If anyone stumbles on a special discounted airfare into Lisbon or Porto Portugal, please post it here. Departing from any city and arriving in either Porto or in Lisbon and taking the train from Lisbon to Porto.

Just discovered on http://www.flytap.com:

* Miami to Porto (by way of Lisbon) $964.40 (roundtrip, taxes included)
* Newark to Porto $850.40 (roundtrip, taxes included)

Another strategy:
* Take Virgin: LA to London for $925 RT & RyanAir from London to Porto for 34 euros (roundtrip)

I'd recommend to avoid this strategy if you can help it.

The Virgin Airlines part would probably be great but you'd have a shock by flying on to Porto via RyanAir. i.e. No seat reservations, no in-flight freebies (all extra) - you might even have to pay for using the loo!! (This was seriously considered recently by RyanAir and might already have been implemented.)

I beleive RyanAir goes from london Stansted which is a long way from london Heathrow or Gatwick where Virgin travel to. Your probably better off with Easy jet for the last London Porto leg. Still a no frills Air line but not as bad as Ryan Air. Also look at this RyanAir link
http://www.ryanair.com/en/terms-and-conditions#regulations-tableoffees

You may find RyanAir is not so cheap after all

As said previously, the RyanAir flights go out of Stanstead which is a fair whack out of London. Easyjet departs from Gatwick which makes things a bit easier. I believe there are buses avaiable from Heathrow to Gatwick, or if you are in London, 30 mins on the train from London Bridge.

I got mine for £75 return. Isnt it incredible how cheap it is to fly around the world now!

Here's an interesting possibility if you're in Austin or in Boston (hey that rhymes :

Austin--> London LHR for $610 (RT w/tax)

Then take Tompty's suggested flight on EasyJet from Gatwick to Porto for 75 pounds RT

Leave: Tue, Sep 13 on Continental Airlines 34
Return: Tue, Sep 20 on Continental Airlines 35

American, KLM, Continental, United, & others have flights out of Boston for the same price.
