Travel / How to Get There
Flight
Azorean Airlines, TAP
***Boston – Azorean Airlines direct Boston (BOS) to Ponta Delagda (PDL). Direct flights are $650-$750 RT. They may dip to $550-650 but could also rise. We would recommend booking if under $750. ***West Coast – Azorean Airlines also operates Oakland CA to PDL flights. However, they tend to be expensive, look at flying into Lisbon (LIS) or Porto (OPO) for better prices (see below). ***Everywhere else – departures from other cities must go through Portugal (Lisbon “LIS” or Porto “OPO”). Buy a round trip flight to either Lisbon or Porto and book *a separate flight* to Ponta Delaga. Flights to Porto or Lisbon from New York airports (NYC) are currently $500-550 RT non-stop. Flights to Ponta Delgada from Lisbon or Porto are $150-200. The two flights combined should be $650-750. It also gives you option to spend more time in Portugal / elsewhere in Europe + make it a vacation :)
