Jon has flown Azores Airlines. That is what allows a cabin review of it to carry the Flown label. The cabin facts below are published specifications; what they are like to sit in for eight hours is what a flown review adds.
What you actually get up front
The business cabin Azores Airlines flies on these routes, recorded as published facts rather than opinion. Service and food are not scored here — those need someone to have been on the aircraft.
A321neo / A321LR
2-2, not lie-flat, no direct aisle access from every seat, no privacy door. Seat scores 0/10.
Comfort Class is a wide 2-2 recliner, not a lie-flat business seat. The airline states about 40 degrees of recline; it is closer to US domestic first than to a transatlantic bed, and the sub-five-hour Azores sector is what it is built for.

Common questions
- Is Azores Airlines cheap to fly to Europe?
- Azores Airlines ranked 11 of 31 carriers, costing a median of $51 more than the cheapest option on the same route in the same week. It was the outright cheapest on 2 of the 4 routes we priced it on. Its lowest fare in the set was $598.
- Which routes does Azores Airlines serve in this data?
- We priced it on 4 US-to-Europe routes: BOS to PDL, BOS to TER, BOS to OPO, BOS to LIS. A route missing here means the carrier did not appear in results for that week, which is not the same as not flying it.
- Is Azores Airlines the cheapest way to reach PDL?
- Yes. On BOS to PDL, Azores Airlines was the cheapest carrier at $598. That is unusual: most flag carriers are beaten into their own hub by an airline selling connecting traffic.
- Has Jon flown Azores Airlines?
- Yes. Azores Airlines is on the flown roster, which is what lets any cabin review of it be labeled Flown rather than Researched. This page is about fares, not seats; any seat review publishes separately and carries its own label.
