Avianca inaugurated last Sunday two new international routes: Bogota-Chicago and Medellin-San Salvador.
Both routes will operate one daily flight on Airbus A320 aircraft with capacity for 180 passengers.
In order to make the inaugural Chicago-Bogota flight a truly memorable experience, the airline surprised travelers with the award of 15 ‘Golden Tickets’, valid for a dinner for two at El Chato restaurant, by chef Alvaro Clavijo, renowned for designing the Business Class menus on Avianca flights from Bogota to selected destinations in the Americas and Europe.
