POP-UP flights: Florence lined up for late October
Launched by the Swiss regional airline last July, the ‘POP-UP’ flights concept offers flights to a constantly changing range of destinations for a limited period, with seats available for last-minute booking. Florence will take its turn as a Helvetic Airways POP-UP destination in late October 2020.
First Brac, Dubrovnik and Zakynthos stepped up to the plate. Now it’s the Tuscan capital’s time to shine, as Florence becomes a POP-UP flight destination. The birthplace of the Italian Renaissance has something for everyone – whether it’s the historic center, the iconic works of art or a round of golf in nearby Castelfalfi.
Flight plan:
| Flight 2L8362 | 23/10/2020 | ZRH | 09:00 | FLR | 10:10 |
| Flight 2L8363 | 25/10/2020 | FLR | 18:00 | ZRH | 19:15 |
Flight and hotel packages are available from CHF 625 (city break only) and CHF 845 (includes golf trip). They are available to book now on helvetic.com/popup-flights or on our travel partner site infinitigolf.ch. All destinations are served by the flagship of the Helvetic Airways fleet, the ultra-quiet and eco-friendly new generation Embraer E190-E2.
With its POP-UP flights, Helvetic Airways offers Swiss and international clients a unique selection of top destinations, in compliance with proven hygiene conditions and with seats available for last-minute booking. The Swiss regional airline also guarantees maximum flexibility in the event that restrictions affect travel.
