Awful. The flight wasn't actually operated by Iberia, but by American Airlines. I was unable to get my boarding pass and as a result missed my connecting flight.
Very good service from San Jose to Madrid . Ryanair service from Madrid to Brussels 😕
I wish they could put the pre-tsa check on the tickets or global entry.
Couldn’t keep my luggage and had no choice. Ground staff didn’t even bother to explain why.
We upgraded to Business class paying approx. $1,300. Despite the upgrade, we were still required to pay an additional €70 for a checked bag. Furthermore, we were informed that another €70 would have been charged for our carry-on bag, as it was 3kg over the limit. To avoid this, we had to move clothing from the carry-on into the checked bag, which was both inconvenient and frustrating. Given the significant amount paid for the Business Class upgrade, we found this treatment to be quite appalling and disappointing. We expected a higher level of service and consideration for our luggage, and this experience did not meet those expectations.
Great flight, short and good attention. Didn't took any food so can't say thing about it
At Barcelona, you have to get your passports checked before going to the E gates so give yourself time for that. The restaurants around the D and E gates are really limited compared to prior to passport control. On boarding, the gate staff tried to charge me EUR100 for my carryon, saying it was too big. I put it in their ‘measurement box’ and it fit with the top slightly protruding where the handle was. The gate staff then said my bag was ok to carry and put an ‘approved’ tag on my bag. I was bussed to the plane I boarded a ‘Level’ carrier which I had not heard of before. If you booked through a code share like American, you will be served food and alcohol on the plane. They do not provide complimentary ear phones or blankets. The internet was free but only for texting. WhatsApp worked but Spotify did not. Entertainment choice was adequate, movies were old and selection was limited. On arrival at LAX, my checked in bag was damaged as the wheel was broken. I am taking this up with Iberia. Their website and customer service was moderate in terms of user friendliness. You have to have all your documents and prepared to be patient and persistent. Let’s see how this goes. All n all, for the price I paid, I would recommend Level.
Excellent with no delays and according to the time schedule.
Its a bus taking you on and off the plane so if you have big luggage … more muscles needed
Flight LIN MAD. Checkin was fine (but I must admit that being a Platinum member I skip the lines). Security was fine (they have the new machines where you need not take laptops or liquids out). Longe was OK (BA). Boarding was a mess, the boarding gate personnel were rude and some should simply not be in a customer facing position. Flight in itself was fine, usual Iberia European coach. We were on time and actually time to deliver luggage was better than normal for Barajas
They didn't even give us water, everything was sold
They should at least offer water like other airlines, which seems like a humanitarian gesture to me
They gave me an upgrade but charged me for my bag. I felt abused because this had never happened to me before with an upgrade with another airline.
Well. It is a no frills airline. Annoying is that even for the long-haul everything has to be paid for separately. Once you add up the extras the flight is getting to expensive. Then one might as well fly with a legacy carrier which provides far better comfort. Changing flight at MAD airport is a nightmare. The worst airport in the world. Poor signposting, poor passport control, poor security check and long queues. I had 2h transfer time and spend in queues almost 1.5h
All flights with Air Europa you arrive late to the connections of other flights, I missed my train, I had to pay for my train again, the crew are antisocial, you are paying for a service, it is not free, thanks to the travelers they are there, it is the last time I fly with them,
Terrible experience - we won’t be flying with Air Europa again
The crew was not kind , just doing their job but very cold people
The insanely long lines at customs were chaotic and stressful. They also created a lot of stress among passengers. Including fights and threats. The hot food I purchased was cold, barely edible. The check in staff and crew were nice and the pilot good but the overall experience was very disappointing. Passengers were still insulting each other upon arrival.
No frills airlines. Tickets were reasonably priced for a short-term booking. But comfort is a big issue.
It was just okay. They overcharged me for a checked bag because I didn’t know it wasn’t included in the airfare.
A few years ago long flights 6 hours or so used to have video screens and they offered ear phones. The food cart used to come and drinks. Now absolutely nothing. Avianca is as bad as Spirit Airlines. Avianca will now be my last choice when booking my next flight.
Terrible, We had to stay in Bogota for two days due to weather but the airline did not provide for the same day flight. Only two days later
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
Business class seats did not lie flat. There was only powdered milk for your coffee....in Business Class!! Food was good.
Lounge for business was closed. Boarding was rush and stand by. Seat for business is just the middle seat blocked and some more leg room.
Flew with our two children. Paid $380 to check two bags (one was overweight). They then left the bags behind on Sunday, December 21st, with all our family’s clothes and family Christmas presents. When we arrived at our destination they told us the bags had not arrived, and they thought (but didn’t know) they were still in Boston, but that there’d be a flight the next day and the bags would arrive the next day. The next day we found out there was no flight, now we’re hoping we get our bags before we fly back out. Meanwhile, trying to get any engagement or accurate information is a waste of time. The folks at the call center are just gatekeepers, who can’t connect with any departments that actually do things to solve a problem. Getting information is made deliberately difficult. My biggest regret is that I’ve had a number of awful experiences with Avianca traveling between the US and Colombia, and still let myself get suckered into buying these tickets because the schedule was great. Never again.
COP 7,000 for a cup of mediocre coffee. I thought I was on Spirit Airlines for a minute. Otherwise the flight was fine. Nothing exceptional to report.
I paid over $200 for seat selection for these flights and I was still stuck on long international flights in seats that do not recline and do not have the head support cushion. At this point basically all airlines have those for all seats, and this really took me by surprise and made me not ever want to travel on Avianca. The Kayak agent who called me for the seat selection (Donovan) was courteous, but it seems the system for this doesn't work. I was offered seat selection, for the $200+, but without being able to see what I was selecting, with no guarantee where I'd be...and then I still ended up in terrible seats. On my way to, and especially after, a very intense business trip, the seat situation really soured my experience.
Overpriced checked bag price of $120 and they charge you for carryon if the size is not minimal of $120.
The connection time is too short to pass through customs and once you do clear customs the connecting flight is in another terminal that is not close.
