We fly from Quito to San Joséé with Avianca

The 28 last March, these flights began that reconnect directly in flight from 2 hours to both países that are considered turíaesthetically among theás important in the world, but above all the importance of this route lies in the connection options.ón in Centro Américh and towards North Americaérica, especially New York and The Angels.

Given the importance that this route wants to have within the connection networkón of Avianca, is that I was invited to a press trip to see this beautiful countryíyes and obviously, be able to show them details of the flight. Así how welcome and prepáprepare to take off:

On this occasion I addressí directly to the departure lounge, since you don't haveíto check any suitcase in the hold and haveíto the boarding pass obtained after checking in on the Avianca App, I recommend you do this to get a good seat and to save time at the airport.

As I told youé, not realé check-in at the Avianca counters located in Zone D of international departures of the Quito airport, so my travel documents and health requirements were checked directly at the boarding gate, which are the following:

• Valid passport míYOU 6 months of validity:
  • Visa to enter Costa Rica or,
  • Visa for the United States also validén is váread as document.
• Regarding the sanitary requirements, it is requested:
  • Carné or vaccination certificateón Covid-19.
  • To enter Costa Rica all the requirements were lifted, but keep your certificate handy just in case.

When you arrive in Costa Rica there is noún type of health control más that the respective normal migration process.

It's avión aún does not go through the reconfiguration processón with the new Avianca chairs, so in the meantime we could use, possibly due to one of the úlast times, the original seats that Avianca Business Class offers.

Este Airbus A319 está configured for 120 passengers with 12 seats in Business and 108 in Económica with its traditional leather look, but no individual entertainment screens.

The flight takes off from Quito at 14:35 hours operating the días lunes, miércoles y sábadass, is Díwe take off at 14:48, but landing within the itinerary.

Costa Rica is in a time zone with one hour less than Ecuador, so the landing is estimated for the 15:50 hours, although it is a quiet flight in general, since the route passes through the Pacific Tropical Convergence Zoneífico, más of turbulence it couldíto feel, but don't worry, the pilots and aircraftón isán prepared to minimize this experience and you fly the más quiet possible.
