The Los Angeles–Lisbon route
Los Angeles to Lisbon is a transatlantic search from a US airport. You leave Los Angeles International (LAX) and land at Humberto Delgado (LIS) in Portugal, about 5,678 miles away. This city pair is usually a connecting trip: about 5,678 miles of flying, with the shortest timed itineraries near 11.5 hours plus a layover.
For LAX–LIS we show about $529 on the low end and around $900 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. Long-haul sale banners expire; a $529 one-way is a planning floor, not a coupon. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.
Search LAX to LIS on Azurovia, compare airline-direct and travel-site totals on the same flights, then finish with the seller. We do not ticket. Keep their confirmation for changes.
Distance and time LAX–LIS
Los Angeles and Lisbon sit about 5,678 miles apart. If a nonstop is missing from LAX, timed itineraries near 11.5 hours of flying usually mean one long-haul plus a shorter feeder — not two equal hops.
Lisbon is about 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles on standard time (America/Los_Angeles vs Europe/Lisbon). Arrival clocks on LIS are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
Most Los Angeles–Lisbon journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from LAX. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at John F. Kennedy International (JFK), Newark Liberty International (EWR), O'Hare International (ORD). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.
