Price and when to book
The lowest price we found is €275 per person return. The median sits at €293, giving you a solid reference point: most fares fall in that range. The prices sampled (€275, €293, €343) show there's room for variation. The key is booking early: the longer you wait, the less chance you'll grab those €275 deals. Your chosen dates matter too: journeys in January like the example (8–11 January) can work well, but availability varies.
Airline and stops
Ryanair is your sole option on this route. The outbound flight has 2 stops, so it's not direct, you'll change planes twice before reaching Ponta Delgada (PDL). That's standard from Zaragoza on this route; the stops will add to your travel time, but the price more than makes up for it. The return (11 January in the example) departs at 20:00, perfect if you don't fancy an early start on your last day.
Best time to visit
The Azores are a year-round destination, each season with its own charm. The Atlantic climate brings frequent rain, but temperatures stay mild (12–20°C even in winter). Winter (December–February) offers lush green landscapes and fewer tourists; spring and autumn are stable and pleasant. Summer brings drier weather but higher prices and crowds. For budget travel, January through March typically offer good deals and thin tourist numbers.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land in Ponta Delgada, capital of São Miguel. Explore the old town, the Basílica do Senhor Jesus Cristo, and the harbourfront. Don't miss the hot springs at Furnas, the Sete Cidades lakes, and the wild north coast. If you've got time, other islands like Faial are reachable by ferry. Local food (tuna, sweet potato) is worth the detour. Car hire is the most flexible way to explore the island.
