General Info

I know this is Colombia thread but has anyone been to BA lately and how does it compare? I am not able to find any good info about Argentina elsewhere. I know it has more European looking women from memory, and that they are having currency problems at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

On the currency tip: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/03/11/...ange-rate.html (and since when has Argentina not been having currency problems LOL).

I have actually decided to book a night at some nearby hotel to take a nap for a few hours. My flight arrives at Bogota at midnight and my next flight to Brazil is 9 hours later. I don't suppose there is much to do in Bogota during those hours.

Not much to do? I would drop my bag and head straight to Santa Fe. Maybe you could get Woodman to give you a tour at that hour. If not the place is not hard to navigate if you are not afraid of your own shadow.

Use the address of any random hotel near the airport, or really any valid address. They don't give a shit.

Looks like Google Translate has a similar option except that it requires only a single device.

Heads up about the language barrier. If you would like to have a conversation with a girl I recommend taking a look at Microsoft Translator app. It can translate in-person conversations into multiple languages, and play voice message. You can speak English and the girl's phone will play a voice message to her in Spanish and vice versa. With a pair of headsets you can avoid typing text to translator and enjoy in a way better conversation.

You should get an email instantly, if not check the spam folder. But I always print the confirmation page or take a screenshot of it. The airline just have to see that you did it so you can show them the screenshot or email. They are looking for your name, passport number, flight number and date, and makes sure it matches you plane ticket and Passport.

But, I have to repeat, different airline different procedures. My experience is with JetBlue when it comes to this. I have zero clue how other airlines operate when it comes to the checkmig.

In 2022 and 2023 I have flown American, JetBlue, delta, and avianca. All were 100 percent fine with the instant download when you fill out the form. American required to see it to fly. Maybe delta too, but I forget. Avianca didn't even ask. All on the phone.

Thanks. So you submit the form and you get an email instantly and you show your airline that email or you need to wait till the Colombian authorities have fully processed your application? I read somewhere that airlines require the QR code which is not included in the initial email. Also, do I need it printed out or I can just show the email on the phone?

I don't think you will find more than a handful of guys who've spent at least a week in all those cities, especially Armenia. I have not been to Armenia or Cali but I think Barranquilla has the best looking women. Shakira is from there. But my favorite place to see women is Bogota (I've given up on trying to use accent marks with the auto correcting software). Just out of curiosity, what is your level of Spanish? The less you have, the more you want Medellin (again giving up on accent marks). Also, didn't you post you were going to Medellin and that "your plans wouldn't change"? Or did I dream that?

Hablo espanol poco but can hold down a small convo if spoken slowly. I will be in Laueleles April 11th. Thanks for the tip on Medellin. My next trip will be to Bogota with increased Spanish.

The form can only be submitted 72 hours before the flight. So if the flight is on Friday the earliest would be Wednesday.

For those who has at least a week under there belt staying in Medellin, Bogota, Armenia, Cali, Cartengna, and Barrenquilla, which do you prefer to see females in and why?

Thanks. Can I submit all 4 of them together?

If worse comes to worse its just filling gout the form 4 times, takes less than 5 minutes each time LOL.

Enjoy your trip.

You mean to say I will have to submit the form to get back in the airport as well?

Ideally the form is for your final destination since that is where you will have to go through immigration. But since you plan to leave the airport during a layover is a bit different.

I would suggest you fill it out to enter the Colombia, then fill it out to leave when going back to your home country. I'm not sure how it works if you have to fill it out to leave Colombia to go to Brazil and fill it out again upon return. It does count as an international flight so I would guess you have to fill that form out 4 times.

With JetBlue they usually Email me all the requirements a few days before the flight and things to fill out like the CheckMIG and upload the COVID card to the Attestation site. Again, different airlines different procedures. I would doublecheck with your airline so you don't get blindsided. If worse comes to worse its just filling gout the form 4 times, takes less than 5 minutes each time LOL.

Enjoy your trip.
