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.
So so, you feel like you have to pay for everything each time
please see previous response; it covers the whole travel trajectory.
I enjoyed it! In that case, I should have been offered this choice. On my first trip to Miami, I was asked to pay $320 for my luggage just for getting it totally broken. I cannot accept this situation at all!!!!
Be very careful of the initial low price because Avianca wil bill you for a carryon of $120 or a checked bag for $120. Also, be careful with connections because the customs entry process is slow and the connecting terminal is not close.
My whole return flight itinerary, 3 flights, got canceled without any warning to me because I missed one of the earlier flights 3 weeks ago
They charged me $120 to check one bag and then charged me another $120 for a carryon. Ridiculous!
Horrible. I have been trying to speak to a representative to know why I was over charged but I get redirected to AI Vianca everytime with no results. Is there an agency that oversees airline gouging? I will never fly or recommend Avianca to anyone not that you care.
Almost we lost our connection from Bogota to Aruba 🥴 Because we get out late from the plane of Medellin
They no longer offer anything free to eat or drink, everything is sold, not even a bottle of water is offered for free.
I paid for Viva play and most of the time didn’t work and also I order some drinks and the price was to expensive.
The terminal and gate was never the right one announced in the Viva App, neither in screens, moved from one terminal to another
The smart/express line to check in was a mess, employees not doing the process smooth and quick, using their mobile phones, talking to their coworkers
My flight was changed 4 tienes , delaying my arrival lore than 5 hours
Everything was okay, but boarding begins late and when I was returning there was a gate change. The app never showed the change.
Flights were delayed both ways, with no communication provided by the boarding desk. Delay time kept changing and the boarding process is a pain, as it is so disorganized. Would not recommend.
NOTHING.. THEY CANCEL MY FLIGHT WITHOUT NOTICE AND ENDED UP BUYING A NEW ONE..
They changed the booking I had twice. I got an email last night at 10pm (which I missed of course). Went to the airport this morning and found out it got cancelled due to plane maintenance issues. They offered a flight for tomorrow morning and I just got an email with cancellation notice. Again!! I would not recommend booking with this airline.
THE AIRLINE FUCKEN SUCKS... NO DAMN PROFESIONALS.. NO CURTESY THEY CANCEL THE DAMN FLIGHT AS ITS ABOUT TO TAKE OFF
