I booked a flight through Kayak to Brazil I have traveled to Brazil several times before Kayak Delta or LATAM never mentioned during the booking or in the pre flight process that the visa requirements to visit Brazil have changed earlier this year. I was unaware of this change and as such never got a visa and was unable to fly from JFK to Sao Paulo Add to this that Delta allowed me to fly from Boston to JFK which they should not have as I didn’t have a visa. It has been a terrible experience and a huge loss of money
Wish the seats were a little more comfortable.. it was a 6 hrs nonstop trip. But the crew was courteous and w a smile
I like this airline a lot no problems at all, except being forced to check a carry-on bag ., Overall very good airline
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
Poor handling of carry on luggage. We had a 8 hour stop in Santiago, are over 70 and, in spite of paying full fare they wanted to send carry on to luggage hold. No empathy. We had to show that several group 4/5 passengers were not sending their carry ons before they finally let Is keep them. Very poor .
Really bad experience – delayed for 6 hours without any notice, no food or drinks provided, and stuck in the horrible Cartagena airport.
The flight was late. Please do not delay next time.
Boarding was confusing with a delayed flight because there was no English translation
Because the flight was late, we lost the connection to Brazil. You, Delta delayed, and you Delta anticipated the door closing in 15 min from Miami to GRU. Why? It caused a lot of stress! I almost could not see my mother in law alive because of your delay.
My entertainment did not work. I was very tired from the botched connection, and the poor sleep
Unfortunately had horrible experience Originally booked business class from La Paz to Miami Flight was delayed for 2 hours with no clear explanation
Our flight was canceled and we were put on a different flight, but we were never notified of the change until we checked in. BOA provides no beverage service during the flight and there is no in-flight entertainment. Airline staff tried to tell us that we were not allowed one personal item and one carry-on bag per person, but instead that we were only allowed one item aboard per person, which contradicts their written luggage policy. Airline staff also claimed that a car seat counted against our carry-on allowance, even though our child had his own ticket and is required to use a car seat on board per airline policy.
The crew was great, professional and polite. Good meal too. The flight was full and we departed on time out of Miami. I did feel cramped in my seat for the long overnight flight, which made it hard to sleep
This airline and their crew is so professional and kind, the trip was short and easy.
It was a very smooth process. Everything about the Airline like a well oiled machine.
Muy horrible experiencia, cambiaron dos veces la hora del vuelo resultando en una espera exagerada. No dan información oportuna. Abordadnos el avión retrasado el vuelo y esperamos dentro del avión por 35’ más mientras subían como 6 carros de cajas al avión. Muy mala logística y servicio.
6 horas de retraso en el vuelo sin ninguna explicación por parte de la aerolínea.
Always late, the service is a sandwich, no comfort at all…
They had a problem with their air conditioning system and we almost had heat strokes because they blasted HEATED AIR for almost 40 minutes and there was literally no air. This is the worst airline in Bolivia. Can't believe we have no other options sometimes.
BOA is truly the worst airline in Bolivia. It's a shame we sometimes need to use it cause we have no more options.
I handed in my suitcase in perfect condition at SAL Airport. And in MIA Airport I received it with one corner broken and the wheels bent.
I like the crew members they're very friendly. Clean plane. The flight was on time. I dont like the comfort my car seat its better that the plane seats. They charge for everything. This airline was very good. Now it's a low cost airline
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
I couldnt recline the seat. Other than that crew was very attentive and helpful. Thsnk you
This low cost airline looks and fells more like a local bus. In a 6 hour flight not being able to recline a seat is torture. The only thing available with no charge is a glass of water provided by, mostly, rude staff. Our luggage didn’t arrive
6 hour flight and have to pay for everything 100 dollars to add a carry-on bag is insane
Horrible experience. Flight cancelled. Arrived at destination 12 hs later. No one gave us an answer or any information. Very very poor service. We won’t ever travel again with Avianca
Usb plugs for charging your phone does not work in every flight. uncomfortable chairs even in higher categories.
Very uncomfortable planes , poor service on the plane , take your own water so you don’t dehydrate , in a 6 hs flight they sold one time food and beverage . 1 plane was delayed 6 hs , I lost a connecting flight . Then in the way back they announce a delay of 2 hs so I had to take a different flight to arrive on time for my connecting flight . Avoid this airline .
The check in is the only positive thing in Avianca. The seat is the most uncomfortable I have traveled, the distance is minimal.
