2) One needs to take a bus or taxi to Lisboa Sete Rios Long Distance Bus Station.
3) From there one gets a "Rede-Expressos" ( http://www.rede-expressos.pt ) bus to Serta.
To travel from the Airport to Lisboa Sete-Rios Bus Station take the Aerobus Line 2 Bus from outside the main arrivals hall at the Airport. The service runs every 40 minutes from 07:30 to 22.00. Takes about 25 minutes depending on traffic.

If you miss this bus, the next one is at 15:45 arriving 19:45.
