Terminal
Every flight — from TAP’s short hops to Delta’s daily run to New York JFK, launching 21 May 2026 — leaves from the same three-storey glass building; OpenStreetMap maps no second terminal anywhere on the airfield. easyJet opened its second Portuguese base here in March 2015, with two Airbus A320 stationed on site, and ANA now counts more than 100 direct destinations from Porto.
ANA recommends being at the check-in desk 90 minutes ahead for Schengen flights, 120 minutes for non-Schengen European flights, and 180 minutes for intercontinental ones — with online check-in opening 48 hours out for most airlines (24 hours for the US and Switzerland). Check-in works through the ANA app, airline counters or the Self Check-In kiosks in the terminal.
Security screening is a walk-through metal detector plus an X-ray of hand baggage, with laptops and liquids (in a transparent bag) taken out beforehand. Fast Track — officially the “Security Express Channel” in ANA’s own regulatory filings — is a bookable priority lane at Porto, Lisbon, Faro, Madeira and Ponta Delgada; it does not shorten check-in or boarding itself.
Metro Line E (Purple) stops right at the terminal and runs to Estádio do Dragão in the city every 20 to 30 minutes depending on the time of day; STCP and the private operator Resende run the airport’s bus connections into town.
ANA calls its reduced-mobility programme MyWay in Porto. Fold the request into the booking itself, or get word to the airline at least two clear days ahead if you decide later — either way, a mix of mechanical aids and dedicated staff then escorts you the whole way, from the curb to your aircraft seat. Reduced-mobility bays sit close to the exits in every car park ANA runs on the grounds.
