Avianca

Flying from Bogota to San Juan they closed the flight one our before departure ,while we were making a 45 minutes line. We made it to the counter 7 minutes after their one our closing or 53 minutes before the flight departed and were told we should be there 3 hours before!!!

They had no flight available for two extra days and wanted to charge about $1,000.00 per ticket .
Had to change to Copa that charged us $750.00 per ticket.

Nobody told us about this supposed 3 hours requirement .

Beware of this abusive Colombian Airline

miss our connection.

After fighting. They were able to get our flight to “reopen” and get us on the flight. After running through the airport because of Avianca poor customer service, we got to our gate and barely made our flight.

After arriving in Columbia, Avianca called my name for “extra security measures.” They removed me from my friend, searched me very extensively, including putting her hands down my pants, and never once able to explain to me in English what they were doing or why. They were rude and after 4 agents, no one was willing to speak to me In English, despite me requesting it over and over. Once I final
