Hey everyone, how are ya?

I was looking into the azores, and I had a hard time trying to find a cheap way of getting there. I googled a bunch of airlines and the cheapest (peak season) fare i found was $300us for one way. Does anyone know of a cheaper way of getting there? perhaps a boat maybe? I so far couldn't find any companies to get a boat ride from. Does anyone know if theres a ferry. lol. It doesn't matter to me which island I land on first. Thanks for the help.

I looked into going out there whilst in Portugal and it was very expensive and couldn't afford it at the time. $300 might actually be a GOOD price

i have been researching this trip for nearly a year now and i cant find a flight for less than £350 so i think $300 is a bloody amazing price, is that going from portugal or the states?

$300 from where?

Here are prices from Boston on Azores Express:

Flights from the UK:

There's also Portugal's own SATA:

But yeah, it looks like $300 is a pretty sweet deal!

It's a one way flight from Lisbon, Portugal. Why is it so darn expensive? It sounds extremely beautiful in the Azores. I think maybe I'll work an extra little while in london, so I can splurge an Azore trip in. Thanks guys.
