Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.
10.0 ExcellentAndres, Mar 2024CLO - PTY
Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.
Copa me elige como "voluntario" para cambiarme y poder enviar a una familia a la cual había sobrevendido los tiquetes. Finalmente me envían a las carreras con Avianca, pero Copa lleva mis maletas hasta Panama y luego las devuelve a mi aeropuerto de origen, dejandome sin mis pertenencias y además no asumen la responsabilidad ya que dicen que es problema de Avianca Literalmente vi cuando el avión de Copa se lleva mis maletas, sus funcionarios en Bogota, incluyendo la gerente local me aseguran la entrega en Miami, pero simplemente era para poder engañarme y dar el cambio de silla por sobreventa
Pros: "The seats in economy were confortable. The best thing was Copa gave us seats in the second line and my family traveled together."
Cons: "Coffe service could better the experience"
Cons: "Copa is trash . Doesn’t accolade passengers with hotels . They except people to wait in the airport for 14 hrs lay over when it’s their fault ! Straight trash . Poor 79 year old lady had to stay at the airport cause her family was 4 hours away ! Trash trash"
Pros: "Both of my flights were on time which i know sounds basic but all of the flights i’ve catched from SJO to X were late and this time my connection in Panama was only 1h15 and we got there earlier, so that was nice!"
Cons: "A bunch of seats were free and we were mostly sat all together (3 person next to each other).. With the covid situation i think it could be good to be more separate if possible"
Pros: "Crew was amazing. I was thinking of upgrading to business class but did not know how"
Cons: "copa is great"
Pros: "Shout out to Ricardo as my new favorite flight attendant."
Cons: "Boarding process Change to seat number. Starting for. The last rows"
Pros: "El desayuno y el snack"
Cons: "Se debe mejorar el abordaje. Abordar de la cola hacia adelante para evitar aglomeracion de pasajero"
Pros: "Everything was smooth. There were movies. Thw attendants were nice, we were offered food and drink but I declined, but it looked like my neighbors had a yummy looking burrito. The flight was not packed at all and there was a joyful baby and two joyful folks in the seats next to me."
Avianca flights to Galapagos and back and well organized and on time.
No comfort at all. You should add at least 1 meal or a bottle of water. I wanted to buy one sandwich and everything was gone.
There was no food or drink service, couldn’t even get a glass of water for free. It was a long and expensive flight to not offer food or beverage on the plane.
I flew with my service dog unfortunately they didn’t allow it to flight on the canine, but ok, the only problem was that when I arrived to Quito it took 1 hour to deliver my dog, they were supposed to deliver it the moment we get off the airplane.
No complimentary food and beverage (water, soda, coffe) is offered for a six and a half hours long international flight, not even in premium economy, just to try to squeeze a few more dollars out of the passengers. Same happened in the connecting flight, which was three and a half hours long (Bogota x Miami). First and last time flying with Avianca.
Avianca was organized in boarding and disembarking and all announcements were made in both Spanish and English 👍🏼
Voo longo nem mesmo água ou gelo é servido, se quiser tem que pagar. Embarque é péssimo, mau atendimento.
Cons: "They put mi to buy a reverse ticket from Medellin to Madrid, . I dont see the reason !!!!! I dont use it"
Pros: "Cree was horrible handling the delayed flight eventually postponed until the next day"
Cons: "Better handling of the situation and not keeping people 2 hours in a plane with no air conditioning"
Pros: "Nothing. I’m very dissatisfied."
Cons: "Boarding time and process, plain conditions (Very filthy), Flight delayed one hour as per usual."
