In huge request the truth, at first the change of seats bothered me but recently I tried them and they were quite comfortable and spacious it was similar to the previous ones since I was able to fly in both cabins and the truth is that they seemed very comfortable, the appearance may have had something to do with the poor reception of this type and although I would have liked to have entertainment screens after the pandemic I think they were a good decision and they will look great on the new A320. Good post
The lack of screens must be replaced with Internet on board as indicated.
It is possible that one of these planes will be given to Avianca Ecuador? Or that its operation be regulated in some destination such as Quito and Bogota for example?
Definitely, those planes are going to be distributed throughout the company.
Genial, it would be nice to have them here
