Copa definitely offers better service and price than other airlines.

Copa delayed the fight three times. We ended up flying about 24 hours after the original time.

Food was not good, no options for vegetarian or gluten free

The seats had plenty of leg room and the staff were very nice.

Captain and Crew were excellent. The Boeing 737-800 was showing its age. In flight entertainment system was sluggish and my Business Class seat on the outbound flight had some mechanical issues. Only real problem was the location of the Gate in Panama PTY. It was a 40 minute hike from Security to the Gate. There should have been some sort of warning about the distance.

This was my first time flying Copa but I'll definitely be back! Great service, professional agents, and delicious food for a fair price. Thanks for a great trip!

Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.

No boarding announcements leading to the usual confusion and people trying to board before their group number.

the planes are not modern there are no phone chargers

la atencion en el avion fue excelente, la facilidad del checkin es muy buena.

Very little leg room, none of the seats reclined, all food was $4 per item or more

At 15 mins after takeoff captain inform plane needs to return to Medellin because a technical situation. The change flight to next day directly to Puerto Rico. They'll pay for hotel (a specific one), dinner, next day breakfast and transfers from and to airport. But when get to the hotel, hotel administration informs they don't have rooms available and that they did not confirm 'anything' to the airline. We wait until night, and nothing happens. My group of four stay in a hotel nearby and pay for it. Next day during check-in we explain to de counter employees all details and they call and make 'some things' and pay us hotel and dinner expenses. This employees are super heroes for us. Airline keeps us waiting for hours to resolve the situation. They could tell us, right away, that we select any hotel, pay for it and bring receipts next morning.

Everything was good. But this airline doesn't give ANY food. You have to pay for everything, including water.

I had a 7 hour flight from New York JFK to San Jose Costa Rica. There was no in seat entertainment, no seat recline and poor leg room. Nor did Avianca hand out water. Extremly dissapointed. Had I known this before i purchased my ticket. I would have never booked. Buyer beware!

Sería bueno informar que el vuelo es de bajo costo y saber que hay que pagar a bordo para conseguir algo de comida.

First of all, we bought a non-stop trip and in writing it indicated a direct flight to Miami. We did not only stopped in Nicaragua, but were force to disembark and were processed again through security as delinquents just to get back to the same plane. We're American citizens and Nicaragua is a communist country and an enemy of the US. We were therefore kidnapped by illegally and unnecessarily disembarked. We were overcharged $190 for the luggage that went into the cargo area, though we had already paid for a round trip. We didn't buy food on the way back, because you charge even for coffee, imagine if we had asked for water. No internet. We didn't watch entertainment.

We have to pay extra to check in this have to be free

The worst experience I could have. They are not efficient

Half of the computers to print bags labels weren't working Not enough people to check bags I missed my flight

Seats don't recline. Took my water away at the gate, the one I got AFTER the security check. Said "no liquids", while others were carrying duty free without problems. Made me buy water on the plane for $3.

Worst airline , charge for everything even for water, seat space is very bad

The airline doesn’t provide nothing To their customers. No water , no food , no any drinks, no any kind of entertainment for free or at least paid with money cash currency . They sell some basic goods only credit card . Shame for an old international long distance trip. Never again .

Worst in 25 years. A 10 hours flight from Buenos Aires to Costa Rica and no free food! Then the food available for purchase was sold out in 5 minutes. I was travelling with two kids and wasn't ready to keep them happy with chips and cookies for such a long time. Avianca doesn't make sure that minors sit next to an adult so I was forced to pay 65 USD for each seat in a so called premium seat whic is exactly the same as the economy free seats. Never again with Avianca.

Terrible. Flight was delayed without explanation, airplane was in poor condition (old, dirty) and crew was not in a good mood.

I was shocked flying to El Salvador that they only give you water. Everything else you have to pay for. There is no wifi or entertainment and it’s an international flight. At least back in the day they had tvs on the plane and everyone watched the same movie. Also seats do not recline, even comfort or plus.

I did not like anything, first time I use company and for sure it will be the last time, they charge for simple operations that any other average airline wouldn't charge.

The good thing is the flight was on time and the crew was really nice. They can work better the arriving with staff

The inflight entertainment did not work on a 6 hour flight The cel phone chargers did not work There was a 45 minute wait for the luggage to get off the plane.

Awful. I checked in online and there was no option to pay for baggage, at the airport when I checked in my baggage was received and Iwas not charged. When I got to LA during the boarding process I was told I didn't pay for baggage, the crew resolved I was let in the plane. When I got to my final destination my baggage was not there. It took me two days to receive my baggage. Bad service ever!

It is better at the jfk than my home country. It was very easy and everything was on time.
