From
Aeroporto station, inside the arrivals building
To
Cascais, changing from the red line to the green line at Alameda, then from the metro to CP's own trains at Cais do Sodré
Luggage
No stated limit on either the metro or CP's trains.
Runs
06:30–23:00
Journey
58–75 min

Two separate tickets on the same Navegante card: tap through the metro gates, then buy or validate CP's own ticket again at Cais do Sodré — the systems do not talk to each other automatically.

CP's trains to Cascais are frequent — every 15 minutes at the morning peak, every 20 to 30 off it — so the metro and the change at Alameda, not the Cascais line itself, decide how long the trip takes.

The fastest CP trains take 33 minutes; a few scheduled ones take longer with a stop pattern that adds time rather than a change of train.

The fastest CP trains take 40 minutes; roughly every other scheduled departure takes 44 to 54 minutes instead, with a change of its own partway — check which kind a departure is before you plan around it.

Overnight, CP's own trains stop entirely from about 01:01 to 05:41; nothing here bridges that gap.
