Help w/ Business Class to the Azores in March
Hello,
we are traveling to the Azores March 6-15. We have a flight booked on Sata for about 5,500 for the 3 of us business class, but we were wondering if it could be done cheaper on United or Star Alliance (we're United club card holders, silver elite with ~100k miles). We are from OK but would be willing to start from wherever in the US. We're booked around our son's spring break but can probably slide the days a little in either direction. Thanks in advance to anyone that helps!!

If you're talking $5500 for 3 (vs $5500 each), you're probably not going to get a better deal w/ UA/*A.

UA does not fly business class / lie-flats to Azores but it does fly a domestic configuration 739 and the domestic F is sold as PremPlus
EWR to PDL (Azores) - No Business, Only Premium Plus / Premium Economy
but not operating March 2023, seasonal restarts in May 2023
There may be AC flights that work for a USA flyer but nothing else *A

Friends just took the PDL flight - although in Y, they remarked it was remarkably fast (5 hours and change) so actual lie-flats seem a waste of money for that short of a flight.
