Recent trips through Lisbon airport

Hi!
My sister in law is flying Friday night home from Lisbon to Boston via Tap215. Ticket says flight time 555pm Lisbon time, flight aware says 605pm. I have not received notice yet of delay, my email is only email connected to ticket as I booked it.

Will she need 3 or 4 hours before departure at the airport? Airports website says 120 min ( 2 hours) before non schegen flights. Tap says check SFC wait time for passport and document check in departures. We did 3 hours before our June flight home and used electronic passport reader. Lines were long at Tap counter to drop luggage in June and to get through security. 2 hours would have worked but 3 hours was great for my shopping upon departure.

Any recent reports from those of you who have flown from Lisbon to US. How much time did you need before your flight?

Thank you

I recently returned to the US on a Delta flight out of Lisbon to JFK and would say that 3 hours should be considered a minimum. If she can’t use the electronic passport readers, I’d add another hour. The line for being “inspected” by a real person was very long.
