The journey begins in Business Class with Avianca from Barcelona (or Madrid) to Bogotá, operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. On board, you’ll find reverse herringbone seats in a 1-2-1 configuration. I found the seats to be quite comfortable when I flew them in early 2020 (before Covid), though the service and catering were less impressive (review in German).
The connecting flights within Latin America are also sold as Business Class, though this usually means standard economy seats with extra legroom and a blocked middle seat. In some cases, the middle seat is slightly modified to provide a bit more space.
Stopovers in Bogotá are permitted, by the way. Here’s an example to Guayaquil with a 2-day stopover for €943.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Editor’s Note: Finding One-ways that cost less than 50% of a roundtrip is very rare on intercontinental routes, even more so in business class. This deal is a welcome exception.
