Cons: "Empower and inform your phone customer service to actually be able to resolve customer questions and issues. Not ruin people’s vacations by changing their flight so many times and sending them illogical revised itineraries."
Pros: "Fly on time, nice food."

Cons: "Check in was incredibly slow, food was substandard"
Pros: "Confortable and on time"
Cons: "The airport did not have the gate on the screens (airports fault). But when asking the crew of Avianca no one knew. We had to search for an office when they where boarding cause no one knew. Then they told us (and a group of other people) run to the gate (almost loosing the flight)."
Pros: "Probably one of the most modern and comfortable planes I've even been on."
Cons: "Flight was delayed by an hour"

Cons: "The fact that I lost my flight because website vayama changed my flight itinerary and didn't airlines know"
Cons: "They moved the original flight (direct flight) for a flight with stop in bogota. They did this because the flight NYC-bogota was empty. They delay the flight nyc-medellin to mive the people and fill the bogota flight. I need to arrive at 1 because i was attending a funeral and i couldnot attend the funeral"
Pros: "El viaje entre Quito y Guayaquil es bastante corto, por tanto, no hay mucho espacio para conocer la amabilidad del personal o la calidad de la comida, porque no hay tiempo para servir sino bebidas. El aeropuerto está bien pero debe mejorar el espacio de la sala VIP"
Cons: "No permiten el ingreso a la única sala VIP del aeropuerto con programas de fidelización de compañías diferentes a las ecuatorianas."
Pros: "I booked the flight for my girlfriend. Although she had a reservation code, the flight was cancelled because she didn't respond to a message. She doesn't check her email regularly. When she opened her email this morning, she discovered that her reservation was cancelled. After getting the reservation code, we didn't think that additional confirmation would be needed from either of us. To rebook the flight would have been substantially more expensive."
Pros: "I liked the food service on this very short trip, including a very heavily poured rum and coke!"
Cons: "Flight was delayed about an hour."
Cons: "I was first on a direct flight to Medellin then they changed me to a connrcting flight to bogota then to Medellin. A direct flight that would have been one hour changed. Now it was a 3 hour flight. Well it ended up being like a 6 hour flight with so many delays. Ended up losing a whole day because of it. I was not happy about it."
Cons: "Avianca cambió nuestros vuelos directos de Isa y regreso sin consultarnos por Bogotá Habiendo otras opciones mejores"
Pros: "Reasonable choice of entertainment. Clean."
Cons: "Food poor. Not enough drink. Hold up in tunnel for boarding - long hold up for children and passengers over 60."
Cons: "Delays and out of shape airplanes."
Cons: "This is complete false advertisement and a blatant example of bait and switch. After booking 4 direct flights from New York to Barranquilla to Cartagena to Medellin and back to New York, only one of which was through bogota, I got 3 notifications that all my flights were now going through bogota with 3.5 hr layovers! Worst airline ever."
Cons: "We seats assigned and they didn’t let us board the plane. We had to spend a night in Bogota. Even though we where clear with the Avianca people we had early meetings in Medellin."
Pros: "Quick flight"
Cons: "No entertainment"
Pros: "Smiling faces,friendly and helpful crew . The flight was a little late, and so we're the shuttle buses. Then almost made up the time on the flight, must have caught a tail wind."
Cons: "Late start, makes you a little nervous that you are going to be late."
Pros: "I arrived with plenty time and no person would help me check in unprofessional no knowledge where to send customers and I end up late with 5 min to spare my flight was at 9am I arrived at 7:25am and was not with enough time to board"
Cons: "No one helped me get to the gate or even check me in"
Pros: "Entertainment system"
Cons: "Flight attendants were rude"
Pros: "Flight was quick but equipped with music shows and games. They informed us they would transfer bags for us which was great because I would have to worry."
Pros: "The crew was nice and got me a salad and a roll"
Cons: "Avianca forgot my vegetarian meal even though I requested it a week before. This is unacceptable."
Wingo changed departure time 3 times and kept us moving from one gate to a different one. A 1 one flight took me more than 8 hours. Don't fly wit Wingo, the worst experience ever
Nothing the vendor services and overall process was not an experience I would ever want to revisit again .

