Find correct name
The airport is not listed as João Paulo II anywhere.
The airport's own website calls itself simply Ponta Delgada, and has no mention of João Paulo.
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

" . . like a defeated garrison marching to their own lines": I've an idea our article overstates a point here. Do we have a reference?
I'm familiar with the phrase "retire bag and baggage", in military use of the general period. My understanding is tht the phrase expresses the terms often agreed when a garrison withdrew, surrendering its position, typically when the strategic picture meant that resupply was not a foreseeable possibility and a defence, however determined, could not outlast a siege. And I seem to recall reading tht the phrase isn't just emphatic repetition: tht bag and baggage mean different things, and the meaning is tht the retiring force would be permitted to withdraw unhindered with the soldiers carrying their own kit and with the force's baggage train following. That is (in the terms used in our article), it was normal for a force honorably surrendering a position and returning to its lines to travel "loaded", not "light". Can anybody help? -SquisherDa (talk) 23:13, 12 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
