Avianca's two Business products: lie-flat INSIGNIA on the Boeing 787 and Business Class Americas on the A320 family, the US flights where each one flies, the new suites with doors from 2027, and LifeMiles.
Avianca's 787s carry 20 INSIGNIA Business seats in a 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone layout, each converting to a flat bed with direct aisle access. INSIGNIA is Avianca's premium long-haul brand, used on 787 flights to Europe and, since August 4, 2026, on Bogota-New York JFK, with chef-designed menus and a dedicated check-in at Bogota.
In September 2026 Avianca announced new INSIGNIA suites with sliding doors, 4K screens and Bluetooth audio for its 787 fleet, with installation starting in 2027.
Most Avianca flights to the US use A320-family aircraft. Business Class Americas occupies the first rows, with the middle seat blocked by a table, extra legroom and recline, meals and two 32 kg checked bags. It is not lie-flat; for an overnight flight, aim for a 787 departure where one is available.
From Bogota, Avianca flies to Miami up to four times a day, New York JFK three times a day, Washington Dulles, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth and Tampa. It also serves the US from Medellin and San Salvador, for about 14 US cities in all. Lie-flat 787 service is limited to selected JFK and Miami flights, so we confirm the aircraft on every quote.
Avianca opened its Diamond International VIP Lounge at Bogota in 2026 for LifeMiles Diamond members and eligible premium-cabin passengers on international flights. Star Alliance Gold members without a premium ticket use the Avianca VIP Lounge near gate 32.
LifeMiles, Avianca's program, takes transfers from Amex Membership Rewards, Capital One, Citi ThankYou, Bilt and Marriott Bonvoy. Its Star Alliance award prices rose again in April 2026, so compare against a contracted cash fare before transferring points.

Through a consolidator, Miami-Bogota Business round-trip typically runs $2,400-$3,400 on Avianca or American. New York and other gateways are quoted per date, and lie-flat 787 departures can price differently from A320 flights on the same route.
Only on the Boeing 787, branded INSIGNIA, which flies Bogota-New York JFK and selected Miami flights. Business Class Americas on the A320 family is a wider seat with the middle blocked, not a bed.
From Bogota: Miami, New York JFK, Washington Dulles, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Boston, Chicago O'Hare, Dallas-Fort Worth and Tampa. Avianca also flies to the US from Medellin and San Salvador, for about 14 US cities in total.
