The holiday airline Edelweiss Air will fly to 20 long-haul destinations in 15 countries from Zurich-Kloten in the 2023/24 winter flight schedule. The offer is being expanded towards North America, Thailand and South Africa.

As a partner of the Alfa Romeo team, appropriate flights will be offered around the comeback of the Formula 1 race in Las Vegas. The racing circus has only made two guest appearances in the gambling metropolis, with the last race taking place more than 40 years ago. In addition, Edelweiss will fly to Tampa Bay in Florida twice a week during the winter months.

The number of flights to holiday destinations in the Caribbean remains unchanged. As in the last winter season, there will be non-stop flights from Zurich to Cancún three times a week, Havana once a week and Punta Cana twice a week. Puerto Plata is served once a week in combination with Montego Bay in Jamaica. San Jose is served three times a week; including two connections per week in combination with Liberia/Guanacaste. The two new destinations Bogotá and Cartagena are ideal for exploring this country of contrasts on an impressive round trip. From November 22, 2023, Edelweiss will fly non-stop from Zurich to Bogotá on Wednesdays and Sundays, on to Cartagena and non-stop again to Zurich. Due to the high demand, Edelweiss will increase the number of flights to Cape Town by one additional flight per week and will be flying to the destination from the end of August. Edelweiss now flies four times a week to the metropolis on the Cape of Good Hope.