Cons: "everything was great"

Pros: "Fast and orderly boarding. Everything was as they described in their web page. Read carefully and you will know what to expect. On time and very attentive personal"
Cons: "None really. Is a low cost airline, do not expect amenities or entertainment or confort."
I missed my flight waiting for PCR results. I was hoping that a circumstantial accommodation could be made to help me get into the flight, as I was trying to get to the gate a little over an hour before the flight was scheduled to take off, but I wasn’t allowed. I do understand it’s atypical, but it could’ve been possible for someone to help me get to the gate with a little over 30 minutes to spare…not easy, but not impossible.
Pros: "Nothing!!!!"
Cons: "Not to mention Copa owes me $1000 they stole from me after canceling a flight and not giving the money back, they took our water we bought 10 feet from boarding in the airport and had one offer of a small cup of water on a 7 hour flight. Pathetic service, not, cramped planes. I will not fly with them again!"
Pros: "I got home"
Cons: "Boarding experience for star alliance gold members Give something to eat! Your lounge areas don’t provide any real food. Just some crackers w/ the worst coffee ever. Maybe I won’t fly again with copa"
Cons: "A bigger plane"
Pros: "I really loved the seat and the many different positions to make the flight comfortable. I also loved the plane overall. I felt less turbulence"
Pros: "Good service. Kind personnel."
Cons: "No entertainment onboard"
Pros: "Comfortable chair"
Cons: "They didn’t finish the in flight service supposedly due to turbulence but the plane was actually fine"
Cons: "Ticket agents were friendly knowledgeable and helpful"
Pros: "Better entertaining sistem"
Cons: "Better entertaining sistem"
Pros: "The crew was kind. Movies were available, as well as a charging port for phones."
Cons: "We were prohibited from bringing water onto the airplane. However, this didn't seam to apply to all water bottles. My empty plastic water bottle had to be discarded, however, my friend's 32oz metal water bottle with water in it was allowed on the plane. She was able to get her water bottle filled during the flight, but my water bottle was tossed by the staff prior to the flight. How does this make sense? This was a 7 hour flight during which only 3 times were we given a small cup of water. That is crazy! Airplanes make you feel so dehydrated, and three small cups of water is not enough for 7 hours, that is absurd. Please, just like all other airlines and flights, allow people to purchase or fill their water bottles (regardless of the material of the bottle) prior to the flight so that they can remain comfortable."
Pros: "On time"
Cons: "Expensive airline for type of service. Hate their monopoly in the region. Plane news some update.. very bad sandwich, it’s better not to give anything than that."
Pros: "Crew was great, boarding was relatively easy and smooth. Seemed to be enough overhead storage."
Cons: "Seats are super small, as are meals. 2 bathrooms for 100 passengers. If you have an older aerobus be prepared for shared screens and tops 1 movie in a 4.5hr flight. Could use more beverages."
Pros: "The crew had an attitude problem."
Cons: "Copa, lost my luggage."
Pros: "Onntime and very goid service"
Cons: "Panamá boarding room"
Pros: "In time, friendly crew."
Cons: "Entertainment options are limited."
Cons: "Nothing"
Pros: "Crew was great seat was v comfortable but good choices were not good .and the entertainment system was v mediocre .make sure u download something to watch on your phone prior to the flight .also u can pre-order vegetarian meals"
Cons: "food choices and entertainment could have been better"
Pros: "Realmente contento con el servicio del crew de Copa.recomiendo"
Cons: "Recomiendo usar Copa para todos los viajes hacia sur America......gracias."
Cons: "The problem was some other travelers. A family traveling with 2 one of them a toddler. The family arbitrarily changed there own seats which created problems when the rightful passengers arrived. The toddler was unusually fussy and cried a lot. Not COPA's fault but bothersome non the less."
Cons: "They had to change the plane we took on the flight which left several people without a seat. We made it on, only because we were traveling with a baby otherwise it would have added to an already awful travel day."
Cons: "Entertainment options like a Movie"
Pros: "I was in need of a wheelchair, but seems like nobody cares. I could not go to the restroom, because the disorganization of the wheelchairs transportation. Almost lost my connection!"
Cons: "They need to be more organized and be more efficient with our disable necessities."
Pros: "Getting off"
Cons: "The crew should be bilingual, not leaving an hour late and avoiding being the 6th plane to take off"
Pros: "We waited o9ver 1/2 hours so our flight was ;35 minutes late arriving in Medellin."
Pros: "nothing"
Cons: "Change flight without notifying me"
Cons: "I didn’t know I need an app downloaded ahead of the flight in order to watch movies. They did not have seatback screens on this flight"
Pros: "Let me think..."
Cons: "I called Copa Airlines and the person on the phone told me they had NO online checkin. She told me I had to drive to the airport (SFO - 60 minutes from my home) to check in!!! Poor information. Bad food. Smells awful, cheap. Poor wine. Don't serve anything rather than bad food. They seem rather disorganized. Captain and copilot were okay. They landed the plane."
Pros: "Convenience, price , service"
Cons: "Late take off but it was not the airlines fall , Captain apologized many times"
Pros: "-Nice breakfast snack after takeoff -More legroom than most coach seats -Efficient crew"
Cons: "De-planing could use some improvement. People who do pre- boarding due to disability or who have small children slow down the process of others trying to get off the plane."
Cons: "Once again the plane was delayed, thank God this time I made it to my connection."
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Pros: "Plenty of seating in waiting area. Good seat good flight"
Cons: "Seats didn’t recline but I managed to sleep the first hour anyway"
Cons: "My seat would not recline and when I mentioned this to the flight attendant, she said it was because it was an aisle seat. Safety was her reason. Other aisle seats I have had did recline. The result, was back pain. I have repeatedly tried to have my last two trips to Chile and Colombia register frequent flyer miles on Copa. I was not able to figuire out how to do this on the web site. When I asked for help at the Copa counter, I was told it can only be done on the web site. Fortunate, my recent trip to and from Ecuador did register frequent flyer miles."
Cons: "bad web site lost luggage stolen items from luggage no option to wrap my luggage in plastic unfriendly staff late flight and take off"
Pros: "Service, is great the staffing very courteous and polite."
Cons: "Space, entertainments and other passengers behavior. Nothing that really can be controlled by your services."
Pros: "Overall good safe trip"
Cons: "Long trip"

