:) it should be beter and faster now :) we fixed some of the most problematic 
areas :) dough the ticket is a bit pricy extra 40 € go and return. (and 
transportation from airport to train, taxy/bus/shutle) 
Dough it provdes the bonus of having a nice scenery over lisbon (must see city 
in portugal).
If you can, chose oporto airport its much faster, and quite a modern airport.
