Im surprised there were empty seats considering they were giving them away. I thought people would be rushing to grab them or the crew would bring people forward.

I hope they see this video. Airlines have no idea how much 💰 we spend on them based on these videos. Many of us never have flown these airlines & these videos will make our decision. Middle Eastern & Asian airlines get it

That was during the recovery period after the pandemic. Avianca now have full business class on all transatlantic flights and also on key routes in the Americas and with full lounge access. Purchase the XXL tariff for full Business Class

Hi, I watched your video and missed the title of "Economy class" lie-flat. You travelled on both planes in business class so pointless to watch as I want to see the Economy flat seat. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This ticket isn’t technically business class. It’s sold as economy class and then you can pay for a seat upgrade into these seats, but you get the same service, meals, and priority of economy. It’s only business class on their transatlantic routes

As a Colombian, Avianca's decline in quality of service has been truly sad to see, but not really surprising. Travelling abroad to and from Colombia, Avianca is not my first, second or third option to be honest, mainly because the aircraft feel dated, crews always seem to have some sort of attitude and their prices are expensive compared to other airlines for international flights on the same routes. Regarding El Dorado, I've always been proud of what a great airport it is. Flying through BOG is a great experience although flying international out of El Dorado can get difficult because of the long lines at Migracion. All in all, great video. Hopefully someone at AV sees this video and they address some of the issues you mentioned. I've been starting to watch a lot of your video and I enjoyed this one a lot.

Yikes, imagine having to pay biz class fare for that A330 seat. Hope your experience in Bogata is better. I agreed those seats are DIRTY. Hope you wiped everything down before touching any surface. BTW, love your videos, keep them coming. Hope you get more visibility and subscribers soon...

Luckily they use only the 787 on their true business class routes now. But yes. A lot of sanitizing wipes hard at work on this flight!

Did your "flat bed"ticket include lounge access or did you get in using priority pass (or similar)?
@PatrickSheaAviation
Жыл бұрын
I got lounge access from being Star Alliance Gold access since my ticket was branded as “economy”. Lounge access is given on the transatlantic routes to business class passengers, but it can also be purchased

Avianca used to be one of the best airlines in Latin America and now it is one of the worst. No wonder is one of the cheapest business class now. I can get Business class from BOG to MAD round trip for only $1700 and still... I wont do it. Plus you still have to wear your mask the whole flight (Im not anti mask) but... i think that train already left the station.

I do hear you, however, worst case scenario, you are getting the cheapest possible “bed” in the sky rather than being economy. Just depends what you’re comparing it to. I do agree with you mostly though
