It depends on the route I guess, but I got two business seats on AMS-LIS-PDL without problems about 4 months out.

Thanks I actually found two seats leaving out of EWR...could not find any availability whatsoever leaving out of JFK. The Azores huh...does your AMS-LIS-PDL route include stopovers?

That really depends on the rules of your FFP of choice. I was trying to get to PDL as quickly as possible so I didn't even try to book a stopover.

FFP...I booked using Lifemiles. According to THIS article TAP recently starting allowing stopovers up to five days. Not sure if this applies to award travel, but I would want to spend at least a week in Portugal in anyway.

It only applies to revenue, not award, travel. You can always do a cheap Ryanair flight LIS-PDL or vice-versa.

Also remember that SATA has free connecting flights within the azores.
