What is Mixed cabin?

When you fly business class and have connections with us, you may experience some differences in the services we offer, we call this Mixed cabin. This is because we use different types of aircraft to operate your flights, narrow-body aircraft, such as the A320 or A319, and wide-body aircraft, such as the B787. Here we explain what changes you can expect in the service:

Route Seating Onboard menu Entertainment
Flights within the Americas. Premium Onboard sales service avianca On Air
Flights to and from Europe, and on selected international routes within the Americas. Premium, business class (Flatbed) Onboard menu included avianca On Air or screens built into the seats

Keep in mind:

  • The maximum recline of business class seats may vary depending on the type of aircraft.
  • Access to the avianca lounges, itinerary flexibility, the accrual of lifemiles, priority service and greater baggage capacity are maintained on all routes. Find out more about our experience on board.

We give you some examples!
