Avianca was the first commercial airline in the Americas, opening its doors in December 1919. The fleet now includes the Boeing 757, Boeing 767 and the MD-83. Travelers to and from Colombia can access hundreds of daily Avianca flights. Here's how.
Purchase airfare aboard Avianca's flights in person at their major city travel offices in North, Central and South America and receive personal help with your travel plans. Or call toll-free (800) 284-2622 for flight reservations.
Book flights with Avianca's online reservation system (see Resources below). Choose travel dates, departure points and tickets with the click of a button.
Gather the appropriate travel documents before heading to the Avianca check-in counter. Travelers must carry a passport and a visa for travel between international destinations. Payment vouchers and vaccination papers may also be required.
At most South American international airports a tax is charged. Generally, the tax is included in your airfare; payment vouchers are distributed to travelers to prove they paid the tax.
Business-class travelers have access to shower facilities, comfortable seats and meals before their flight in Avianca's VIP Lounge.
Economy-class travelers receive juice or water, snacks and spacious footroom.
Avoid exorbitant luggage fees by packing lightly for your Avianca flight. Charges for each extra piece of luggage may be assessed at the airport. Packing two or three small bags for your trip could result in significant savings.
Passengers on domestic and short international flights can bring small pets onboard. Travelers should make these arrangements when booking airfare.
