The Azores: A Stone's Throw (or Plane Ride) from Toronto?
Ever dreamt of volcanic landscapes, steaming thermal pools, and whale watching adventures? The Azores, a Portuguese archipelago nestled in the mid-Atlantic, might be calling your name. But before you pack your swimsuit (essential) and your snorkel (recommended, but not essential if you're scared of fish with big teeth), there's one burning question: can you fly there directly from Toronto?
Hold Your Horses (or Moose, if You're Feeling Canadian): Direct Flights Exist!
Yes, my friend, you can ditch the dreaded layovers and jetlag (because who needs that?) There are direct flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Ponta Delgada Airport (PDL), the main airport in the Azores. This means you can be sipping a Sagres beer (a local Azorean brew) on a volcanic beach faster than you can say "eh?".
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.

But Wait, There's More! (Because We Like Options)
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Even if you can't snag a direct flight, fear not! The Azores are well-connected with plenty of flights with just one stop. So, you might have a quick layover in another European city, which could be a great excuse to extend your adventure (and maybe snag some delicious airport pastries).
