Policy as of 2023 · Avianca’s own policy page

Before you pack

3 points

  1. Notify Avianca at least 48 hours before the flight - sports equipment is not guaranteed acceptance as a walk-up item.
  2. You must sign Avianca's limited-liability waiver for non-conventional/sports baggage before it is checked.
  3. On European routes the limit tightens to 33kg or 230cm total dimensions rather than the general 32kg/366cm allowance - check which rule applies to your specific leg.
