Flores Island is an island of the Western group (Grupo Ocidental) of the Azores. It has an area of 143 km², a population of approximately 3907 inhabitants, and, together with Corvo Island of the western archipelago, lies within the North American Plate. It has the westernmont point of Portugal in Monchique Islet and, if considered part of Europe (though it sits on the North American Plate), it is the westernmost point of the continent as well. It has been referred to as the Ilha Amarelo Torrado (English: Yellow/Auburn Island) by marketing and due to the association with poet Raul Brandão, but it is well known for its abundance of flowers, hence its Portuguese name of Flores.
This is my first ever review on Yelp! I want to start off by saying that I have been purchasing airline tickets through Trip Designs for almost ten years now. Since I have family overseas, I travel frequently, and so do other members of my family. Not only we always get the best deals (far cheaper than anything online), but, even more importantly, enjoy very professional and fast service.
On a couple of occasions, I've had to purchase tickets on an extremely short notice (same day travel to Europe), and Sladjana was able to find me excellent deals. A few other times, I had to re-do the tickets, change dates and extend travel - and did so without any issues. The representatives patiently worked with me via numerous emails and phone calls, to better accommodate my requests.
I started recommending Trip Designs to other family and friends about five-six years ago - and have heard nothing but praise.
Highly recommended!
