SATA is the airline of the Azores. Lisbon is seriously an under-rated tourist destination and worth the visit.
A few caveats about this fare:
- Does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion
- Does not earn miles with anyone
- It does not include checked luggage — only one piece of carry-on of 8 kilos (about 17 pounds)
