SATA flies to Ponta Delgada from Boston year round, however, connecting
flights to the other islands can be challenging, I normally fly Boston
to Ponta Delgada in the evening and then take the 9AM flight to Pico.
Everything can be done via the website I no longer call the Fall River,
I used to spent to much time on hold.
The return flight from Pico makes a technical stop in Terceira. In the
winter months I have to spend a night in Sao Miguel. Plan you
itinerary. If flying out of Terceira, it's a 1/2 less but it's only
available during a certain period of the year. Stop there and go see a
bull fight.
I'll second Cheri's suggestion of staying overnight in Boston both
ways. It's a beautiful city and we have some great Portuguese
restaurants and clubs that serve food.

Carol,
The travel agent for Artesia was named Ana. I don't remember her last
name. She no longer works as an agent. She is David's cousin.
I know when I go, I prefer to fly to the east coast and spend a day or
2 visiting people and then on to the Azores. The jet lag isn't so
hard for me that way. But that's my own preference.
The last time one of my student's went, they flew non-stop from
Oakland to TER. She told me her mom said that they will never do that
again, as it was just too long up in the air for them. Again,
personal preference.
I think the airports that go directly to the Azores are Oakland,
Boston, Toronto, and I don't remember what else.
Starting sometime in the spring and ending sometime in the fall, you
can fly directly to the Azores from North America. The other times of
the year, you have to get to Europe and then fly back. Something
about the flight patterns.
Ed de Melo is a travel agent on this list. Maybe he has contacted you
by now.
SATA operates in America as Azores Express. Their office is in Fall
River, Massachusetts: http://goo.gl/reeCra

Does anyone know what is the best way to fly to the Azores from
Los Angeles? Would it be through Boston,Toronto or NYC and flying
directly to Terceria or should we go through Lisbon to Terceirra?
We especially want to take in Pico de Lajes and Madeleina. Does
anyone remeember the name of the travel agent who arrranged the
Artesia DES Band trip or the San Diego Filarmonica Band Trip? Any
help would be appreciated!

PS: My daughter even suggested San Diego to Heathrow (London UK)
then to Lisbon then Terceira.
