At 15 mins after takeoff captain inform plane needs to return to Medellin because a technical situation. The change flight to next day directly to Puerto Rico. They'll pay for hotel (a specific one), dinner, next day breakfast and transfers from and to airport. But when get to the hotel, hotel administration informs they don't have rooms available and that they did not confirm 'anything' to the airline. We wait until night, and nothing happens. My group of four stay in a hotel nearby and pay for it. Next day during check-in we explain to de counter employees all details and they call and make 'some things' and pay us hotel and dinner expenses. This employees are super heroes for us. Airline keeps us waiting for hours to resolve the situation. They could tell us, right away, that we select any hotel, pay for it and bring receipts next morning.

Everything was good. But this airline doesn't give ANY food. You have to pay for everything, including water.
I had a 7 hour flight from New York JFK to San Jose Costa Rica. There was no in seat entertainment, no seat recline and poor leg room. Nor did Avianca hand out water. Extremly dissapointed. Had I known this before i purchased my ticket. I would have never booked. Buyer beware!
Sería bueno informar que el vuelo es de bajo costo y saber que hay que pagar a bordo para conseguir algo de comida.
First of all, we bought a non-stop trip and in writing it indicated a direct flight to Miami. We did not only stopped in Nicaragua, but were force to disembark and were processed again through security as delinquents just to get back to the same plane. We're American citizens and Nicaragua is a communist country and an enemy of the US. We were therefore kidnapped by illegally and unnecessarily disembarked. We were overcharged $190 for the luggage that went into the cargo area, though we had already paid for a round trip. We didn't buy food on the way back, because you charge even for coffee, imagine if we had asked for water. No internet. We didn't watch entertainment.
We have to pay extra to check in this have to be free
The worst experience I could have. They are not efficient
Half of the computers to print bags labels weren't working Not enough people to check bags I missed my flight
Seats don't recline. Took my water away at the gate, the one I got AFTER the security check. Said "no liquids", while others were carrying duty free without problems. Made me buy water on the plane for $3.
Everything was good except the seat that it doesn't recline and wasn't uncomfortable to seat straight all flight it should at least recline a little bit.
I was pleasantly surprised. I booked the "club class" which was basically like Domestic First Class. The service was superior. Food was pretty good. Seats and cabin were comfortable. For the price I paid, I was very pleased.
The connecting flight lay over was 4.00 hours, the gate agent booked me on the next flight which was about to depart at no extra cost.
The ticket price was reasonable, food was okay, not the best. I would use the service again.
Actually the flight was on time. New plane, food was okay but not great.
Old plane, hard seats, 1.30 hours delay, while seating on the plane waiting for departure.
Great boarding. Everything was on time. Plane was a bit old and the crew could have provided better drink service.
Boarding was a little chaotic but it was a very large flight. It just wasn’t fast. And there was no noticeable difference between zones boarding.
Crew was pleasant. Aircraft was very dated and uncomfortable for our nearly 4 hour flight. We were in row 17 and they ran out of purchasable food by the time they got to us.
We were lucky enough to arrive at the right time. The staff at YYZ did our complete check in and luggage tags for us. Even made sure we knew where we were to head next and how to get there. It truly was one of the best and easiest check inside. Thanks team.
Compagnie efficace et bons prix. Les sièges en classe club pourraient être plus confortables.
I was shocked flying to El Salvador that they only give you water. Everything else you have to pay for. There is no wifi or entertainment and it’s an international flight. At least back in the day they had tvs on the plane and everyone watched the same movie. Also seats do not recline, even comfort or plus.
No water for a 5 hour flight entertainment not working seats with little room for knees when person in front of me reclined kept bumping my knees.
The good thing is the flight was on time and the crew was really nice. They can work better the arriving with staff
The inflight entertainment did not work on a 6 hour flight The cel phone chargers did not work There was a 45 minute wait for the luggage to get off the plane.
They could offer free food and drink like other international flights.
Delay almost an hour which meant when we got to Guatemala there where 3 flights at the same time, you can imagine the caos in customs, avianca doesn’t care about passengers or schedules
No complimentary snacks food, beverage (not even water), pillow and blanket on a 6 hours long flight (including economy comfort). A low form of nickeling an diming. Lost a recurring passanger over a soda. Avianca never again.
