Looking at spending our last night in Portugal in Obidos which will be a Sunday. Flight options for Monday morning are 0730 or 1030. Wondering if we could leave Obidos early (very early) Monday morning to reach the airport in time for the 1030 flight?

We have driven from Obidos to Lisbon Airport to return a rental car which gave us a bit more leeway as far as time. Google maps says 47 minutes to an hour. We seem to remember (it was 4 years ago) that it may have taken about an hour. For a 10:30am flight do you want to get there at 7:30 as they usually recommend? Are you driving a rental car? Can you return your rental car that early? We drove mid morning but you may be arriving in Lisbon during commute hours which could add some time. Depending on the time you want to arrive you might want to plan on 1.5 to 2 hours to be on the safe side.

Thank you but silly me I forgot to mention that we are not renting a car but relying on public transportation. Probably not a good idea to spend the last night so far from the airport. Anyone know about hotels close to the airport? Then we could catch the earliest flight.

Sorry, but in that case our info is not helpful at all and we have no experience with public transportation. You might check the site below for info. I've looked at it but can't figure out the hours of public transportation. If the prices are accurate, a taxi might be reasonable. Good luck! http://www.rome2rio.com/s/%C3%93bidos/Lisbon-Airport-LIS-Portugal
