from €28. On any other airline, the ANA Lounge on floor 6 by gate 22 is the one to book: it takes any passenger for a fee, admits Priority Pass and DragonPass members, and opens at 04:00 for early departures. Flying from Terminal 2, there is no lounge at all, so use its cafés.

Best forTAP passengers on non-Schengen flights who want to clear passport control first and relax near the gate.
Is a lounge worth it at Lisbon?
For a short wait, usually not: Terminal 1 has a market-style food hall and plenty of cafés, and the ANA Lounge caps every visit at three hours. It earns its fee on an early departure, when it opens at 04:00 and fast track at 05:00, or on a long delay, when a quiet seat, a shower and a view of the runway beat a crowded gate.
For TAP passengers the sums are simpler. Entry bought from TAP starts at €28 and comes with hot food and, at Tejo, a cocktail bar, so on a long-haul connection or a late evening flight it is good value against airport prices.

Schengen or non-Schengen: the choice that matters
Lisbon's gates are split by passport control. Flights within the Schengen area leave from one side; the UK, the Americas and everywhere else outside Schengen from the other. The ANA Lounge sits before passport control, so it works for both, but on a non-Schengen flight you must leave yourself time to queue through the border afterwards, where non-EU passports are now recorded as leaving.
TAP has split its lounges the same way: Tejo is on the Schengen side, Atlântico beyond passport control. If you are flying TAP to London or New York, go through passport control and use Atlântico, so the queue is behind you before you sit down.
Flying from Terminal 2
No. Terminal 2 is a simple departures building for Eurowings, Norwegian, Ryanair, Transavia, Volotea, Vueling and Wizz Air, with cafés and shops but no lounge. The ANA Lounge is airside in Terminal 1, while Terminal 2 is a separate building reached by the free shuttle from Terminal 1 departures, so a lounge visit and a Terminal 2 flight do not mix. Use the cafés in Terminal 2 instead, and save the lounge for a trip with another airline.
Lounges with children
Yes. Under-2s enter the ANA Lounge free with an adult, and its private booths are the easiest place to settle a small child. TAP admits children only with a responsible adult and does not serve them alcohol. Neither operator lists a family room or play area, so a lounge here is about a quiet corner and food on hand rather than entertainment. The airport lends free pushchairs after security in Terminal 1.
With Priority Pass, DragonPass or an Amex
The ANA Lounge is the only Lisbon lounge listed by Priority Pass and the only one accepting DragonPass. American Express lists it for Platinum Card holders too. Priority Pass notes that entry is not guaranteed and may be restricted between 06:00 and 16:00 when space runs short, and that complimentary alcohol is limited to three drinks. If you are travelling in that window and cannot risk a refusal, a pre-booked slot on the airport's website secures a place. The TAP lounges do not take these cards.
Three, all in Terminal 1: the ANA Lounge, open to any passenger for a fee, and TAP's Premium Lounge Tejo (Schengen) and Premium Lounge Atlântico (non-Schengen). Terminal 2 has none.
Can I use a lounge at Lisbon without flying business?
Yes. The ANA Lounge sells entry to any passenger on the airport's website or app, and TAP sells entry to its lounges from €28 through Manage your Booking, online check-in, its kiosks and counters or its contact centre.
What time does the lounge open at Lisbon airport?
The ANA Lounge opens at 04:00 and closes at 23:00. The two TAP lounges open from 05:00 to midnight.
Does Priority Pass work at Lisbon airport?
Yes, at the ANA Lounge on floor 6 of Terminal 1, near gate 22. Stays are limited to three hours, and entry may be restricted between 06:00 and 16:00 when the lounge is full.
Which Lisbon lounge is best for a flight to London?
On TAP, the Atlântico lounge beyond passport control. On British Airways, the ANA Lounge, where BA is one of the airport's partner airlines; leave time for passport control after it.
Does the ANA Lounge in Lisbon have showers?
Yes. The airport lists a shower kit among its services, and American Express notes that showers carry a charge.
How much does the TAP lounge in Lisbon cost?
TAP sells entry from €28, or 5,544 miles. The price varies with where and when you buy, the travel date and the route, and is shown in Manage your Booking.
