IN BRIEF

The independent tool can make broad date comparisons easier, but its figures are observations rather than live inventory or a booking guarantee.

  • The tracker covers 18 nonstop routes in both directions.
  • It currently follows published fares from one airline source.
  • Connecting itineraries and some other carriers are not included.
  • Every fare should be checked on the airline's own site before purchase.
01

What the tracker can show

The service presents month views, route boards and price-drop alerts for direct connections involving Ponta Delgada, Terceira, Horta, Pico and Santa Maria. It records the lowest fare it has observed and the date that value was confirmed.

That makes it useful for spotting patterns across flexible dates. It is not a complete market comparison: the methodology excludes connections and routes whose fares it cannot reliably retrieve.

02

A recorded fare is not a reserved seat

Airline availability can change between the tracker update and checkout. Baggage, seat selection, payment currency and refund conditions can also change the final cost.

Use the tracker to narrow the search, then open the operating airline and verify the exact flight, direction, passenger type and total price. Do not transfer money to an unknown party because a price appeared on a comparison page.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

What you can do now.

  1. 01

    Check the last-confirmed date beside a fare.

  2. 02

    Compare the exact journey on the airline's official booking site.

  3. 03

    Include baggage, connections and change conditions in the final decision.
