LUXURY TRAVEL 57
Reach for the Mountains : SkyAlps ’ propeller plane flies much lower than regular jets , never exceeding 25,000 feet . This means that the passengers can experience the Dolomites from a perspective rarely seen . Flying at a lower altitude can help with tiredness upon touch down . Moreover , it results in less emissions and thus a reduced climate impact .
Local Delicacies : Travellers can relax and enjoy a premium experience aboard the about 2 hours flight with a wine menu in hand , comprised of South Tyrolean wines , all complimentary . SkyAlps have handpicked 48 producers of wine to feature in their rotating menus , including four awarded quality wines every month . The in-flight complimentary snacks are also local delicacies with Italian flare , including full-fat yoghurt and fennel-flavoured Schüttelbrot , a regional bread .
Lesser-Known Bolzano : A city in the northernmost region in Italy and one of the lesser-known destinations – Bolzano offers valleys , culture , vineyards and delicious cuisine . The new Gatwick route allows travellers to enjoy warmer temperatures in spring .

Spring / Summer : SkyAlps will operate twice-weekly flights from London Gatwick – Bolzano from 17 April , starting from € 184 each way . Children under two years old travel free of charge .
