Avianca review by Stephane 2015-11-14

I had the most appalling experience with Avianca. I booked an airfare that simply got cancelled without notification. I arrived at the airport on the day of the flight to find out that my ticket was cancelled - 2 hours before departure! The Avianca customer service could not care less about the cancellation (it seems this is the way they regularly operate). They simply advised me to buy another plane ticket - with a price premium for buying it 2 hours before the flight... of course! This seems surreal to me: in 2015, not even a notification of cancellation? I am still fighting to get my money back on the price difference. I know I won't fly with them again because I do not want to have to deal with the stress of potentially arriving at the airport and handle a last minute airfare purchase.
