Overall, another regular AV flight. The views while taking off from Santa Marta and arriving to Bogotá were great. The plane was very comfortable for a domestic flight, but the old style IFE wouldn't please me on a flight longer than 2hours.
SMR is a dump, but then again that's true of most airports in Colombia...
BOG's Puente Aéreo Terminal is practical, nothing fancy.
Thanks for reading,
Saludos!

Average flight
I'm sorry for your illness and wish you a speedy recovery
thanks for the good wishes!
Great scenic flight !
But the rest looks like an average flight.
Avianca is one of the best airline in South America, isn't it ?
Avianca is said to be one of the best airlines in Latin America. I can agree that service-wise is better than Copa, but Copa has an awesome and super efficient network, something that Avianca is still coping with. LAN is also on par with Avianca, and has made serious advances to its service.
Can't tell you about other big players: Aerolineas Argentinas, TAM and GOL. I will fly AeroMexico next month, so I can tell you about them.
Saludos!
just waited for boarding to be called.
- Were those metal seats in the waiting area? Talk about uncomfortable.
The cabin looks to be in pretty poor shape, but at least the seat pitch looked very comfortable for you. Was there a drink/snack service during this flight? I forget which carriers offer those small sandwiches.
Beautiful aerial shots :)
I had to look up what chikungunya was, sounds very painful, hopefully your case doesn't last too long. Get well soon!
Yeap those seats are horrible, but fortunately one doesn't have to wait too long on them.
The cabin was really battered, very different from the newer planes. I has a very negative impact on AVs image IMO. I'm not very tall (170cm) so pitch is seldom a problem for me, these planes felt so spacious for me! Service consisted of juice boxes, water or coffee, along with some oat cookies. (see my BOG-AXM on an ATR report for pictures)
The views were awesome, but I was so sleepy that I couldn't take better pictures.
Chikungunya is an awful thing, it hurts a lot but fortunately I'm now immune to it. The disease spread swiftly through the caribbean and then Venezuela, then we got hit and it has impacted Colombia a lot (circa 500,000+ cases) but then again its not a mortal disease (in most cases), it just hurts a lot.
No, but seriously, sorry to hear you got sick and glad you are better now! I'd never heard of Chikungunya before--even the name sounds gross. I wouldn't be surprised if you caught it at the Santa Marta airport...it does look like a dump.
The nice views always keep even the most boring Colombian domestic flights interesting.
Beautiful aerial views.
Glad to know you are feeling better. So you must have felt like they gave you a thousand palazos bien dados. Sorry to hear that.
I did some AV spotting when I was in MEX. Stay tuned.
