London to Porto
Sá Carneiro is an easy airport by Iberian standards: one long runway, no terrain to work around and none of Lisbon’s congestion, which is why it is often the better arrival for the whole of northern Portugal and the Douro. Summer weekends are the exception — ask for the return slot at the same time as the outbound.

Which jets fit at each end.
Every airport on this route takes all 70 jets on runway length, so the choice comes down to range, cabin and price.
| Airport | Runway | Elevation | Jets that fit | Largest that fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farnborough (FAB) Departure | 2,440 m | 73 m | 70 of 70 | VIP airliner |
| Luton (LTN) Departure | 2,162 m | 160 m | 70 of 70 | VIP airliner |
| Porto (OPO) Arrival | 3,480 m | 69 m | 70 of 70 | VIP airliner |
Rule of thumb: published take-off distance at maximum weight, sea level, a standard day and a dry runway. Altitude, weather and airport rules can still rule out an aircraft the runway allows. Check any airport in the runway checker
