Europe adds low-cost-carrier tradeoffs

Portugal is reachable through full-service and low-cost European networks. A cheap connection can be less attractive once sports baggage is added, so compare the operating carrier on every segment.

  • Check sports-equipment prepayment rules.
  • Watch bag length and weight limits.
  • For the islands, check the regional carrier separately.
