Route 1: Amsterdam -
Lisbon - Terceira
The easiest route is to fly from Amsterdam to Lisbon and
from Lisbon to Terceira (Lajes). This can be done in one day.
You leave at 12.30 hours from Schiphol. Less than three
hours later you are in Lisbon. Your luggage can fly directly
to Terceira. So in Lisbon you only have hand luggage. In
Lisbon you can take a bus to the centre of Lisbon, to drink
a good glass along the river Tejo, or to visit the city.
There is a bus connection from the airport to the centre of
Lisbon to a small port (with terraces) along the Tejo. The
bus leaves every 20 minutes and one round trip takes
approximately one hour. Around 18.00 hours your plane leaves
for Terceira. That flight takes just over 2 hours. On the
Azores it is one hours earlier than in Lisbon, so in the
evening around 20.30 hours you can have a coffee on a
terrace at the seaside , in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
After a stay of one or more days on Terceira you can travel
to Sao Jorge by boat or by plane (SATA).
Route 2: Amsterdam -
Terceira
on Fridays at 06.00 hours in the morning you can also fly
direct from Amsterdam to Terceira with TUI. Departure is
early, but the flight is direct and takes less than 4 hours.
On the same day or the next day (Saturday) you can fly in 25
minutes to Sao Jorge.
Route 3 Amsterdam -
Lisbon - Sao Miguel or Faial
You also can fly from Amsterdam (via Lisbon) to Sao Miguel
or Faial fly (TAP and/or SATA). A good alternative if you
like to spend a few days on Sao Miguel or Faial. From São
Miguel and from Faial you can use a domestic flight to Sao
Jorge.
In winter it is recommended to travel by a aeroplane (
Terceira - São Jorge – Terceira costs € 108, - pp) instead
of travelling by boat (€ 80, -). In winter boat connections
are less frequent and weather circumstances can cause delays.
