When to fly
Book far enough ahead to compare the connecting itineraries, since the cheaper seats on the short Azores legs are often the first to go, and a longer connection can be worth more than a slightly lower fare. June is the cheapest month in the data, while July and August sit in the school-holiday and summer period, and December and January cover the winter holidays; October, November, March and April are the other months with shown prices, so check the calendar rather than assuming a steady pattern.
