Default London flights to Ponta Delgada?

Anybody have any pointers on getting a flight from London to Ponta
Delgada economically?
Are there any discount airlines that go there or is it just charters?

No discount airlines fly to the Azores.

However, SATA, the Azorean national carrier, are starting scheduled flights
from London Gatwick to Ponta Delgada once a week on Tuesdays from 5th April
through until 25th October.

See http://www.sata.pt/?engl=1

Prices start at about GBP 326 return - not cheap, but oh what beautiful
islands!

Ticket Options
A paper ticket is mandatory on this flight. Ticket Information
ELECTRONIC TICKETS
Electronic tickets, or e-tickets, are used by an increasing number of
top airlines. In simple terms when you choose an e-ticket through
Airline Network we will automatically create an electronic record in the
airline's computer system instead of printing a paper ticket. You will
then be sent an e-ticket receipt instead of a ticket, which, you will
need to check in with at the airport.

E-tickets offer several key advantages:-

More Convenient - You do not have to wait for your tickets to arrive.
More Peace of Mind - No need for a paper ticket, eliminating worry of
leaving them behind or losing them.
More Affordable - There is now a surcharge for paper tickets on routes
where an e-ticket is available.

PAPER TICKETS
Traditional paper based ticket (may incur surcharge)

If you go to the Azores you should immediately book flights to all the
islands that you are plannig to visit, as the inter-island flights tend to
be full. You will also get a discount from SATA if you show your
international ticket.

The agents at the airport were very patient and helped us plan a reasonable
itinerary for hopping around the islands. The short ferry ride between Faial
and Pico offers frequent service but can sometimes be a bit rough for people
who tend to be seasick. Dramamine can be purchased at a pharmacy.

It's a great place to visit--much nicer than Madeira and offers unparalleled
natural beauty.
