Avianca to offer Business Class on 34 routes in the Americas

Starting in December of this year, the new Business Class Americas, on single-aisle aircraft (Airbus A320), will be available on 23 additional routes to the 11 that have been available since mid-year. This will bring the number of routes offering this service to 34 within the continent.

This option offers access to seats in the first three rows of the aircraft, with greater recline and space, adjustable headrests, charging ports and comfort features. In addition, passengers have meals and drinks included and connection to the Avianca on air entertainment system from their devices.

The Business Class experience is also available on flights operated by Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, on selected frequencies on routes connecting Bogotá with New York (JFK), Miami, São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile.

“The expansion of Business Class availability in the Americas consolidates the positioning of this experience, which is based on high-quality service in every detail, to offer exceptional trips. An example of this is the incorporation of comfort elements and a menu, which on most of the routes from Bogotá has been designed by the Colombian chef Álvaro Clavijo, recognized as one of the best in the world," said Catalina Nannig, Vice President of Sales at Avianca.

The new Business Class in the Americas also includes:

Menu: Onboard service includes lunch, dinner or breakfast or a snack service —depending on the length of the flight— dessert, as well as hot and cold drinks.
Custom baggage: One personal item, one 10 kg carry-on bag and two 32 kg checked bags.
Other benefits: Changes and refunds before the flight, priority services (check-in, counter service and boarding), access to Avianca Lounges (also applies to lounges with Star Alliance agreements) and LifeMiles accumulation (7 miles for every dollar).
