Since I have a lot of family in Lisbon, we went back and forth to the Azores a couple of years ago. No problem. Actually, we started out in London and then to Lisbon and then to the Azores. I think in May in Sao Miguel there is a big festa, can't remember which one. I know we missed it by a couple of days when we were there and I was so sorry afterwards but my family in Lisbon had planned a big party for us so had to be there on a certain date. You might want to check Festas in Pico as that seems to be where you will be spending most of your time. I made all of my reservations online on SATA site. I recently read there are going to be some changes with travel to the Azores in the future but don't know if/when it will happen.
