Avianca Just Restarted Two Nonstop Flights to Cartagena 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 11, 2024 - 2:59 pm

The colorful colonial buildings, the boutique hotels, the art galleries, the creative cuisine. 

They’re all part of the reason why Cartagena has been one of the fastest-growing destinations in the Caribbean basin in recent years, repositioning Colombia as a Caribbean tourism powerhouse. 

Now, the country’s top airline has restarted a pair of nonstop routes between the United States and the emerging Caribbean hotspot. 

Avianca just relaunched service from both New York and Miami to Cartagena, part of a broader seasonal restart for the carrier.

The Miami route is operating every day of the week.
