To Lisbon

Lisbon is well served by all the above-listed airlines, as well as Portugal’s own airline, Tap Portugal (www.flytap.com).

To Seville

Seville is the least well served airport. BA-Iberia operate there with daily direct flights from London Gatwick, but flights from Amsterdam or Berlin, for example, are via Heathrow or Gatwick. Easyjet also fly direct to Seville daily from Gatwick. Ryanair provide a daily flight from London Stanstead and Brussels, while Dublin fares less well with three flights a week.

All information is correct at the time of writing (2017) but it is vital to do your own research.
