 Hey Paco, I got an email from avianca with that info a couple days ago. I really don't get what they are trying to do.
I believe it only affects you if you "transit" in El Salvador? Since El Salvador is your final destination, you are not in transit.

Also, you should be getting a full refund from your Airline, at least Avianca has offered that to their customers.

 just hearing same - "TRANSIT"  from inside san salvador 

"Yes by my read only applicable to those in transit, so specifically to stem the flow of migrants to the US. Other countries are struggling to stop the flow, this is a creative solution. But word is out across the world, the US border is OPEN."

so actual TOURISTS / RESIDENTS with such passports will NO NEED to pay seems
