When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in February around $174 and peak in October near $257, 48% dearer, across the 5 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 5 hours outbound, on a 7-night trip — ticketed under AL, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $174 for 2,973 km each way, that works out to about $29 per 1,000 km flown. That is well under the $43 per 1,000 km 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 3rd — 1.7× the $103 we hold 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 $174. The best time to be in Bucharest: May–Jun · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
LIS → OTP, answered.
Is $174 a good price for Lisbon to Bucharest?
Yes — the seasonal median for this route is around $220 round-trip. At $174 you're 21% below that, which we rate good for this route.
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We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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. Our guide Why flight prices change covers what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Lisbon to Bucharest?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under AL. We hold no nonstop fare on this route right now, which does not mean none flies — search your exact dates to see what does.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). 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.
