Avianca Offers Business Class on Los Angeles-Bogotá Route

Avianca Airlines has announced that beginning June 1, customers will be able to fly in business class on the Los Angeles-Bogotá route.

DALLAS — Avianca Airlines (AV) has announced that beginning June 1, customers will be able to fly in business class on the Los Angeles-Bogotá route. The decision was made after analyzing and responding to customer suggestions to improve their travel experience on the airline's longest route in the Americas.

Passengers flying between these destinations will now be able to select the best size for their needs from five options: XS, S, M, and L in economy fare and XXL in business fare to fly on Boeing 787* twin-aisle aircraft with 28 seats in Business cabin and 222 in Economy.

"We know that going to Bogotá is almost like going to Europe,” said Manuel Ambriz, Avianca's chief commercial officer. "It's a long trip and we want our customers to have the opportunity to enjoy more benefits. We listened to them, we made some internal adjustments and today we are implementing the option of flying in the business cabin on a flight of seven hours. We currently operate one daily flight between Los Angeles and Bogotá and we believe that this is an important development to the route."
