Avianca Airlines Booking & Reservations

Avianca Airlines S.A. (AV) is the flag carrier of Colombia (since 1919). It is based out of Bogota, with a main hub at El Dorado International Airport. 

Avianca works as the flagship airline among a group by combining its operations with them on a codeshare system. This makes it Colombia’s largest airline, and the second largest airline in Latin America after Chile’s LATAM. With a fleet size of 90-plus aircraft, an Avianca Airlines booking can take you to 187-plus destinations across 27 countries. 

Avianca offers two travel classes—Economy Class and Business Class

Avianca is a Skytrax certified 3-star airline and a member of Star Alliance. Its subsidiaries include Avianca Cargo, Avianca Costa Rica, Avianca Ecuador, Avianca El Salvador, Avianca Express, Avianca Guatemala, Avianca Honduras, and Helicol.

Avianca filed for bankruptcy in a New York City in May 2020 and liquidated its subsidiary, Avianca Peru.

Avianca Airlines Travel Classes

Avianca Airlines offers travel classes on its flights:

1. Economy Class
2. Business Class

Economy Class 

(Fare Classes: Q, A, R, Y, B, M, E, H, U, Q, V, W, S, T, K, G, and L)

If you’re flying on an international route (outside of Colombia), Avianca offers several fare options within its Economy Class:

• XS fares are typically promotional fares that include a carry-on bag and a personal item. Anything else comes for an additional price, such as checked baggage, seat selection, etc. XS fares cannot be changed or refunded, and don’t allow you to earn redeemable miles on its loyalty program known as Avianca LifeMiles. 
• S fares include a carry-on bag, and everything else must be purchased. However, you can earn redeemable miles on an S fare. 
• M fares allow you to bring a checked bag and earn redeemable miles. These fares are refundable (for a fee) and upgradeable to the next class of service if you’re a LifeMiles Elite member. 
• L fares include 2 checked bags. These fares also include complimentary Avianca Plus upgrades and allow you to change, cancel, and refund your flight.
• XL fares include 2 checked bags and allow you to upgrade to Business Class. You’re also allowed to change, cancel, and refund your flight—but for a fee. 
• XXL fares include everything you will typically need—such as 1 carry-on bag, 2 checked bags, seat selection, Business Class upgrade, accrual of miles, and complimentary flight changes or refunds.

Business Class

(Fare Classes: J, C, D, Z, and P)

Avianca’s Business Class seats vary by aircraft type and route. 

Major features include: 

• Baggage allowance. Business Class fares include 2 checked bags of up to 70lb/32kg each, 1 carry-on bag of 22lb/10kg, and 1 personal item. Elite status members are entitled to extra checked baggage. For exact baggage allowance, use the Avianca Baggage Calculator.
• Boarding. Avianca’s Business Class passengers are entitled to board in Group A, which is the first group after preboarding. 
• Seats. Avianca’s Business Class seats depend on aircraft type and route. The seats on narrow body aircraft are similar to a domestic First Class seat on a U.S. carrier. However, the Business Class seats on Boeing 787s and some Airbus A330s are the lie-flat type. 
• Lounges. Business Class passengers have access to VIP lounges at airports in North America, Spain, Brazil, El Salvador, and Colombia. 
• Meals and drinks: Avianca’s food and drink service will depend on the flight duration and route. Business Class passengers on short domestic flights within Central America may get a free complimentary drink, whereas on longer international flights, they can look forward to a full meal service and drinks.
