Azores Airlines has dropped another — and it’s to somewhere most Canadians haven’t been yet. Their economy flights from Toronto to Praia, Cabo Verde are down to just $805-865 CAD roundtrip for multiple dates between November and April, which is way below the usual ~$1200 range. In case you weren’t aware, Cabo Verde (formerly known as Cape Verde) is a set of islands off the western coast of Africa, and is a popular sun-destination for folks living in the U.K. Cheap flights to Cabo Verde aren’t as common, so this is an awesome opportunity to explore this little hidden gem.
