Fares bottom out in February around $134 and peak in March near $187 — a $53 spread across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Wizz Air Malta nonstop and takes about 4.5 hours outbound, on a 4-night trip. At $134 for 2,973 km each way, that works out to about $23 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $39 that medium-haul fares on this board typically run. Across the 5 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Bucharest, this fare ranks 2nd — 25% above the $107 from Madrid. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 11 routes of similar length we watch out of Lisbon, where the middle fare is $147.

LIS → OTP, answered.
Is $134 a good price for Lisbon to Bucharest?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $165 round-trip and this fare is 19% under it, about $31. 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 Lisbon to Bucharest?
Across 5 months of cached-fare history, Feb comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Bucharest are May–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LIS → Bucharest?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 5 months of cached fares, Feb comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Lisbon to Bucharest?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Wizz Air Malta). The outbound leg runs around 4.5 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.
