Avianca is a terrible airline, my recent trips with AV came with frequent long delays, mostly due to technical issues, I would be cautious of flying AV as I wonder if it's even safe to fly...
I've had totally different experiences on Avianca. I've flown short haul on them tons of times, medium haul a handful of times, 319 from BOG-IAD was pretty miserable, 787 from BOG-SCL was just fine with the lie flat seats, no delays. My only complaint on that flight was the food was absolutely horrible.
Are any of these available from the West coast? They only really fly from LAX as I recall, but these fares are always EX-JFK, such a bummer. UIO always seems pricey to get to from YVR (or anywhere nearby) except AM once in a while.
