Avianca Airlines offers business class on  flights to Bogotá

Avianca Airlines announced that as of June 1, customers of the airline will have the option of flying in business class on the Los Angeles to Bogotá route. This decision was made after analyzing and addressing customer suggestions to improve their travel experience on the longest route the airline operates in the Americas.

With this change, passengers flying between these destinations will be able to choose the size that best suits 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.

Avianca Airlines flight AV0083 will depart Los Angeles (LAX) at 8:45 p.m. (local time) daily, arriving in Bogotá (BOG) at 05:45 a.m. the following day (local time), with a flight time of seven hours. The return flight (AV0084) will depart Bogotá at 1:10 p.m. (local time) daily, arriving in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. (local time) the same day.
