Avianca: My New Favorite Airline

At a time when other companies are cutting out frills to lower costs, my flight with Aviance really stands out. The one way ticket to Buenos Aires was far cheaper than other airlines, yet the service we received on the two flights (I had a layover in Columbia) was the best I've gotten in a while: pack with headphones, blanket and a pillow waiting on the seat, a personal TV with retractable remote - complete with free movies, tv shows, games, and music videos, in-flight meals and snacks regardless of the time, and free beverages, including wine and beer. One thing that really surprised me was the lack of English spoken. Both flights were full with a majority of South Americans and the attendants and personel at the airport spoke minimal English. So know that you might be a little out of your comfort zone if you fly with them knowing no Spanish.
