NEW ROUTE : ITALIAN BOUTIQUE AIRLINE SKYALPS WILL FLY FROM GATWICK TO BOLZANO FROM APRIL
When does a holiday begin ? Many would say the moment you step off the aircraft and feel the breeze of a new climate , however the new London to Bolzano route with SkyAlps ensures that the journey is very much an important part of the travelling experience , with South Tyrolean wines and local treats on board , a closer look at the Dolomites at lower altitudes and guaranteed no middle seats ! With a brand-new London Gatwick to Bolzano route commencing in April 2024 – the Italian boutique airline is only just getting started .
New Summer Schedule : SkyAlps are delighted to announce the launch of the spring / summer schedule from London Gatwick to Bolzano , commencing on 17 April 2024 . SkyAlps will continue to bring the Dolomites closer than ever to the UK market , after successfully launching the connection from Stansted this winter . The new schedule can be found on their website .
Guaranteed 80 % Snow in April : The Dolomites have some of the best snow machines and can guarantee 80 % of slopes open even if little snowfall is planned . Fly out from London Stansted to Bolzano until the spring / summer schedule begins from Gatwick .
Never Stuck in the Middle : Unlike regular jet planes , you ’ ll never be stuck in the middle , because on this prop-plane , there isn ’ t one ! Two seats each side and a spacious aisle ensure maximum comfort and only ever a window seat or an aisle .
The Sky ’ s Ski Lift : Bolzano is a small , quick and efficient airport with very little queues , if any . Whisk through security and straight onto the slopes , cutting some transfer times from other airports , such as Innsbruck or Venice , nearly in half .
