At Terminal 1 of Porto Airport, travelers can expect a streamlined experience due to its compact size. Arriving two hours before your flight is recommended for most travelers, while those with only carry-on luggage can comfortably arrive 1.5 hours prior. If checking in bags, plan for at least 1 hour and 15 minutes before your boarding time. Be aware that if you're flying outside the Schengen area, delays may occur during the passport check, which can become congested; the lines are organized, so Schengen passport holders should take advantage of the typically shorter line.

Crowdsourced tips for Time to Gates at Porto Airport - Terminal 1
The airport is very small and if you arrive at the airport two hours in advance you will be at your gate way ahead of time, 1 and half hours if you only have carry on, and 1 and 15 minutes if you have check-in bags. If you are flying to outside of Schengen area expect to be a bit delayed on the passport/identity check. Be aware that the passport checking area is not well designed: there are two lines, one for Schengen ID's and another one for all the other passports, usually there's a long line but go to the front if you have a Schengen passport or ID because is usually the case that that line is empty.
