Wow! You are lucky to be flying from Amsterdam because you have a choice of flights:
- One with TACV, leaving from Amsterdam every Friday afternoon and returning from Sao Vicente every Saturday morning.
- One with Transavia, leaving from Amsterdam every Monday morning and returning from Sao Vicente every Monday afternoon.
One note of caution when flying with TACV:
The airline does note have a lot of spare capacity on international flights. They only have a few planes, each covering a wide network of destinations called upon only on a weekly basis. This means that if something unexpected happens (technical failure or a sandstorm (risk 5-10% during December – March)), it make take days for TACV to be able to get you on the next flight.
This year (2015), the airline has been faced with financial challenges. Shortages of cash to pay for servicing and to pay for flight navigation services have caused planes to be grounded, causing disruption for passengers.
