When this route gets cheap.
Fares bottom out in November around $764 and peak in October near $1,073, 40% dearer, across the 9 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 12 hours outbound, on a 26-night trip — ticketed under Iberia, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $764 for 7,715 km each way, that works out to about $50 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 per 1,000 km typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 22 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Rio de Janeiro, this fare ranks 9th — 57% above the $487 from New York. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 29 routes of similar length we watch out of Lisbon, where the middle fare is $770. The best time to be in Rio de Janeiro: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.

Good to know
LIS → RIO, answered.
Is $764 a good price for Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro?
Only slightly. The seasonal median is around $890 round-trip and this fare is 14% under it. 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 Rio de Janeiro?
Across 9 months of cached-fare history, Nov comes out cheapest on this route. The best months to actually be in Rio de Janeiro are Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct — when those overlap, that's your window.
How far in advance should I book LIS → Rio de Janeiro?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 9 months of cached fares, Nov 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 Rio de Janeiro?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Iberia. 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.
