The other bus who goes to the Lisbon airport is no. 44.
It was still dark when I was riding there for my 8 am flight to the Azores. Alert! There are two terminals in Lisbon airport. The flights to the Atlantic islands and to some other minor European destination goes from Terminal 2. City Bus comes to terminal 1 and then you have to take a free shuttle bus to terminal 2. Easy? But take into account that you have to wait for the departure of the shuttle… It takes little more then 10 minutes. And this is definitely not a walking distance! So easy to miss the connection if you do not have enough time.
I did not… It was again almost 3 hours on the Airbus 319. One-sandwich breakfast aboard and almost clear sky, when we approached Sao Miguel Island.
Oho! Since my backpack spent the night alone in the Lisbon airport I was not surprised that the thief was checking its pocket. He left it open. But I never put there valuables!
There is no public bus from Ponta Delgada airport to the city – I was hitchhiking. Taxi drivers ask for 8-12 euro.
Finally I reached the stylish Youth hostel. Ponta Delgada have a nice old town with narrow streets. I like it. Sunny, but windy day in the middle of Atlantic!