Flight attendants to show up on time, offer drinks and food.
Flight departure late. Got late in Colombia making us take a different flight next day. Avianca airport crew messed up my ticket so when a I got in Brazil I didn’t have a ticket for my destination. Had to buy a new ticket out of my pocket.
Backpack should NOT allowed put in the flight bin , only put it under the seat. I can't find space put my carry on luggage!!! and I pay for it ! that was very bad experience
We enjoyed that we boarded and took off on time. We didn’t like that our connection flight was a twenty minute walk through the airport with only one hour in between flights.
Not a fan of the diagonal partially enclosed business class seats or how they have to be converted to beds manually by crew. I prefer more isolation and user control for switching to lie flat.
The flight was delayed due to weather issue…WiFi did not work and even though I wanted to pay for WiFi I couldn’t buy it. Overall very disappointing even though I paid and reserved Business class
The real big issue with this flight was that it was 3 hours delayed. Other than that, no big praises or complaints.
The plane boarded and deplaned twice before the crew timed out. Flight was 7 hours late departing. Horrible experience!
Very good service and very helpful support staff (wheelchair service)
All planes flying to Mexico City are very old. Seats don’t even have power outlets.
The plane was delayed coming in and on the tarmac. I was coming from another flight so it made for a very long day. The stewardess kept trying to slam the overhead bins closed and I was worried that she had damaged my new luggage. They ran out of snacks and lccdsddd me a hummus box which was nice. It took them a very long time to pick up the garbage so I could not go to the washroom and had little time. To prepare for disbarment. The TV system was hard to control from the armrest and picture wasn’t clear. The crew did apologize several times for the lateness. It took the Denver airport an unusually long time to de-ice the plane.
I really enjoyed the staff and crew! Very positive and happy people! Made the experience easier! The entertainment was a bit lack luster. Better movie options as well as equipment that works smoother could be nice. My ear buds from the airline didn’t work and my tv screen had a terrible delay that made it hard to search for things to watch. Also the selections were very limited.
EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL HOSPITALITY THE HELP.THE SEATING FRIENDLY ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD RIDE NOT ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THEM
The whole day was a nightmare. Flight extremely late. Boarding was a mess of a nightmare.
Terrible… missed our flight due to ridiculously long time to go thru baggage check-in!
Can’t say there was anything I particularly liked. Seats were very tight, leather wrapped plastic. I followed up a much longer and cheaper trip from Honolulu on southwest, everything was phenomenal, this flight was the exact opposite. Blows my mind they charge for water of all things. One of the attendants seemed very rude, I watched a taller gentleman a couple rows forward with his knees pressed into the back of the seat ahead, while the woman in that seat leaned forward the entire flight, I’m sure because she could feel his knees. I’ll be avoiding spirit like the plague from here forward.
Flights are great except for the ticketing service on the terminal.. Too little employees taking care for lots of flights.
the landing was terrible. the plane touched down and had take off. the plane flew around and landed a second time.i understand the weather might of been the problem. It was a scary experience and no explanation from the captain.
The crew was great but it felt gross how spirit charges you for every little thing. Picking your seat should be free (first come first served). Beverages and food I get. But picking where I sit? Gross.
Spirit cancels my flight and I have been stuck here at the airline since March 3rd 2pm and still here everything is close they didn’t accommodate me with a room or nothing they rebooked my flight for 7:25pm to New Orleans then from New Orleans to Fort Lauderdale I Wang Arrive Homw Until The 5th of March I am missing work I hav e kids to get home to and I am currently stuck with no food nowhere to stay no renter cause everything close I spent all my money and I’m very disappointed trying to get home I’m very very mad frustrated and very disappointed
Great flight on time and kept us informed about our flight situation!!
I MISS MY FLY AND THEY NOT EVEN TRY TO GET ME ALEAST A CREDIT TO BUY ANOTHER TICKET BUT IS FINE I WOULD NEVER BUY A TICKET WITH SPIRIT EVER AGAIN
