Haha that’s typical with Avianca. During my last flight a passenger just behind me was chatting with a FA pretty much the whole time during boarding. FA goes at the front for 5 minutes and returns with a glass of wine and some nuts! Passenger quite happy drinking the wine and keep chatting with FA. After take off and while the service in economy hasn’t started the same FA comes with a tray from C with a proper C meal including a starter, main and some more wine! I politely asked the same FA a few minutes after he finished the chit chat why a passenger was served a C meal and drinks from C. FA looks at me with a very guilty face and says he will be back later. About 10 minutes and the Cabin manager comes and explains to me that it’s the passenger’s birthday..... I explained to her that my last 2 trips were in C and both times they run out of meal choices. I also had a bit of DYKWIA moment telling her I am a star alliance gold and I never got any kind of special treatment while I keep seeing non status passengers getting constantly upgraded and having special treatment because they know the crew. She came back 5 minutes ago with a starter from C. Next trip to Colombia is with TK with a long layover in IST. Avianca is the only star alliance that I will probably never fly again.
