Edelweiss Airlines’ long-haul network expands for summer 2025 with the addition of two new North American destinations: Seattle in the United States and Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada. Travelers departing from Zurich can explore these fascinating cities with direct flights during the peak summer season.

Seattle: A Vibrant and Natural Metropolis

Seattle, an iconic city of the Pacific Northwest, captivates with its blend of dynamic urban life and stunning natural landscapes. Known for the famous Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and a thriving arts scene, Seattle offers a diverse range of unforgettable experiences.

The Spectacular Nature Surrounding Seattle

The Seattle area is home to natural wonders like Olympic National Park, the Cascade Range mountains, and the scenic waters of Puget Sound, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

A Starting Point for Memorable Road Trips

Seattle is also an ideal starting point for legendary road trips, whether along the West Coast to California or exploring Yellowstone National Park.

Halifax: The Gateway to Atlantic Canada

As the capital of Nova Scotia, Halifax is a city rich in history and culture, featuring sites like the Citadel, the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, and a charming waterfront. An excellent starting point for exploring the region, Halifax invites visitors to experience the natural beauty and maritime traditions of the province.

Exploring Nova Scotia’s Natural Landscapes

From Halifax, travelers can set out to discover Nova Scotia’s natural treasures, such as the hiking trails of Cape Breton Highlands National Park, sandy beaches, and quaint fishing villages.

Flights to Seattle and Halifax are now open for booking. With these new destinations, Edelweiss expands its North American offering, which also includes Denver, Las Vegas, and Tampa Bay in the United States, as well as Calgary and Vancouver in Canada.
