With the Easter season approaching, one of the busiest travel periods of the year in Colombia and various markets in the region, Avianca is preparing to support thousands of travelers who will be traveling to enjoy days off, family gatherings, or cultural and religious experiences, while continuing to contribute to strengthening tourism and connectivity between destinations.
Between March 27 and April 6, the airline plans to operate more than 8,300 flights and offer more than 1.4 million seats across its network of more than 150 routes, connecting more than 80 destinations in the Americas and Europe, allowing its customers to fly to more than 27 countries in both regions.
“Holy Week is one of the busiest travel seasons of the year, and at Avianca we are preparing to serve thousands of travelers who take advantage of these days to reunite with their families or discover new destinations. For this season, our operations are ready to meet the increased demand and continue connecting our customers through our route network,” stated David Alemán, Avianca's Sales Director for Colombia and South America.
This season, travelers will have numerous options for exploring Colombia and the Americas. Domestically, destinations like Santa Marta, Cartagena, Riohacha, Medellín, Popayán, San Andrés, and Leticia typically experience high demand due to their cultural, natural, and religious offerings. Internationally, cities such as Mexico City, Cancún, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Asunción, San Juan, New York, Lima, and Santiago de Chile remain among the top choices for travelers seeking experiences abroad.
Recommendations for traveling during Holy Week
To facilitate your travel experience during this high-demand season, Avianca recommends that its customers take the following suggestions into account:
Preventing fraud in purchases: It is recommended to always use official channels such as avianca.com, lifemiles.com, the Contact Center, authorized sales points, or agencies to guarantee secure transactions. It is also advisable to be wary of offers that seem too good to be true, as extremely low prices on social media or chat platforms are often signs of scams. Furthermore, it is important to verify the URL before making any payment to ensure it is a legitimate website. If you have any doubts about the authenticity of messages or offers, you can verify them by writing to prevenciondefraude@avianca.com.
Check flight status: Travelers can check their flight status on avianca.com, the Avianca app, or through notifications sent via email and WhatsApp.
Check in early: It is recommended to check in 48 hours before your flight, or 24 hours before for flights to or from the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
Arrive at the airport with plenty of time: To avoid delays, it is suggested to arrive 2 hours in advance for domestic flights and 3 hours in advance for international flights.
Verify documentation: It is important to confirm in advance that all documents required for the trip are valid and in order, such as passports, visas or certificates required by the destination.
Check baggage conditions: Customers should verify the baggage included in the purchased fare and remember that electronic devices and lithium batteries, such as power banks, must be transported only in the aircraft cabin for safety reasons.
