I share with you this new flight report, flying from Bogota a Quito with Avianca Ecuador in one of their Airbus A319.

On the occasion of Aviation Day Colombia organized by IATA and thanks to the support of the airline with which I flew in this report, I was able to travel to Bogotá to be part of such an important event, from which you can read widely HERE.

It is not the first time that I fly with Avianca Ecuador to Bogota, so this flight report will be different and the details of how the purchase processes are, check-in and more from Avianca can be reviewed HERE.

  1. It's good that there was no applause. It is understandable that many compatriots get excited when they arrive in Ecuador after many years, but applauding does not seem so normal either., I have had to see many foreigners making fun of those somewhat childish attitudes in the landings.
