The plane doesn’t have screens but you can use your decide for entertainment. Pack a snack too since they don’t offer any, and the meal is pretty small and you will get hungry

Great! The airline is very spacious and the crow was good.

Not being in the back row and having to pay for a better seat

The flight was 6 hours delayed due to equipment problems, I had to spend my night in the airport terminal in tight quarters. A bag of chips was all they offered, Then I missed my connecting flight and waited another 2 hours. All in all that trip took me almost one day.

it was great! Boarded on-time, reasonable leg room, pleasant staff, decent food. The only thing is we were directed to Terminal 2 when the gate was actually in Terminal 1. Smooth ride. Landed early. Got off plane easily and quickly.

Very long delay but we just made the connection. The requested wheel chairs were not there so I had to assist/carry BOTH of my parents to the gate while carrying their bags so we could make the connection. The plane had no entertainment system and NO WIFI, legroom zero. Restrooms on ALL of flights were dirty and one restroom did not even work properly. I was surprised to see COPA like this since my flight with them in 2013 was incredible, the seats were amazing and the food options were spectacular. Of course, I see this kind of service on many airlines now, with services and hospitality at an all time low. The worse part of the trip was seeing my 90 year old parents go through hell on these flights and having to try and rush to a gate to make the next flight. Never again

Crew were all excellent. Wheel chair access for my parents was very good, although it took some time. Plane was ok but entertainment system did not work. NO WIFI on plane so could not get other things done while flying or listen to my Apple Music on my iPhone.

Just a minor inconvinient with weather delay! but not Copa's fault

It's the first time I couldn't check in online because they told me I had to call because there was a problem. Despite having called twice, I had to check in at the airport

I was supposed to have a lay flat seat but they switched planes and there was only a chair

Very poor ! Latam is really excellent in mistreating its premium passengers and their family. They should go out of business for good.

Please guy check the food I almost end up to the hospital

Very slow boarding, 1 hour late - uncomfortable chairs and crew barely speaking english even at the airport!

4 hours delay, awful food and missed all my connections because of the delay to be rebooks for a flight 10 hrs later back home and never actually make it to my final destination

It was fine. no food or entertainment , but was only a 40 minute flight.

The boading process was fine. Had to wait for bus from tarmac to terminal. Had to go through 2 or 3 security checkpoints in Lima to make next connecting flight.

No food optional ( they offer just pasta, no second option, the soda without carbonation, I asked for snacks and they said give a minute, I never got it) I believe they (crew) don't care about it (people)

Check-in was a total disaster, almos a full hour in the line

Airline lost my luggage and after 20 days it has not been returned nor refunded any money.

I do not speak Spanish or read in Spanish When asking for help, people were hard to find they spoke quickly and pointed a lot directions for where to go and what to do we’re unclear. Which made my traveling uneasy.

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.

So so, you feel like you have to pay for everything each time

please see previous response; it covers the whole travel trajectory.

Overpriced checked bag price of $120 and they charge you for carryon if the size is not minimal of $120.

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

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.

Felt very cramped in the back of plane. There was an hour delay for take off sitting on the runway, but we did arrive on time. They charge $120 for carry on bag and backpack at the airport its ridiculous.

Almost we lost our connection from Bogota to Aruba 🥴 Because we get out late from the plane of Medellin

Same experience, very poor food, drinks or entertainment while flying. There are some products offered to buy but only using debit or credit cards . No friendly for seniors or people without cards.

Avíanca now has cero entertainment, food and even water for their travels in economy. We spend all 6 or more hours ignored or we are offered products to buy using only credit card .
