[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume she is flying from the US.  So she’d need to clear customs and [b]then go through customs again[/b] when she came back.  I’d say 6 hours be the minimum amount of time to make that work. Also, is she [b]checking luggage?  That will complicate things.[/b]

This will sound like a weird option but one a 22yo might like.  If she does decide to leave the airport, the Vasco de Gama mall is even closer to the airport than the city center.  It’s actually a really pretty space with great food and shops.  [/quote]

Since the 2nd flight is to Spain, they will clear passport control in Lisbon, and upon leaving the airport will clear customs (really just using the green door when exiting baggage claim area).  When returning to the airport, there won't be passport control again because it's a flight to Spain, which is functionally a domestic flight, so just a standard security check.  The checked bags will be directed to the 2nd flight and come out at baggage claim in Spain, so no issues there- this is different than how it works in the US, where you have to collect checked bags upon arriving into the country and then recheck them.

Not sure about security lines at Lisbon airport, but my experience at other European airports when taking domestic/Schengen flights without checking a bag is that 75 minutes before arrival is fine.
