£514 Find Cheap Flights to Santa Marta – Compare and Save

My original flight was canceled. Despite the crew have helped all the passengers, the ones that were flighting straight to Bogota were the last one in the list of priority. And the case was simple to solve - just reallocate us to the next flight available and send us to the hotel. I understand the priority are the ones with layover/connection, but if the protocol for the ones going straight is the same for everyone, it was better if the crew told us since the beginning. It could have saved time for us.

It’s a new plane, but the most important detail is that the economy class seat doesn't recline—it’s completely fixed. The only one that reclines is in Comfort Class.

I like the crew who were very helpful in ensuring documents were in order and problems resolver in a timely manner. However I did not like the fact that I had to have my checked bag inspected.I was concerned I would have missed my flight. I was also trying to check in online only to realise that was not possible.

We had a quick connection in Bogota. When we landed, they waited on the tarmac for 25 minutes before they let us deplane. I told the stewardess that we had less than 15 min to get to our next international flight. She did nothing except tell us we had time to get there. We found out later that they already scheduled us for a later flight, but they didn’t say anything until we ran to our gate. The plane was still there but they wouldn’t let us board. When they changed our flight, they gave my wife and I a voucher for food that was less than $40 in value. That buys very little in the Bogota airport.. it barely paid for two fruit juice drinks. There lack of communication was very unprofessional. This will be our first and last time using Avianca.

The seats we had, did not recline and there was very little cushion. There was no entertainment module in the seat.

We do not like to board by shuttle then off the tarmac

A flawless trip, great experience. Keep up the good work!

The airline did not allow enough time for the Columbia checkpoint

Overall, the flight went well and the service was good. However, there was a very frightening moment during landing in Bogotá. Just as the plane was about to touch down, it suddenly went back up into the air. The aircraft was not descending straight and seemed to move left and right, which made the situation feel unstable. This was quite scary. After going back up, the plane circled for about 15 minutes before attempting to land again. Although I understand that safety always comes first and situations like this can happen, it was still a shocking experience for passengers.

Seating was tight. Seats don't recline. Initial flight was cancelled. Lost two days of vacation.
