Experience of BoA ?
Just mulling over who to fly with to VVI from Argentina.
Anyone flown with BoA, how was the general experience?

Well, it looks like this thread got absolutely zero responses (and I myself have never flown with BoA), but I thought I'd add this news tidbit here. The Bolivian government just announced a $17.5 million plan to "modernize" the airline and increase pilots' pay:

El tercer decreto dispone una inyección de US$17,5 millones a BoA para la modernización de sus aeronaves, recursos con los que se incorporarán dos nuevas de menos de cinco años de uso para la atención de las rutas internacionales a Madrid y Miami.
English translation:
The third decree provides a US$17.5 million injection to BoA for the modernization of its aircraft, resources that will be used to incorporate two new planes (with less than five years' use) to serve the international routes to Madrid and Miami.

I flew on BoA from VVI to Sucre last fall, and it was a perfectly fine (and completely full) flight. I bought my ticket online via the BoA web site and was able to check in without any problems at the counter at VVI. In-flight service included snacks and beverages.
I have not flown any of their long-haul routes.

I realize this thread is old, but was in a similar situation a couple years ago. I flew BoA from Miami to La Paz (via VVI) RT. Flight experience was good and staff was friendly. Plane was a bit older, but nothing else seemed different. I will note that it was significantly cheaper to buy 2 positioning flights (to/from MIA) and then a separate BoA ticket from there, than it was buying 1 ticket from other US cities
