Schedules in Sata Regional do not change, delays and cancellation due to weather or mechanical. Sata Regional is a commuter and there is no seat assignment.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
Mario, Thank you for the reply. I am aware that one can go from London to the Azores and this would be easier for us but because of the type ticket we are going from the US to Europe on, I have to take British Airways from London to Lisbon first and then I am going to Terceira but because I will be taking the afternoon flight, it will not be direct and I have to change planes in Ponta Delgada. I just counted and all told for this vacation, we will be taking 9 flights, with more plane changes in between. Sheer madness!! But we are trying to see as much of England, Scotland, Ireland, the Azores and Portugal as possible.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
I want to thank everyone for their replies on my SATA questions. I, too, have heard it is less expensive to purchase tickets within the islands while you are there but I didn't want to take any chances of not getting a seat as my schedule is tight. Maybe I will be a little more carefree next time. When picking my seats from Lisbon to Ponta Delgada, the plane looked about 1/2 full. I am looking forward to the trip - to walk where my grandmother (whose baptism record still escapes me) walked, bless her soul, where our family circus performed, to go to the orphanage my g-aunt was in in sao miguel, eat some great food, and just have some great fun!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
We were not able to make any seat reservations between islands. Sometimes they make it appear or sound like you may, but you can't (of course unless they change their guidelines). One little funny situation - we're at the Terceira airport getting ready to depart. We arrived early to get seat upgrades to first class (before the ticket counter even opened). They had only two first seats to upgrade and we were a party of five, so we didn't do it. Thanks GOODNESS we didn't since the cost was about $500 per person. We even asked for seat changes and were told there werent' any. We board the plane and it was basically EMPTY. Go figure! All the teenagers and early-twenty somthings who stayed out too late with friends during the San Joaninas celebration each had their own entire row to sleep on. I bet only a quarter of the plane was full returning home. They say this isn't normal as the season goes on, but we were the first flight from Oakland heading over, so I guess the first flight back and many people were staying longer than the two weeks we were there.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
Hi "E", My parents and others are always told by travel agents here in Canada that they should just purchase their SATA inter-island tickets when they are actually in one of the islands. The only reason for this is just becasue their schedules change and also because the cost of the tickets are much cheaper when you buy them there (Azores). Maybe someone on this board who actually lives there (Azores) can give you better advice but this is what is done by my parents and others.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
I don't recall anything about my seats on SATA from Terceira to Sao Miguel. I've been to the Azores 4 times, only one time I had a message that my flight home was to leave later that originally planned. That would have been Azores Express between Ponta Delgada and Boston.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA questions
Elaine, my experience with SATA interisland flights is that they do not have assigned seats. I believe that was the same with my Lisbon to Terceira flilghts. As for delays and cancellations, that can happen without notice if the weather is bad. I spent half a day in the airport in Terceira trying to get a flight to Faial. They just keep delaying the fllight, never cancelled it. I finally took the boat, that took 8 hrs. because the weather was bad.
