Pros: This flight is so shaker that there is nothing to say about it between take off and landing.
Cons: Boarding process could have been better if you had someone move people to the side from other groups that were not called. Just saying in the load speaker doesn’t do the job.

Pros: The reason I rated this excellent is that the first lady at the baggage check-in desk did her best to put me and my fiance by assigning us together on the seat number 12 even though I lost my premium seat 7D- but I can forget that pain.
Cons: Food needs dire improvement. I used to love Avianca because of the food and drink but now the food and drinks are very nominal compared to Avianca's own track record as I flew quite a few time with Avianca.

Overview of Avianca El Salvador
Avianca El Salvador is a dependable airline operating in Latin America, with a primary hub in San Salvador. The carrier runs services to more than 10 countries throughout South America, the Caribbean and North America with a focus on Honduras, Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador. Connections to the United States have also been developed, with routes available to both the west and east coast.
Belonging to Avianca Holdings, the carrier is associated with a number of branded subsidiaries across Latin America countries, such as Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru and Nicaragua. The grouped partnership of airlines allows each to increase operation flexibility and share facilities within the region. Benefits are passed down to customers and include connected services and smooth transfers.
Joining the Star Alliance in 2012, Avianca El Salvador made a decisive move to offer a more global product. The alignment with members that include United Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Air Canada and Air China provides a wider reaching network and allows passengers to purchase round-the-world tickets. The association also means that Business Class customers are able to access Star Alliance lounges in more locations. A separate codeshare agreement is maintained with major Spanish carrier Iberia.
Exclusively Airbus aircraft make up the fleet. There is a preference for medium-distance jets with slim bodies, as Avianca El Salvador focuses on trips that are less than 5h. Models within the A320 family are regularly flown, carrying roughly 150 passengers. Both Economy and Business Class are available, with the upgraded section containing only 12 seats and offering more privacy. Noise-cancelling headphones are also supplied.
