Book Airfare on Avianca

Gather the appropriate travel documents before heading to the Avianca check-in counter. Travelers must carry a passport and a visa for travel between international destinations. Payment vouchers and vaccination papers may also be required.

At most South American international airports a tax is charged. Generally, the tax is included in your airfare; payment vouchers are distributed to travelers to prove they paid the tax.
