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.

only a bag of chips and a bottle of water in business class was served
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
Boarding was late due to the company’s that cleaned the aircraft (very poorly done) and the catering company. The entertainment system was not working for this six hour flight, uncomfortable seats in business (barely any cushion or recline). The airline staff is very good but the planes are horrible and not well maintained.
Pros: we leave and arrive on time Cons: the most uncomfortable seats ever. You cant recline at all your seats. No entertainment No TVs flight attendants didn't provide even a glass of water. You have to go to back of the airplane and ask for one. I am Colombian and I remember seeing the flight attendants very neat, elegants which is or was a staple of Avianca.it was one with tennis shoes, no male up, the hair was messy... that was really odd.
Here we have another airline flying to Guatemala but doesn't have a plus or a less, just in the middle. Why? Well, first we don't have even free water Movie selection is poor Seats don't recline in some places Food selection is carb based Forgot to mention, customer service on the web is the worst. Good things; Very reliable on schedule Kind crew
Last seat of Bussines Class it does recline but passenger seating behind kept pushing since they did not have space once my seat was reclined
We waited for one hour to deboard the plane after landing. That could be better
No free snacks nor drinks on very short 30min flight. Entertainment system is over wifi to your own phone or tablet, which is good but often a show or movie just stops and refuses to continue
I like the crew they're very friendly. I don't like. on five hour flight they not offered snacks. Any drink. Not even coffee
My reservation indicated that I has luggage allowance of 35lbs per person but the airline mentioned that this allowance was only for the rteurn leg of the trip and c harged me $244 additionally for the flight ! This felt like a bait and switch and the complaint is more to do with losing trust in booking through Kayak if the details displayed cannot be confirmed and trusted with the actual airline
It was fine, however they didn’t provide an accurate time for the delayed takeoff. And at the small local airport where we departed, you couldn’t go through security much earlier than the flight. Given the delay, my flight was waiting in the lobby of the airport for a long time. The airlines never told us when we could all travel through security. This was a nuisance because many of us were forced to sit on the floor of the lobby instead of the spacious gate waiting area.
It was a short flight. Seats are small but the flight to Peten is less than an hour.
Allow for not applicable in your survey if there is no food or entertainment on a very short flight of only one hour
Notsure if it was an issue with the airline or Guatemala Int airport, but boarding information, times posted, and boarding to aircraft where contadicting n confusing - relied on gate airline staff n fellow travelers.
The flight was cancelled 2 time as. The airline was stranded me in Guatemala with no solution.
My flight was cancelled 2 times with no solution left stranded in Guatemala.
Boarding was long and messy. No food was offered on the flight. No entertainemnt. Clean flight however.
