According to Colombia’s largest airline, its 42 weekly flights between Colombia to Europe are more than any other carrier, a mark that was improved in 2016 with a 13.5% rise in seat availability over 2015. The carrier says it increased its seat volume in response to a “growing demand of tourism and business travelers.”

Well over half of Avianca’s operations to Europe come from its 28 weekly flights to Madrid: 18 from Madrid to Bogotá, seven from Madrid to Cali (one per day), and three from Madrid to Medellín. It also flies daily routes from Bogotá to Barcelona and Bogotá to London. All of these flights are operated by the company’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which can hold 250 passengers, with 28 in business class and 222 in economy.

“More travelers choose Avianca,” said the company in a statement. “These advantages have positioned Avianca as the preferred alternative for many travelers to fly between Europe and Colombia and other destinations in Latin America.”

The business class seats have a lie-flat, 180-degree bed feature, and the Bogotá-based airline boasts that the Dreamliner’s new lighting and pressurizing techniques can supposedly ease the effects of dehydration and jet lag. Each seat will also include a personal screen with a variety of entertainment options.

“The inclusion of these modern aircraft for passenger service on transatlantic routes is part of the airline’s commitment to offer a new travel experience,” said Avianca in a statement.

Avianca operates its Bogotá-to-London flight daily, making it a main hub for British travelers who want to get anywhere within South America.

The Bogotá redeye leg leaves El Dorado International Airport in the Colombian capital each night at 11:04 pm and gets to London at 3:45 pm. The London return flight leaves England at 10:40 pm and gets into Bogotá at 4:05 am. All times are local.
