Our Miami to Bogota flight landed at around 2PM, and then our connecting flight from Bogota to Cartagena was at around 4:30PM. We cleared immigration, and then headed to the domestic terminal, where we cleared security. The security officers were among the friendliest I've had in any country. They actually seemed to be enjoying their…

Share your questions, experiences, and thoughts below.
Unfortunately Avianca's international lounge in Bogota is not much better. Same crappy food and drinks just a bigger space. On the other hand LAN's lounge in Bogota is much better.
I was just there a few weeks ago on my way to Medellin. Great minds think alike, as I was thinking it was the worst lounge I've ever visited. Cheap plastic chairs. Uncomfortable.
The saving grace was they did bring out some decent food around dinner time.
I guess it was all gone when you were there.
The lounge was also hotter than the terminal, and there were mosquitoes.
As per Avianca's website ( http://www.avianca.com/en/Documents/own-vip-lounges.pdf) Diamond lounges are exclusively accesible for passengers with Diamond LifeMiles Status or passengers travelling on Business Class (Executive Class) of Avianca, maybe on your way to Madrid you can try it 😉
Their lounge at SJU was the worst lounge i've ever seen (and i've been to the Gol lounge at GRU). Usually a bad lounge is better than no lounge at all, but i chose to hang in the airport bar with their $11 medallas than hang at the Avianca lounge.
AV domestic lounge at BOG is awful. It doesn't even have a restroom. Int'l lounge is marginally better. At least it has lavs and showers and some nice lounge chairs. The domestic lounge at CTG (hidden upstairs) is actually pretty nice.
I agree 100% with your analysis. While the lounge beverages are light years ahead of any UA,DL or AA lounge, the food was second rate and the seating comfort is horrific. It is also a bit of a PITA to use as it can be a hike from international departures. That being said, it is better than the PP lounge at CCS (Caracas)...
I've just flown domestic with Avianca out of Bogota and this wasn't the lounge I was in. Mine actually looked worse, but it did have bathrooms.
I'm in the domestic diamond lounge on a domestic business class ticket right now. It seems comparable to the gold. Doesn't have restrooms. Food / drink options look about the same. No beer tap, though, only beer in cans, available only after 4pm.
Avianca opened 20 days ago the new Domestic Sala VIP GOLD and BIZ lounge. It is huge and offers a great variety of seating options. I love their new Lounge cubicles. Thought through design. Food and beverages have improved massively. Spirits wine and beer for free. Nice shower.
