Mexico City to Bogota. My flight was supposed to depart Oct 5th at 1:28am and it has been delayed to 8:40pm because of a sick crew member but passengers were only notified after midnight on Oct 5th. Many people had connecting flights to other parts of Colombia and some to Madrid. The airline did not offer any type of compensation. I called the customer support lines and no one would help. Overall horrible experience.

Santiago to Cartagena via Bogota. Delay flight that depart from Santiago from 7.53 to 10.50, and delay again flight from Bogota. My holiday in Cartagena was destroyed when Avianca sent e-mail to tell me flight from Bogota to Cartagena was canceled and offered new flight to me. I tried reply e mail many times but they were not responding to me.

Boston to Cali via Bogota. Avianca is a terrible airline. Long, long lines to check-in, no or extremely clunky online check-in, extremely long waits for the call center when things inevitably hit the fan. To top it all off, they spontaneously change flights by a full 24 hours with little to no warning. That's what they did to me (changed a Saturday flight to a Friday flight on a Thursday) which forced me to spend another $350 on a separate flight with a real airline because Avianca was too incompetent to be able to get me on another flight. Avianca is a joke, save yourself the time, money and frustration by flying another airline even if it costs a little more upfront.

Do not waste your money. Our honeymoon flight was cancelled and they won't do anything for us. We have spent $250 on a hotel and will have to book another in Miami and they won't give vouchers or do anything for us except have us wait in an extremely long line to be rebooked tomorrow. I will never support this airline again - so disappointing

I had a total of 4 flights with Avianca over a 10 day period travelling from Peru to Colombia and within Colombia. The flights were generally fine and while nothing to rave about, served its purpose at a reasonable fare. However the final flight from Bogota to Lima was a disappointing experience. Poor service from the Avianca ground staff at El Dorado who did not let us check in early even though it was mentioned to us previously that it was possible in Bogota. No explaination was given as to why this was the case. The check in process was also the slowest I have witnessed and this includes the process on many Budget carriers in Asia. The staff also continue to speak to us in Spanish even though it was clear that our Spanish was sub standard and to top it off, she could actually speak English fluently. The boarding process was a mess with passengers being allowed onto the aerobridge but without being able to enter the plane for a few minutes. A disappointing final experience on Avianca.

Terrible experience with Avianca. Got screwed by them multiple of times on the same ticket. First they changed my ticket to arrive 36 hrs after my original stated time and changed my flight from a 5hr direct to an 14hr stop layover. Asked to change it and they could not accommodate. So I had to book another direct flight last min. on Jetblue at my own expense! To make matters worst on the return flight with them they changed it from from a 5.5 hr direct flight to an 8hr flight because they added a stop. They wait until 4 days before to advise of this so you cant cancel and get a refund since all other flights are either too expensive or booked! I asked for compensation via voucher or at least an upgrade and they just smiled with a no we cant.

Miami to Bogota. First of, the dedicated business check in is a joke! It took me longer to check in (25 minutes) than my friend who was traveling coach and who had arrived after me. Then the lounge at MIA is a disgrace: dirty, no food selection whatsoever - what took the cake was boarding. No priority boarding for business class pax, everybody boards at the same time! Finally, not even go as I boarded the airline, just two flight attendants giggling. I’m platinum on Flying blue and gold in the executive club, they don’t treat their business customers as such. Pity

Lima to Buenos Aires. This was the latest of several flights I have taken with Avianca over the past few years, and again I was very satisfied. The staff were all courteous and professional and really seemed to go the extra mile. The seats felt more comfortable than average for economy class. The in flight meal was slightly below average quality and there was no individual seat back in flight entertainment but, since it was a relatively short flight it wasn't a major problem.

Wow that is not good at all. I was considering using them next week to fly home and see my mom and dad but I deicded to go and use Southwest instead. I saw that nickle and dime when I was trying to book the flight. I started at $145 for just me and by time I was done ticket was $300. I agree I will not use them either.

We purchased tickets to go to El Salvador one way. We purchased their business class and the return we purchased coach +. They informed us that some of the perks from business class will not be valid because our returned trip is on coach and so the round trip is considered coach, the lesser value of the ticket purchased. We are basically being penalized for paying more. I explained that I didn't want the entire trip to have the same perks as the business class, but that I expected that the business class ticket, I would be able to change travel etc. without the penalties as is awarded in business class. Infuriating. We have not travelled, and I'm hoping we don't have any problems.

Having flown before with US or European airlines, Avianca was a huge improvement in ease of journey & great value for money & best ever luggage allowance. Instant check- in in both London and Pereira and the best ever changeover in Bogata with fantastic helpful staff throughout. Bags sent direct so did not have any customs or repeat check-in issues when we changed flights. Food was good both ways with pillows, foot rest, blanket & good films, the only thing lacking was legroom which was not the best I have known crossing the Atlantic overnight.

BOCAS DEL TORO-PANAMA/EL SALVADOR-SAN JOSE-PANAMA, I flew them when they were transitioning from Taca, I found the service to be very good, but ground staff are surly and quite arrogant at times! I felt they hated their job, onboard service in bizz class is very good, superior to their main competitor in central america! prices were a bargain but they tend to be expensive, would fly avianca again for sure.
