Swiss leisure airline Edelweiss is expanding its long-haul network and will be flying to two new holiday destinations in Colombia from November 2023. The two new destinations Bogotá and Cartagena are ideal for exploring this country of contrasts on an impressive round trip. In addition to an incredible number of cultural highlights, you will experience Caribbean sandy beaches, lush jungle landscapes, high mountain peaks as well as vibrant metropolises.

Bogota

Bogotá: Capital and starting point of most round trips

From Bogotá, in addition to a round trip, numerous day trips can be planned into the nearby mountain landscape. It is highly recommended to spend a few days of your Colombia holidays in Bogotá itself and indulge in the hustle and bustle of the city. It has so much to offer – from a wide range of cultural activities to picturesque parks and lively markets.

Cartagena: Breathtaking natural beauty and relaxing dream beaches

The north of the country also offers treasures such as high coastal mountains, Caribbean dream beaches and beautiful national parks. As a finale to a Colombia round trip, it is worth relaxing for a few days in Cartagena before heading back home from here.

Edelweiss will be flying nonstop from Zurich to Bogotá, on to Cartagena and back nonstop to Zurich on Wednesdays and Sundays from November 22, 2023.

TAP Air Portugal improves the Portugal Stopover program

TAP’s popular Portugal Stopover program has been improved with more benefits to provide customers even more opportunities to explore Portugal before heading to their final destination. With the expanded program customers can now choose to stopover on their return home.

TAP customers can add Portugal to their trip with a free stopover of up to 10 days, with exclusive offers and discounts with over 290 participating partners that will help make their visit unforgettable. Offers and specials include hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, museums and countless activities, that have been organized in partnership with Visit Portugal. From discounts on surfing in areas such as Peniche to wine cellar tours in Lisbon to offers to play at exclusive golf courses, TAP’s Stopover program truly offers something for everyone.

An additional benefit allows customers to visit a second destination in Portugal at a 25% discount on air fare, allowing visitors to dig even deeper into the country’s culture with visits to regions such as Porto and the North, the Algarve or Madeira and the Azores.

The Portugal Stopover program is available for all markets in which TAP operates, though was designed with TAP’s key long-haul markets of North America and Brazil in mind. With direct flights from Boston, Chicago, Miami, New York, San Francisco and Washington in the US and Toronto and Montreal from Canada, TAP customers can fly to more than 65 destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with a Lisbon or Porto, or additional Portugal destination experience along the way.
