More than 3 hours of delay and not even a snack was given.

There was absolutely no food or drink service unless it was paid for. I am not used to this.

Avianca: you pay for a high-end flight and you fly like a low (very low) cost!

50% of flights book with Avanca have issues either reschedualed cancelled and their actions further supports their poorly managed airline do not use them only if there is no other options

The only thing I like about Avianca is that it is the airline of last choice and they never disappoint my expectations

Pros: "The crew was nice. I had the front seats ehich were super comfortable."
Cons: "My wife lost the fly for delay in the first fly from Cúcuta to bogota"
Cons: "I purchased a fully refundable ticket. When the flight was canceled I got squat. Eventually got a voucher from Avianca. I paid for a ticket to get money back, not a voucher. Kayak where is my money!"
Cons: "They put mi to buy a reverse ticket from Medellin to Madrid, . I dont see the reason !!!!! I dont use it"
Pros: "Yes, the travel was excellent, from Medellin to Bogota and from Bogota to New York, thank you so much."
Cons: "The next time I will contact you to buy my tickets to travel."
