A 45 min. connection sounds tight and even risky, but thankfully SAL is a small and compact airport so this worked very well.
The AV Lounge is a huge improvement over the former TA lounge. It's well designed with smart use of space and the catering is decent, although dishes should be replenished more frequently from my experience. I did not see any hard liquor except for beer in the refrigerator. My visit was in the the morning and for a very short time so perhaps liquor is brought later during the day.
FA's were friendly and smiling. I appreciate that I was addressed by name. Catering was solid for a flight of this length.

Seems like you had a nice flight with AV. That omelette sure looks appealing. I think AV's business product on the A320 series is perfectly acceptable for short hauls, however I think they could do something else for mid haul flights where those recliner style seats fall short. I agree that the SAL lounge looks nice (except for those ugly plastic cafeteria style chairs :))
cheers!

"That omelette sure looks appealing."
- Well presented and tasty. Can't ask for more.
"...however I think they could do something else for mid haul flights where those recliner style seats fall short. "
- One can only hope to see more 787's on mid haul flights. It would certainly be nice to have more comfortable seats in J for these routes.
" I agree that the SAL lounge looks nice (except for those ugly plastic cafeteria style chairs :))"
- Perfection is elusive, but at least this was a big improvement. ;)
Thanks for your comments.
This looks like my kind of route. Central America has always intrigued me. Too bad high temperatures don't suit me very well, but after seeing those lush green fields in your aerials I know I will have to "hacer de tripas corazón" one day. ;D
I see an Aeroman hangar in one of your pics. It seems to be a quite important maintenance company, isn't it. Sky Airline aircraft are flown all the way from SCL to SAL to get they liveries painted there!
Best ^^

- If the heat is too much to bear there are "clothing optional" places. ;) You should visit Costa Rica. It's a paradise when it comes to flora and fauna.

- Indeed. I believe some U.S. carriers like B6 uses it too.
Thanks for your visit.
ROFLMAO !!!! Don't you think there is enough evil in this world already?? I would be arrested for "visual terrorism"!!! XDDD
I forgot to say "Congrats on the new family member" in my previous comment. ^^
- For the wicked there is never enough. ;)
"I would be arrested for "visual terrorism"!!! XDDD"
- It depends on who you "terrorized" :P
"I forgot to say "Congrats on the new family member" in my previous comment. ^^"
- Thank you Nelson. My little nephew is a rascal and is another Scorpio just like yours truly. ;)
Looking forward to your next report!
AV was a nice surprise and I was left with a positive impression.
See you soon and thanks.
Wouldn't have been wiser to get un upgrade to Business Class on the previous leg instead of this short hop?
Only 8/10 for the crew? Let me guess, no kiss on the cheek.
Thank you for sharing Adan
"I'm not sure it is safe to leave the milk jugs out there and not in the freeze."
- Good observation my friend. Then again, nothing wrong with having some "leche agria" or sour milk. :P When I was a kid I used to dunk bread with sour milk and eat it with "gusto".
"Wouldn't have been wiser to get un upgrade to Business Class on the previous leg instead of this short hop?"
- Indeed, but the problem was that the minimum bidding for that segment was ridiculously high in my opinion. I think it was upwards of USD250+ if I remember. Not worth it in my opinion.
"Only 8/10 for the crew? Let me guess, no kiss on the cheek."
- Maybe I'm not as charming as other members who seem to have no problem posing with crew and even embracing them. ;)
See you later alligator and thank you as always for your comments.
Congratulations to your new family member :).
Great spotting clicks at SAL.
Nice to see the upgrade to J, the newer Panasonic eX3 IFE screens look nice.
Breathtaking aerial pictures throughout the ride.
Sorry to hear there were no meal options for you, thankfully the meal was not terrible but at least decent.
“Taxiing to the gate.“
- Great catch of the Wingo 737!
Have a good one, see you.
Thanks! Meeting my nephew was the perfect excuse for go on a trip to Costa Rica. ;)
See you on the next FR.
