They had a problem with their air conditioning system and we almost had heat strokes because they blasted HEATED AIR for almost 40 minutes and there was literally no air. This is the worst airline in Bolivia. Can't believe we have no other options sometimes.

BOA is truly the worst airline in Bolivia. It's a shame we sometimes need to use it cause we have no more options.

BOA airplanes are so old and dirty, the bathroom was so nasty, it smelled so bad and had tape all over the cabinets. My chair wouldn't recline, we had no entertainment, the flight was super cold. The only positive thing about this flight is that I feel it's so old that they even serve food, like in the past! I travel a lot and nowadays the companies only serve some snacks or sometimes offer something to eat if you pay. Not the case with this flight. Never again flying with BOA. They are definetly the worst.

This airline is always THE WORST. They seem to have flights moving to other times (late) 90% of the time. The airplanes are old, and the landing (i really don't know why) is 90% of the time shaky. I actually never buy tickets from BOA, I prefer other airlines by far.

This is one of the oldest airplanes I've ever been in. No tv, no entertainment at all, seats are SO UNCOMFORTABLE and the whole flight was so cold. It's the worst flight ever. Avoid it.

Do not flight in BOA, pay a little bit more and you can use Copa or Avianca, this company is a nightmare from the boarding process, plane quality, services, etc, etc.

Pros: Overall experience was outstanding. Clean, comfortable aircraft combined with excellent crew constantly and sincerely concerned about the passengers wellbeing. Not the standard rudeness of certain airline service overworked and unfriendly crew.

Overview of BoA
Existing as Bolivia’s national flag carrier, BoA offers a wide range of services that link the country to both North America and Europe. An expansive network of flights is also available throughout South America to destinations in Argentina and Brazil. Seasonal services are also scheduled to Chile, Colombia, Cuba and Ecuador. BoA Regional exists as a subsidiary and focuses on linking more isolated cities throughout Bolivia.
The airline’s primary operating base is located in Cochabamba and is responsible for the majority of domestic services. Long-distance routes, such as those to the United States and Spain, depart from an additional hub in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. A codeshare agreement is in place with Iberia, which promotes the connection of services to further destinations in Europe.
Economy is the only cabin class available on domestic flights and shorter trips throughout South America. Passengers can upgrade to Business Class if they are taking a long-haul flight on a larger aircraft, such as the Boeing 767. The exclusive section has only 10 seats, making for a quieter and more private journey. The reclining chairs are set up in a 2 x 1 x 2 configuration, which guarantees either a window view or direct aisle access. The seats also have extendable footrests and come with large padded cushions.
BoA flies an all-Boeing group of aircraft. A preference is held for narrow-body planes, such as the 737 series, that can roughly carry between 138 and 168 passengers. Yellow, red and green stripes can be seen on the tails of the aircraft in acknowledgment of Bolivia’s national flag.
