A good sale to Quito or Guayaquil in business class.

The flights between New York and Bogota will be on an almost lie-flat seat (170 degree recline) while the seats between Bogota and Quito will be similar to domestic first class (e.g., a wider coach seat with a bit more legroom). Be sure to select the routing via Bogota for the best best. Other routings will result in basically a domestic first class seat for the entire flight.

However, even on the Bogota route, there is variance between the two nonstop flights. You want to be on:

• New York – Bogota.
  • Avianca flight #21
  • 7:30AM – 12:07PM
• Bogota – New York
  • Avianca flgiht #20
  • 10:49PM – 5:25AM

The other New York to Bogota flight is operated by WAMOS for Avianca and the product is not as good.

(We are testing Premium Economy / Business Class / First Class deals the next few weeks to sort out some workflow and algorithms issues, we will see how it goes and whether to make this a regular feature – for Business Class / First Class deals.)
