Fares bottom out in October around $85 and peak in December near $196 — a $111 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Ryanair nonstop and takes about 2.5 hours outbound, on a 3-night trip. At $85 for 1,468 km each way, that works out to about $29 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $41 typical of short-haul fares here. Across the 10 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Porto, this fare ranks 5th — 47% above the $58 from Milan. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 14 routes of similar length we watch out of Brussels, where the middle fare is $87.

BRU → OPO, answered.
Is $85 a good price for Brussels to Porto?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $100 round-trip and this fare is 15% under it, about $15. We do not call a drop notable until 20%, so this is an ordinary price for the route rather than a reason to hurry.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Brussels to Porto?
Across 4 months of cached-fare history, Oct comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Porto are May–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book BRU → Porto?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Brussels to Porto?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Ryanair). The outbound leg runs around 2.5 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
