This is a great price for peak summer travel! Searching Delta, we found seats available for $550 round-trip, departing Boston on Tuesday, July 10, returning from Ponta Delgada on Wednesday, July 18. Flights connect via New York JFK.

And yes, this is a Basic Economy fare, but do keep in mind that Delta's version of Basic Economy includes both a carry on bag as well as a personal item.

For those uncomfortable with leaving their seating arrangements to chance, Economy for these dates is available for $640 round-trip. You'll also find nonstops on Azores Airlines for $781 round-trip in July, or—if you can stand to wait a month—$656 throughout most of August.
