Does SATA airlines still fly direct from Boston to Lisbon?

April 30, 2015 6:54 PM

Searching "direct flights" from Boston to Lisbon turns up vague references and a Boston Globe article from two years ago (http://www.boston.com​/travel/blog/2013/04​/new_flights_bet.html). I know some people who have flown this route in the past, but neither Google Flights nor any other travel site can actually show those flights. Was this route discontinued? Does any other airline still fly BOS-LIS direct?

Response by poster: Thanks! Looks like they sell out more quickly.

I flew on SATA from Logan to Lisbon a few years ago, but the flight stopped in the Azores and I remember it not being totally clear when booking that it was actually going to do that. So you may just want to be extra certain.

I flew SATA to Sao Miguel in January from Boston, the flight continued on to Lisbon. So, they definitely fly there, but it might be direct-ish. For what its worth, the SATA plane was much more run-down than I expected from a Western European carrier, and definitely showing its age.
