Direct Flights to Exotic Destinations from Bratislava, Now Also in Business Class
For the first time in history, direct flights from Bratislava to the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, and Cuba are available without layovers. Additionally, travelers can now enjoy the unprecedented opportunity to fly business class with flatbeds directly from Bratislava to these exotic destinations, as well as purchase standalone tickets to these countries for the first time.
These winter season innovations at M. R. Štefánik Airport have been introduced by the travel agency Der Touristik in collaboration with the airline World2Fly.
“Flights to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, and Holguín in Cuba are operated in partnership with the Spanish airline World2Fly, using an Airbus A330 aircraft with 255 economy seats and 30 dedicated business class seats with flatbed capabilities,” explained Marcel Siekel, Director of DER Touristik SK. “Last season, we saw increased demand for business class travel, and until now, no provider offered flatbeds from Bratislava,” he added. The business class surcharge starts at €399 for a one-way flight.
World2Fly Business Class Includes:
- A dedicated cabin area separated by a partition.
- Spacious reclining seats that convert into flatbeds.
- A personal steward.
- Priority airport check-in.
- An additional checked baggage allowance.
- Comfort items such as a pillow, blanket, and an amenity kit (including
- headphones).
- Access to the BTS airport business lounge.
- Enhanced catering for business class, featuring a welcome drink, cold and hot meals, and beverages.
“The Airbus A330 is a wide-body aircraft in the E category. Over the past few months, we have worked at M. R. Štefánik Airport to obtain the necessary approvals for landing such aircraft, enabling direct exotic flights from Bratislava for the traveling public,” said Dušan Novota, CEO and Chairman of the Board at M. R. Štefánik Airport.
Flights to the Dominican Republic and Vietnam began in late October and are scheduled until the end of the winter season in March 2025. The first flight to Cuba for the winter season is planned for December 17, with holiday trips to Cuba available during Christmas and New Year.
