Colombia Internal Flights
I am planning a trip to Colombia in February. I am going on a
frequent flyer ticket from New York, and this ticket will get me to either Bogota or Medellin. I want to spend most of my time in Cartagena, so firstly, I have a choice of either Bogota or Medellin to spend a couple of days in. Does anyone have any suggestions on which of these two major cities would be the most satisfying? Secondly, I need to get an internal round-trip flight from either of these cities to Cartagena. I have looked online and I am blown away by the cost. It looks like a round-trip ticket is going to run me about $400 US. This is seriously steep, considering I can get a round trip to many European cities right now for that price. Am I just looking in the wrong places online? Is $400 really right? I don't have time for long bus trips, so flying is my only option. |

There are several carriers for domestic glights in Colombia. Check this, http://www.airlineroutemaps.com/Lati...ca/index.shtml Avianca is of course the largest. If you pick your days of travel, there are discounts to have. |

In order of the size, coverage, and perhaps ticket prices for Colombian domestic air carriers, Avianca, Aero Republica, Satena, Aires. We flew Avianca and Aero Republica. Both are okay and quite no frill. Flight time is short anyway from Bogota to any other places in the country. Avianca's web site is probably best out of the four for buying a ticket. Satena is the civilian operation of the Colombian Air Force. Aero Republica is part of Copa I believe. Come to think of it $400 RT between Bogota and Cartagena does not surprise me at all. We paid close to $200 ($180 some) last year around this time flying from Cartagena to Bogota oneway via Avianca. We flew on the last day of the Colombian New Year vacation period. We did not have a choice. Needed to catch the flight from Bogota back to the US. But like I said, there were bargains to be had (around $130 IIRC) if we could fly a few days later. |

Well, I hope they've replaced the DC-3's by now. -- Bob Broughton http://broughton.ca/ Vancouver, BC, Canada "Given that tobacco is legal, its users are not drug addicts." - Robert Wagner, June 6, 2008 |
