Cheap flights from Terceira to Flores Island
Lajes is Terceira's airport and Santa Cruz is the airport on Flores Island, so this is a small-island route where schedules and baggage rules matter more than on large mainland hops. Cheap flights from Terceira to Flores Island are a short hop between two Azorean islands, but the carrier and ticket type change the real cost. Compare routings before you book, because some itineraries connect rather than fly nonstop.
