Flight tracking shows a straight in visual on RWY 12 (Nav Portugal doesnt publish any IAP chart for RWY 12 I can find). I haven't operated into there but have paxed in. Looks like 2 pilot WOCL operation - left JFK at 11:51pm.
Wind was 040/12 so wind off the (lowish) hills to the NE - so no where near as exciting as Funchal. PDL is home to wide body ops of Azores Airlines (SATA) with regular flights to FRA, BOS etc so it's not the backwoods.
Açores are a seriously beautiful place if you get the chance to visit.
