Quick Thoughts
Avianca won’t win any awards for its in-flight product, but when you can get anywhere for ~2,000 miles, let alone Central America, that’s a pretty good deal. It appears that most, if not all, US routes are on sale, so if you want to visit anywhere that Avianca flies, this sale is worth taking a look at.
If you’re looking at business awards, it bears paying close attention to the seat maps of the plane that you’ll be travelling on, as Avianca business class varies enormously. Some 787s have an international-style, 1-2-1 cabin with lie-flat seats; others have a 2-3-2 configuration with recliners. As far as I know, none of Avianca’s Airbuses have lie-flat seats; they’ll either be 2-2 recliners that are similar to US domestic first class or a European-like business class with three seats on either side and the middle blocked out.

There are a few A330s that fly Avianca routes that are wet leases from Wamos Air, and those do have lie flat seats (though they are showing their age a little).
The only route I know they /were/ operating with this was LAX – SAL – MAD. (I flew the LAX-SAL leg last year).
Hi Tim, Thanks for this update. How do you check seat layouts for these flights? My go to is seatguru, looks like they don’t have Avianca covered.
Try aerolopa. You can not look up the specific flight, but you can take the plane info from elsewhere (like Google flights) and navigate to the correct place.
