If you are near a city serviced by Copa, you might try them. I think all their flights have a connection in Panama, but I haven't had any problems there. I have flown more than 30 trips on Copa to Medellin during the past six and a half years. I don't think Copa makes any connections in the US, so that possible headache is avoided.

I like Copa and they are a member of the Mileage plus program which is always a good plus. Prices from the mid-atlantic area are crazy high sometimes. I used to be a card carrying member on Continental RIP but for the last decade or so I look for the best deal without any loyalty to any airline. Flew a lot on Jetblue they had good fares and did a great job but now under the new regulations they have become another Spirit. Pay for everything, carry on, check bag international, pay for a seat etc. Air travel was once fun and reasonable, no more.

I'm going back to Bogota next month and I will choose driving a long to the airport and paying double for a direct flight to Colombia to avoid all the shit. Good Luck.

Is a layover 1 H 40 m in Fort Lauderdale enough for passport control and for taking the connection?

Medellin to FLL to Denver with Spirit.

My other option has layover for 6 h 41 m, not nice, but no risk to miss the connection.

Thank you.

Your flying spirit and flying from Fort Lauderdale, good luck, but once you get their it's all worth it! Travel safe have fun! If not book yet do jet blue from fll, worth its weight in gold!

I definitely don't want to spend 6 hours in FLL. If the flight leaving MDE is on time, you should be okay with 1 hour 40 min. The problem you can run into is going back through check-in after going through immigration and customs. Sometimes that line extends out onto the sidewalk for a ways. It has been many years since I went through FLL. The times I went through there, getting your bags, then re-checking them was very slow.

Been through FLL many times but not for the last year or so. Lots of construction going on but it has been one of my least favorite connections. The passport control area is archaic if it hasn't been updated yet, with lots of foreigners passing through. A bit of a walk, with your checked baggage in tow to get to connecting flights. As was mentioned, you need to go up the escalator and pass through TSA again to get to your gate. My girl returned to Colombia twice in the last 3 months nd both trips were a night mare. What should have been a 7 hour trip back to El Dorado from the east coast took almost 48 hours both times, with a closure of DFW for a 1 hour storm, refueling in bum fuck west Texas airport, only to miss her connecting flight back to Bogota, had to sleep overnight in DFW and then a new connection to Mia and finally an evening flight to Bogota, arrive at 1 AM the third day. And this was just on the last trip 3 weeks ago, the one before that was another similar disaster. There is so much disarray in air travel nowadays you can't count on anything. Also the time of day is important, if it's not a first flight for the day it gets very dicy. Afternoon thunder storms are frequent in S Florida so more possibilities to get fucked over. Under the current situation in air travel I would opt for the safer long layover. You want to talk about long. , try the line at the help desk trying to get rebooked on a missed or cancelled flight.

In Medellin chicks whoar off facebook. Foreigners search for and add the hookers to their friends list before they arrive, then when they get there they call the girl to come over for a session and / or to hangout for no less than 150,000 pesos. In Bogota the facebook hooker deal is not a thing.

100% agree with Mr. E. I've tried, but have never found the FB dynamic to work anywhere else to level it does in MDE. Not Bogota, Cali, Barranquilla, Panama City, the DR, or CR. It's ridiculously easy.

If you have Global Entry then it is no problem. It takes me less than 5 minutes to clear Customs in FLL.

After RTFF I can't see any major differences with going to Bogota or Medellin to pick up girls. Yet the Medellin forum here is much more active. Why?

Cartagena seem to have the drawback of higher (tourist) prices but maybe the benefit of a fun tourist-destination. Right?

Chicas are basically the same in Bogota / Medellin / Cartagena right? Any differences when it comes to safety?

The MDE forum is more active because it's an easier city to access. It has a very pleasant climate (average high about 80 vs Bogota 65). It's not as high altitude as Bogota so most visitors don't need time to adjust as many do with Bogota. It's also not nearly as big as Bogota so it's easier to figure things out.

IMO there's little difference in chica looks between the two cities. But I have limited experience in Bogota so maybe I'm judging from a small sample size. There's certainly more chicas in Bogota as it's a much bigger city.

I also think the Mansion had a lot to do with MDE taking off as a monger destination. It's an easy comfortable place for a new monger to stay, so a lot of guys starting coming here and things just took off.

Cartagena is definitely a worthwhile place to visit as it has some excellent tourist things to do. The chica action is generally a bit more expensive on average than Bogota or Medellin. But still pretty reasonable.

Vibe is more relaxed and fun in Medellin + chicas have Facebook?

Thanks for the reply.

Bogota has higher altitude and is cooler, check. Vibe is more relaxed and fun in Medellin + chicas have Facebook?

Weather and Vibe in the city would be strong arguments for to go to Medellin instead.

Prices are different too, Bogota tends to be cheaper with Cartagena on the higher end and Medellin in the middle.

That's like saying that the women in Los Angeles are the same as the ones in New York City. You probably haven't researched Colombia enough to know any differences within the culture and the women. In your mind it's all the same when it actually isn't.
