How To Find Cheap Flights To Colombia
Once you find a cheap flight to Colombia, you’re half-way there. Most domestic flights within Colombia are fairly inexpensive.
Depending on where you are traveling from, you’ll find that most major cities have direct flights to Colombia. They usually arrive in the capital city of Bogota. When coming from these cities, you’ll have a direct flight into Bogota:
Miami Madrid Los Angeles New York London
Flying from Miami to Medellin or Bogota
If you are coming to Colombia from the city of Miami, you might as well come straight to Medellin rather than going through Bogota. The total flight is only 3 hours and 15 minutes.
The exact cost of a plane ticket will vary depending on what time of the year you are traveling, but if you are lucky you can get a round-trip ticket to Medellin for only 8 US.
Though it’s a great deal, you still may prefer to fly into Bogota when coming from Miami. It’s only a tiny bit longer, running around 3 and a half hours. Prices will start around 5 US for a round-trip ticket, again it will depend on what season you are flying.
The least expensive airlines are usually:
American Airlines Avianca (this is the main national airline for Colombia) Copa Airlines (Panama’s national airline)
More Tips for Finding Cheap Flights to Colombia
Book early, or very late (days or hours before departure). Ticket prices slowly climb once the date of departure gets nearer, but go down quickly a few days before departure since an empty seat is worthless once the plane is airborne. In any case, start your research and compare, compare and compare. Besides websites, don’t forget to call a local travel agency – it’s a myth that online tickets are always cheaper than tickets bought the old fashioned way. Everyone wants to fly during the daytime on weekends, so if you pick weekdays and inconvenient times (very early of very late) the prices will go down. Do include a weekend in your itinerary – if you depart and return without including a weekend, airlines assume you’re a business traveler and prices shoot up then. If you have the time to spare, consider booking flights with a stop-over – they’re usually cheaper. Of course, flying during the off-season is cheapest. The high seasons are the summer months and around Christmas.
All in all, there are several options to choose from so finding cheap flights to Colombia should be possible if you follow these tips.
