First i arrive to the Avianca counter where there was made some security questions, and verified my ESTA status, finally they tag my luggage and gave me the boarding pass.

Then i proceed to the passport control area and receive an exit stamp, this process was smooth because it wasn't a rush hour at the airport.

The gate assigned for my flight was the 43, i dedicated to pass the time looking the traffic through the window

After 1 hour flying, the crew begun with the meal service, in my case i choose meat with mush potatoes, Taste was better than presentation, trust me.

we begun approach and landing around dusk in Miami. Some raining due to hurricane Matthew, actually the day after the authorities closed the airport for prevention.

At the arrival i went to the APC kyosk to do the passport control, this made me save a lot of time, no passport stamp, instead i receive a receipt and that was all.

Here some pics i took on the weekend, love this city.

    Thanks for sharing this short report with us. The seat looks nice and the IFE too. I trust you for the catering as the presentation is far from perfect ! They should also provide a real desert with the meal and not just cookies.
    I liked the old livery ( like the plane next to yours at departure) better than the new one but the winglets are nice.

    Never knew AV had single digit flight numbers^^

    Surprised this major route for AV isn’t operated by one of their wide-bodies. None the less, you were lucky to get one of their new cabins. The IFE is quite nice. I think AA is sending its new A319s on this route too, so it’s probably a comparable hard product.

    Catering doesn’t look great, I’ve seen better meal trays from AV. As SkyTeamCHC said, the packaged oreos looks pretty lazy.

    Thanks for sharing this FR!

    I agree with you. AV delivers a good product, and that's basically it. I wish they could go the extra mile on details such as catering for them to be really the best airline in Latin America

    Thanks for sharing this FR!
