SATA becomes Azores Airlines

With the name change, comes an entirely new rebranding:

Compare the new site

https://www.azoresairlines.pt/

With the older one:

Visually, you can easily ID a more advanced UI. Luckily, they have also preserved the best thing about the site.  If you want the cheapest flight and have the flexibility around your dates, you can view a few days ahead and a few days afterwards.

My last trip was designed around exactly this feature.

EXCEPT the previous site allowed you to view ALL the prices of your trip within the span of a month.  I had randomly chosen one date and could easily find the cheapest time to travel.  Now it's a little harder.

Speaking from personal experience, it's worth the effort.  Use the money you've saved to travel back more often!! ;)
