The flights often get stuck on the tarmac in Bogota so despite the 25 minute in air flight time, you often spend well over an hour on the plane.

Avianca has new domestic lounges. Both are pretty nice and much improved. The Diamond lounge which you can access with a J ticket has a much better beverage and food selection...
Ah, bummer -- I already booked my ticket on the UA site before I saw this. Economy price is the same on AV and UA, but the AV site has the "business promo" that is also the same price. Oh well -- maybe I'll consider a buy-up offer if there is one. Does AV do advanced seat assignments in economy for *G?
