Latam wouldn’t tell me how much checked luggage would until I was at the airport and they charged me the highest price possible. Besides that, it was okay.
The plane broke down at the Lima stopover and they offered to put me on a flight the be t day but I had to be back in LA that morning and so I had to buy another ticket from Avianca and United for $2k I asked LATAM for compensation and received none. Very bad experience
Really bad experience – delayed for 6 hours without any notice, no food or drinks provided, and stuck in the horrible Cartagena airport.
Change of gate in Santiago devolved into half plus hour delay and a really tight connection in Lima
They didi not provide wheelchair though we had requested. We had to run around for 40 minutes and arrange it from the airport!
On time. At least they offer a drink and a small snack. Plane was clean
Airline lost my luggage and after 20 days it has not been returned nor refunded any money.
It was confusing because I got a notification that my gate was changed when in reality it wasn’t
Awful, horrible customer service. Flight got delayed and had to spend y the night in Bogota as a result. Very poor
Hostile flight attendants. Second flight with Jose so much better. Arrived 1/2 hour early. Thanks.
First of all, could be Kyak's fault he we couldn't for days check in on line via Kayak or Jet Smart. We can't get the app either. Luckily on LATAM I managed to get the WiFi and contact Jet smart via what's app. This was horrendous and the person was unhelpful to start with. But we explained and she managed to check us in as if she didn't we wouldn't have got on the flight as would've been too late to check in. At the gate they were checking everyone's bag for size. My bag was 1 cm over and they tried to charge me $255 soles to carry it on but was 225 to put it in the hold. We had to pay to put both bags in the hold adding £100 to the cost of the flight. We had to carry the bags as the jet smart sight doesn't allow us to add bags which would've cost us £13 each so £26 on booking instead of £100. Staff at the gate were rude to us and other passengers. I'm sure they were on commission to get money off passengers for the bags. The lady flight attendant was pleasant but over ruled buy this jumped up young guy when I asked if my partner could sit beside me. The plane was 1/3 full. Then he was rude most of the flight. Avoid jet smart at all costs! Worrying thing is we have a return journey with these shower of.... We have been on their site the past two days trying to add bags but site won't do anything. I think this is on purpose to get more money out of passengers. As I said avoid at all costs.
Terrible website. Does not work most of the time I tired using it to check in. Had to have someone from another country help me check in. Their customer service is the worst.
The crew was polite, the Captain specially was cool! But the onboard service was nonexistent: No entertainment, no food, no reclining seats. I know it is a low cost, but the cost of the ticket was not so low for just the transport service.
Was a good flight, no delays and good customer service.
Customer service is horrible. Our flight was at 9pm and we were at check in counter by 7pm. The crew strolls in at 7.30 without even an apology. We were suppose to get our boarding passes online but the website was not working at expected and the staff kept arguing with us saying that is not possible.
There was no entertainment but everyone just used their phones.
The app told us that carry on luggage was included but we were made to pay for it again at the check in counter, making it a very expensive flight. Not happy
I was charged 168 soles for kids stroller. We have travelled across the world and have never charged for the stroller. Horrific airlines and the staff was extremely rude. They wouldn’t let us board unless we pay the extra baggage cost. Never ever flying this airline and I would recommend the same for the others.
Avoid this airline. They are unprofessional. The captain left several passengers on ground due to covid restrictions which were never communicated. As a chilean, I am ashamed that this low level airline comes from my country. Remember this horrible brand and avoid it... Jetsmart
We do not like to board by shuttle then off the tarmac
A flawless trip, great experience. Keep up the good work!
The airline did not allow enough time for the Columbia checkpoint
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
It was delayed and I lost my connection flight to Cali and I missed my Mom's funeral
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
Purchased a business class ticket and got a economy seat with center seat blocked they call it business. 3100usd ticket on a flight where economy costs 500usd The biggest scam insult have had on a regular airline. Avianca should be in the low cost category and kicked out of Star Alliance. I want the difference to be credited. Ets see what Avianca does. No reply so far. Avianca = low cost airline. Beware
