Barcelona to Lisbon has more options but usually cost a lot more than say Barcelona and someplace higher on the destination food chain I'd rather go. Strangely enough, it was a lot more expensive trying to fly TAP directly from the US to Lisbon. But next to nothing as an add-on from Helsinki. Point being, I was going to have to connect somewhere in Europe anyway. I doesn't matter to me where.

But Helsinki is sooooooo far away.
Are there really no good flights to Lisbon? That should be like a 6 hour flight. Instead you'll be doing like 9 to Helsinki and then 4 back to Lisbon.
