Azores Airlines is currently offering cheaper than usual flights to Ponta Delgada in the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago known for its stunning vistas, colorful food, exceptional wine, and top-notch hiking trails. Travelers can find great fares in economy for flights departing from New York and Boston. All flights arrive at Ponta Delgada Airport (PDL) on Sao Miguel, the largest island in the Azores.
To book these deals, travelers can browse Google Flights or book directly with Azores Airlines. The travel dates for these deals are available from February to April and June through September. It’s advised to book as soon as possible to secure these discounted fares.
The deal was originally shared by Going, a travel website that offers up to 90% off select flights through its Premium membership. Users can try the Premium membership for free for 14 days and then pay $49 per year. There is also an Elite tier available for $199 per year, which includes all the Premium deals as well as premium economy, business-class, and first-class alerts.
At the time of writing, the following flights were priced as listed, but availability is not guaranteed:
1. Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) to PDL for $484, with one stop on the return leg (available February to March).
2. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to PDL for $493, nonstop (available February to April and September to December).
The cheapest economy option found departs from Boston in early or late March and returns two weeks later for $484. This itinerary includes a nonstop outbound flight and a three-hour layover at Lajes Airport (TER) on Terceira Island during the return journey. This gives travelers two full weeks to explore Ponta Delgada and enjoy island hopping before heading home.
For a slightly higher price, travelers can fly nonstop in both directions from JFK for $493 during various months throughout the year. There is plenty of availability during the listed months for one- or two-week breaks.
All economy simple fares include a carry-on bag and a personal item. Travelers looking to include one checked bag weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 pounds) can upgrade to an economy basic fare for an additional $30 when booking.
To maximize the purchase, it is recommended to use a credit card that earns bonus points on airfare purchases.
In conclusion, if Europe is on your travel bucket list, Ponta Delgada in the Azores is a great destination with ample opportunity to explore neighboring islands or regions in and around Portugal. Azores Airlines is currently offering great deals on economy flights throughout the year. Book as soon as possible to take advantage of these discounted fares and enjoy the stunning vistas, colorful food, exceptional wine, and top-notch hiking trails of the Azores.