We had in flight entertainment, a very friendly, welcoming and attentive bilingual crew on all legs, and... basically everything I would want in a flight. My 84 year old grandmother who flies almost yearly said this was one of her best airline experiences"
Pros: "Food, short length of flight"
Cons: "Colombian customs forms were only in Spanish; would've helped if crew offered assistance to those who needed some help w translation"
Cons: "Service"
Cons: "No organization and you should not sell more tickets than you can in an air plain. Just one persone attending the counters."
Pros: "Crew was very supportive. My son went to eat , but distance to food court was very far. It took him a long time to order , and almost missed our flight."
Cons: "from Panama to Medellin they could not regulate air temp, hot, cold hot cold.."
Pros: "The personal was constantly there to help you out with anything. Some of them could not be so serious all the time."
Cons: "There wasn't any type of entertainment, the magazine onboard could have a crosswords puzzles, sudoku, or any other type of game. One of the male flight attendant hit me while going thru the cabin and didn't apologize, in fact he didn't turn around to say sorry."
Pros: "They gave food."
Pros: "Flight on time and crew with an excellent service level"
Cons: "The check-in process is not that easy, and impossible to make from a Smartphone or a Tablet"

Pros: "Ver y good"
Pros: "The attention at the cointer ii was good."
Cons: "It needs to be more careful in checking the laggers when there are 2 passengers. My laggers were registed with my friend name and hers with my name. And my lagged was pick to be check but it has my friend's mane. So she went down for the chequing no problem,but be careful in the future"
Pros: "Everything regarding the flight was perfectly fine, apart from the food. I really liked being able to choose my seat."
