Grupo TACA

Pros: Good connections throughout Central America, nice hub in San Salvador, new planes, more...
Cons: Has a reputation for impersonal service, though I had no problems...

Judging from the many TACA reviews here on Epinions, either TACA has sporadic performance, or they're getting better because I flew with them a couple weeks ago and didn't encounter any real problems. They seemed generally efficient and courteous to me, ...

Pros: Clean, safe, on time and pretty cheap.
Cons: I don't really like crack of dawn flights.

Before writing this epinion I read several of the other epinions on Grupo Taca. Either they have really changed for the better overall or the route I took is the best one they fly.

I just got back from a week long vacation in Peru. For most...

Pros: Clean Planes, Efficient, Good Passenger Service, Safe
Cons: None

I flew roundtrip with Group TACA in March 2005 from JFK to Santiago, Chile for my first trip to South America. I’d not heard of the airline before but Internet research assured me they were safe and reliable. My budget certainly approved of their low ...

Pros: Non-stop from Houston to Roatan
Cons: Expensive, Old Aircraft, Not so Friendly Staff

Grupo Taca Airlines is at home in Central America but lacks the competitive edge, based on service to compete heavily in the US market. On certain routes they hold a monopoly and as such can dictate prices to be paid as well as set the schedule and level...

Pros: Won't wait for passengers stuck in line, so more room for those that arrive early!
Cons: Slow lines, will not wait for passengers stuck in line, poor service

I'm a frequent business traveler in Latin America. In many cases, TACA is the most convenient or cheap flight to Peru or another destination. I've had a few good experiences with this airline, but when I have a choice, I avoid it due to the poor ...

Pros: One of the few Airlines to fly to Roatan
Cons: High Airfare to Roatan

I flew Grupo Taca on November 23, 2000 from Miami, changing planes in San Pedro Sula for a flight to my final destination of Roatan. My return flight to Miami was on Wednesday, November 29, 2000. We made an unscheduled stop both ways to the airport in...

Pros: Very friendly, attentive, courteous staff
Cons: No Dr Pepper!

I have to say, I had a very pleasant experience with TACA airlines. To be honest, I wasn't sure at first, because it seemed kinda chintzy. However, the staff was very nice. I misplaced my tickets (actually, I dropped them and then set my bags on them)...

Pros: The flight attendant was nice....
Cons: Will not accept responsibility for any issue.

As another review stated, TACA is one of the few and very proud to offer flights to Roatan; a tiny island off the coast of Honduras. So when we booked our trip, TACA was the natural choice. Well....

When we landed at the International Center...

Pros: Good service
Cons: No meal selection, poor in-flight audio quality

Checking in for the flight was easy. The ticket agent was courteous and friendly. Passengers were boarded about 30 minutes from scheduled flight departure. Business class passengers were offered drinks upon boarding as the rest of the in-flight crew...

Pros: Quality service at a reasonable cost
Cons: Limited number of daily flights

We boarded the flight about 30 minutes before departure. Business class passengers were offered drinks upon boarding. Both the announcements and safety demonstrations were conducted in Spanish and English. The flight attendants quickly completed their...

Pros: friendly in El Salvador
Cons: unreliable, lose luggage, customer service unresponsive

We flew once round trip to Belize from LA last March. The flight out of LA was oversold but the cadre of use car salesmen personalities did not ask for volunteers to leave the next day. Instead they assured us several times that of course we would make...

Pros: Good service from flight attendants (i.e. on-flight only)
Cons: Do not accept responsibility for problems. Will lie to keep your business.

I have never received such poor service from an airline or any other major, service-oriented company.

Two weeks ago I set off for Venezuela with a return ticket on a TACA airline. I arrived early at the Mexico City airport, after a three-hour...

Pros: New planes, flexible schedules, on time, courteous staff
Cons: Not competitive in prices unless forced to

I believe TACA is a good airline to choose when your flight will originate and end in Central America. I choose this airline over American or Continental everytime because they have a various fly out times during the day. You can choose flights in the ...

Pros: Extensive network within Central America.
Cons: none that I can think of.

We had a group of 65 people travel from Washington D.C to Manugua,Nicarugua in August 2003. Our travel logistics team selected TACA to provide service to our destination. When i was told we were using TACA I immediately asked "Who?" as i had never ...

Pros: Business class at Coach class prices. English speaking stewards. On-time take off and landings.
Cons: The major Con is they weigh your carry-on bag! Hard to understand overhead announcements

We flew TACA from San Francisco to Belize (via El Salvador) for our honeymoon late February 2004. I was initally very hesitant, however, after reviewing safety records and the fact they have the newest fleet of all the airlines I agreed to give them a ...
