Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
For flights within Portugal, the country's national carrier is TAP ( www.flytap.com ) .
For flights between Lisbon and other cities in Europe, also try Iberia ( www.iberia.com ) ,
Vueling Airlines ( www.vueling.com ) , and easyJet ( www.easyjet.com ) .
Be aware of the potential drawbacks of flying on the cheap: nonrefundable and non-
changeable tickets, minimal or nonexistent customer service, treks to airports far outside
town, and stingy baggage allowances with steep overage fees. If you're traveling with lots
of luggage, a cheap flight can quickly become a bad deal. To avoid unpleasant surprises,
read the small print before you book.

Resources from Rick Steves
Rick Steves' Portugal is one of many books in my series on European travel, which in-
cludes country guidebooks, city guidebooks (Rome, Florence, Paris, London, etc.), Snap-
shot guides (excerpted chapters from my country guides), Pocket Guides (full-color little
books on big cities), and my budget-travel skills handbook, Rick Steves' Europe Through
the Back Door . Most of my titles are available as ebooks. My phrase books—for Por-
tuguese, Spanish, German, French, and Italian—are practical and budget-oriented. My
other books include Europe 101 (a crash course on art and history), Mediterranean Cruise
Ports (how to make the most of your time in port), and Travel as a Political Act (a
travelogue sprinkled with tips for bringing home a global perspective). A more complete
list of my titles appears near the end of this topic.
