I wouldn't say I liked being forced to check my small roller bag at the gate; too many people had bags and were in a higher boarding group.

Cons: "Wish there was in flight entertainment on the seat back. Also charging capacities in the seats."
Pros: "Just the crew was super sweet and amazing. Everything else sucks. My seat won't recline and the flights get delayed all the time. Worst was the state LaGuardia is in right now."

Avianca is the worst most uncomfortable airline I've ever been in, the seats are incredibly small and offer no support, the worst experience I've had traveling ever, do not bother with Avianca
Cons: "The food was really out of the Avianca standard. The quinoa “salad” was frozen. I asked the flight attendant and he told me it was supposed to be room temperature, but it was crystallized. Understand it was Ash Wednesday and no meat was serve (cheese quiche was ok)."
Pros: "I liked the food and the service from the crew."
Cons: "Entertainment screen and updated aircraft. Bogota to San Salvador flight was short and provided many inflight entertainment options and more comfortable seating ( leg room ). A this 6 hour flight was the opposite and extremely uncomfortable to be using an outdated aircraft for a long flight. I should have flown direct into LAX."
Cons: "I arribes at the airport 1 he before the original flight time because the flight was delayed 50 minutes. Counter told me I couldn't check in my luggage anymore. Avianca was using any possible excuse to give seats to stand by passengers from other flights. There were very long lines of stand by people at the Avianca area."
Pros: "The crew was attentive"
Cons: "The aircraft needs better maintenance. My table was tilted and the seatbelt was twisted"
Pros: "Entertainment makes flight go faster. Many choices"
Cons: "the Food (. Snack) not the best choice of ham empanada and rice chips plus something else I didn’t even tried."
Pros: "Free alcohol"
Cons: "They overbooked the flight after I called to verify this didn't happen. The night crew in LAX (11/22) were rude, unhelpful and bad people. If I were a manager I would have fired everyone. I will never use Avianca again"
Pros: "The attention of the staff and punctuality at the departures"
Cons: "The food"
Cons: "Rude check in employees, mediocre flight crew terrible food. Only good thing about the flight was the check in counter people at Asunción airport. The rest was so bad, will never flight with Avianca ever again."

Cons: "Food was disgusting. Not many options to choose from."
Half of the computers to print bags labels weren't working Not enough people to check bags I missed my flight

Cons: "The food could have been better. But overall a great experience!"
Pros: "Great crew."
Cons: "entertainment. It was a 4.5hr flight from San Salvador to Toronto (after a 2hr very comfortable flight from bogota to San Salvador) with a movie chosen by the airline."
Cons: "LAX is such a mess! We waited over an hour for our gate. I know this is not Avianca’s fault but it was pretty bad."
Pros: "Crew was amazing, seat was comfortable, was a pleasant flight"
Cons: "Taste of food in general, was a little dry and the meat was tough"

Cons: "Notification on delays"
Cons: "Only reason food is not 5 stars is the drink availability (water) was sparse"
Pros: "Flight attendants are very nice and accommodating"
Cons: "The Avianca customer Service reps in Lima didn’t notify me that my layover in San Salvador was changed to the following day (over 24 hrs layover). If this had been properly communicated, I would have packed my carryon accordingly and dealt with the inconvenience since communication is key. To add insult to injury, the Avianca reps in San Salvador said I was lying about knowing that my flight had been changed because other passengers knew. I was already at the gate to board my flight to Newark. I was with 2 other passengers who had the same experience as me standing me with right there with the same initerary. Unfortunately, my mother had the same experience with Avianca a few months ago. I shrugged it off as a one time bad experience, but this is a pattern."
Pros: "I always fly with Avianca, I can't complain about anything! I even got upgraded to first class with out a fee and was allowed to bring an extra bag free of charge! I will always recommend them."
Pros: "Crew was very attentive and professional."
Cons: ". The economy seats on the Lufthansa A350 were extremely uncomfortable and seemed excessively narrow as well has having cramped legroom. I could not get comfortable let alone sleep, and my backside felt like I had been sitting on a park bench rather than a long haul coach airline seat."
Pros: "My flight was delayed four hours, so I missed my connection to Sofia and had to re-book for two connecting flights instead of one, which makes for a long, tiring trip."
Cons: "I understand the delay due to weather conditions, but I wish I was rebooked for one, not two connecting flights. Now, instead of flying directly to Sofia from Frankfurt, I have to go to Munich first and then to Sofia, which makes my trip 9 hours longer"
Cons: "They told us there were no earbuds so recommended using our own. Our children had left theirs at home so they ran to get a $20 pair nearby. But the the plane DID have the buds; what we did not have were blankets — the crew said none were to be had."
Pros: "On the first leg of flight - united, we were surprised by the stewardess' request. We have 2 small children. The stewardess asked the man to change the seat so we can have more room in the center seats. We are grateful for that otherwise it will be very uncomfortable long flight."
Cons: "I am hoping for games but didn't find chess or any other games on the Lufthansa flight. Please add that on the flight otherwise I will stuck watching the movies the rest of flight."
Pros: "The crew was very friendly and provided excellent service"
Cons: "The seat could have been a little bit more comfortable. Then again for a long trip, unless you are in business or first class, it's not going to be that comfortable."
Cons: "Fight could have been on time! It was over 45 minutes late, because of the crew"
Pros: "Baggage arrived with me. Upgraded to First Class because so many of those passengers got other flights the night before."
Cons: "Original 5 pm flight was cancelled because there was no Crew or plane, even though it’s a United hub. Though flight cancelled early, United could not get me home same day so provided hotel and meal. Next day flight scheduled 7:05 then 8 am, but even that time came and went without boarding. 15 hours delayed and no hurry getting the plane to depart at the stated time. Total lack of customer service and concern"
Pros: "Underseat AC power and USB power was the highlight of the trip."
Cons: "Food portions were tiny. Totally dehydrated at the end of the flight, and water was passed out in 100 mL servings. Insufficient space under the seat for a backpack."
Pros: "I wasn't expecting free in-flight movies and meals, which were very welcome"
Pros: "Everything on the flight was very efficient and organized—the boarding process, the excellent and pleasant service, the food, and the entertainment selections. Thank you for making a long flight enjoyable."
