@Hace79 I sympathise with you and hope BA is lenient with you however Lisbon is well known for having horrendous queues at the passport control. It is also compounded by the fact that BA more often than not is a bus to the plane and the ground staff often close the gate upstairs a couple of minutes early as everybody needs to go downstairs and board a bus to the plane. The gate used is also often one of the very last on the pier so the recommendation is to not dawdle and to be at the gate no later than t-25.
