The flight was an hour and a half, the crew didn’t bother serving drinks to the 13 passengers in Premium economy for the first 50 minutes…. And then just threw some wrapped sandwiches and gave us some soft drinks
Premium economy have nothing to do with crew because they don’t served you anything different than Eco
The aircraft knew from advance that the entertainment was not going to be available but you can not even charge your phone/tablet. Food can be a bit more generous
My trouble was also with kayak. I put in to your search engine the dates, times, cabin and amount of luggage that was needed. When arriving at the airport we were charged $280 extra. I have booked thru Kayak for years. Never have I encountered such a mistake. The entertainment was below average. The food terrible. The check in outrageously slow and the complaints continue to add up!
Great customer service both on and off the airplane. Flight was very comfortable. Thank-you!
I had booked my wife and I on AR from BUE to MIA on January 10th and secured seats 6A and 6B. When I checked in AR claimed one ticket was booked for the 10th and one for the 11th. They forced me to by a new ticket and charged me an additional $2,400.00 USD. I want a refund. Rob Austin
I tried to add checked baggage through the website; the amount was charged, but the payment was not linked to my reservation. As a result, I had to pay again at the airport and only received a refund three weeks later, thanks to my bank’s intervention. The flight was delayed, and the boarding process was poorly organized. Several boarding groups were in the same line, which made boarding very uncomfortable. The food was acceptable, but the beverage service was limited. While drinks were available at the back of the plane, it would be better to offer more beverages during the meal service. On a positive note, the cabin crew was very kind and professional, and we arrived on time according to the revised schedule.
The check in staff were so friendly and accomodating. Loved it. very rarefly you find that in other airlines.
Boarding was uncomfortable. Groups weren't boarding in an orderly fashion because everyone was taking to buses together. It was 90 degrees, but there was no air-conditioning. We left 40 minutes late without explanation. Uncomfortable!
Outstanding service both from ground staff and onboard staff! Very helpful in making changes to our schedule when our trip ended sooner then expected
Overall, the flight went well and the service was good. However, there was a very frightening moment during landing in Bogotá. Just as the plane was about to touch down, it suddenly went back up into the air. The aircraft was not descending straight and seemed to move left and right, which made the situation feel unstable. This was quite scary. After going back up, the plane circled for about 15 minutes before attempting to land again. Although I understand that safety always comes first and situations like this can happen, it was still a shocking experience for passengers.
Seating was tight. Seats don't recline. Initial flight was cancelled. Lost two days of vacation.
Horrible experience with Avianca, they delayed their flight and when we arrived to NYC, AVIANCA took 1 hr y 30 mins to park the airplane and all passenger get off the plane, it made me lost all my trains to get back home and I came back to my place at 3 am instead of 12 am. On the top of that their plane seat are so uncomfortable and is not enough space and killed my legs and knees, Avianca used to be good when it was a Colombian company, now after Brasilian company bought them, their service quality is bad and their flights are delayed and oversold.
It was delayed and I lost my connection flight to Cali and I missed my Mom's funeral and avianca lost my check in luggage

I actually upgraded to the medium level of seats from basic and even doing that it may have been physically the most uncomfortable flight I have ever had. They packed everyone like is a train to death camp. It was a red eye so I hoped to get some sleep but it was physically impossible to find a comfortable way to rest. I met other folks on the same flight and they said the same thing. It was an utterly miserable flight and if I have any other options I will never fly with them again
only a bag of chips and a bottle of water in business class was served
Avianca has transitioned from full service legacy airline to "low cost" but has now became a strange hybrid (minimum leg space, started offering business class in domestic flights again, charges passenger for printing boarding pass, etc.). National and international coverage and destinations are really wide but service is not at its best
We found the chairs to be really uncomfortable. It’s also really unacceptable that no form of food or drink is included in a 6+ hour flight
Not good, tried to purchase a first class upgrade and they couldn’t get it done. Was super uncomfortable the whole time.
