    Thanks for this video. We've been looking at Avianca options for this year. My husband and I flew Avianca to Curaçao in 2018, and we LOVED the experience... comfortable, reclining seats, entertainment and food were included in a basic ticket. We recently learned that, now, Avianca started the XS-XL options, which we didn't have before. Didn't know what to think about the new Avianca options, but your video has been very helpful and informative.

    Glad to see a more detailed review of Avianca. I’ve flown them many times domestically in Colombia and once from Bogota to Boston. For a low cost carrier I think they’re great. On domestic flights arriving in Bogota, I’ve had my bags waiting for me on multiple occasions. Speaks a lot to their efficiency. 👍🏻

    I've flown with Avianca almost 20 times for the past 6 months, all Intl flights and I can tell you, things will change. They're changing those seats for a very thin and non reclining ones and very little legroom. If you want reclining seats, Avianca Plus. More space? Avianca Premium. And let me tell you, for me, with is the only option available, flights were not cheap at all. Yes, they took me from A to B. Basically, just one flight was delayed. But, the new seats are a disaster, no engaging crew, rude airport staff (excluding the staff in Brazil, which is the only one who treated me nicely), customer service is practically no available and they're still using the pandemic excuse to serve the same snack you had in economy, in business class, in a almost 6 hour flight. And they'll start charging for it (once I got a chicken sandwich with bones inside of it). Believe me, on short flights, I really don't care. But longer flights on these new seats will be a nightmare (I've flown 3 times on those new seats on an hour flight and it was terrible).

    For work, I typically use United or their partners. Avianca is by the worst star alliance partner. Got duped coming to Colombia booking through United thinking it was a flight run by them. It was an Avianca run flight. Seats were so compact and uncomfortable with no recline. On the way back I paid for a premium(business) seat upgrade and it was the worst business class upgrade.
    For what united charged for the flight, 4k round-trip, it's not worth it. The only positive is that I myself didn't pay for the flight with my own money.

I was visiting my grandparents and wanted to bring a few things as well (they live in El Salvador) and my bag was just slightly too large, so I had to pay $120 for another checked bag. They didn’t even mention the maximum volume that our carry on bag could be when we were booking our flight.

    I have flown with them 4 times in the past months. The flights I was on they were incredibly Xenophobic towards people that spoke English. I speak Spanish but saw how horrible they were to those that don’t. The “meals” are cold gross nonsense, just fast or take snacks. Also, the people who work on the gates & planes act like they just came out of the military. Check-in line ( not arrival, not TSA, just check in) is two hours in Miami. One elderly lady who requested a wheelchair (had pre-requested) was practically in tears after they said we don’t have one available and shrugged their shoulders. It was painful watching her suffer for two hours. Horrible.

    Your review is significantly different from the ones I'm reading on Skytrax. I want to believe this video but I'm incredibly wary now for my flight from Toronto to Bogota. I would love to hear from other people (esp. Canadians) and their experience with Avianca

      Horrible experience. Tried to move the dates due to personal problems. They had me on hold for hours to end up at a desk that did never answer. The following day same story. I needed to change with my first carrier, AlaskaAir. I ended up loosing the ticket and flying all the way down from Anchorage to Buenos Aires with Alaska and their partner Látam on credit miles. Well, guess what: they dropped my entire round trip, so when I tried to board my way back flight in SaoPaulo the could not find me. Personnel at the airport were very concerned but unable to do anything. I ended up buying a ticket with United. Now I have been waiting since May 17 and calling often and always some vague answers. All I want is credit!

      Pay the extra few bucks for an exit row seat. That route is one of the safest planes ever with one of the safest airlines, worth it.

    Hi! Found another video of yours! Lol! Did your fiance take a bookbag like yours? Us females like to pack way too many things 😫. Also, you had to checkin at the airport at those booths? With an actual person? I got an email that I can check in online and if I do it by the booths, it would be an extra charge for that service. I got the xs ticket. Flying to Guatemala thanks to your video! Haha

    Honest personal experience - I would not recommend Avianca. In fact, it's one of the worst airlines. They charge different fees on extra luggage ($70-$100, based on the date which I never heard of other airlines having this policy). Customer service on the phone were not helpful and are very nonchalant
