New amenities include more room between seats, new china, and comfort kits for overnight flights

San Salvador,El Salvador, October 23, 2008 — TACA, the international airline for today’s modern traveler, announced today that as of this month all Business Class passengers will enjoy a series of additional amenities designed to improve the quality of service and offer a more pleasant travel experience.

For additional passenger comfort, there will now be more space between Business Class seats. In addition, many of the seats will now recline twice as far back as before to provide passengers with greater comfort and freedom of movement.

Those who travel on Business Class can now also enjoy a series of new amenities such as new porcelain china, new tablecloths, napkins and silverware, and a comfort kit for overnight flights.

The new porcelain china features an unconventional design for the industry. The new silverware, tablecloths and cloth napkins will help passengers forget they are in fact aboard an airplane.

Comfort kits will be distributed on flights departing between 7:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. that last longer than four hours. The kits will include a toothbrush, toothpaste, moist towelettes, a sleeping mask, earplugs, moisturizing cream and a surprise item that will change throughout the year.
