Medellin Reports

You guys can go on Orbitz, buy a ticket and cancel it with no issues or charges within 24 hours. So, just before heading to the airport: buy your return ticket--print. Out the information and receipt they email you. Then cancel the ticket--and just show the airport people the ticket you purchased--and don't mention the cancellation. Or just wait until you get to where you are staying then cancel it (within 24 hours from purchase).

Its not difficult to figure out.

But you can do the same directly with the airline, is no need to use a go between if you are in the US. The 24 hours refund rule is federal law.

Thats exactly it. The travel date will be after the 48 hour period it is live, in which case it will be cancelled. I will just reiterate Nounce's example and break it down a bit more, you fly into Colombia like me on a one way ticket, I don't know if I am going to have trouble at check in or not regardless of what the official information is which does not always carry through to the airlines. Therefore I rent a ticket for departure from Colombia a month after I land, it could be whenever you choose, even 2 weeks or 10 days after the date you land.

You buy or rent the ticket for $12 the day before you fly. In a few hours you get emailed a live ticket valid for departure from Colombia lets say 1 month after you land. You can show the check in your email confirmation and if they were to check with the airline website which is unlikely, it would show a valid booking. 48 hours after you purchase or rent the ticket, it gets cancelled automatically, by that time you're already balls deep in some centro poon. Everybody's a winner.

This clears it up for me, what a deal when you think about it. So within forty eight hours of your departure flight you must do the deal with them. Makes sense now, and think how little it costs for this company to do this and the flexibility it provides someone.

Centro girls don't work their way up to La Isla. Maybe it has happened on rare occasions but it doesn't work that way.

You can assert this all you like but you are simply incorrect. You'll keep asserting it I know, so we can leave it to the readers to decide what is true. Virtually all these girls are from the poorer barrios. Many start in Centro and work their way up to El Poblado and areas nearby, or Cartagena once they get the money for better clothes, accessories and / or surgery. I've seen it time and again. It's true that the better looking ones of the crop tend to move up, but they are still the same barrio girls you find starting out in Centro. I personally prefer finding them when they first start out, are more natural and fewer miles.

[Paulie97]

Reason is simple, when they're hot they're in high demand in the streets and can get even more money charging 30-60 k and upcharging for extra stuff like BBBJ, anal etc. This is coming from them and I was shocked when one claimed this, that she can make more money in street as she turned down a 200 k offer I made her to come to my hotel.

While we are providing personal experiences I'll say that I've had plenty of Centro casa girls where their share is about 25 K, come to my hotel for 100 K + taxi. And these are the better looking casa girls as that's all I choose. In fact I can't think of a single one that turned it down. Therefore readers can take your reported experiences, mine, and others and decide how they want to proceed. Wink.

On almost any airline's website, you can make a reservation without paying for the ticket.

"Almost any" excludes Jetblue and Spirit. This also begs the question of whether a simple reservation would qualify if proof of a return ticket is requested.

[Fun Luvr]

So I'm a bit confused how these tickets work. They are actual tickets but good for only 48 hours?

So if you buy one what departure date to use.

So as an example if you know your going to stay at least 10 days in Colombia or more, what return date do you buy the ticket for.

Or does the ticket have to be within 48 hours for return upon arrival which might be odd if immigration wanted to see the return ticket, although it's typically the airlines that do before allowing you to board.

Maybe these are stupid questions but I would like to understand this better.

On almost any airline's website, you can make a reservation without paying for the ticket. The length of time you have until you pay for the ticket varies by the airline. On Copa, it is one day. If you don't pay within that time, the ticket is automatically cancelled. Some enterprising person is using that grace period to make some money, while also providing a service to travelers. The date can be any date you want just as long as some airline is making reservations for that date.

Agree to disagree and your info is truly what's misleading. One thing I want to make clear and I speak for myself perhaps the other Centro guys. Just cause we go to Centro, it does not mean we don't also go to Poblado and spend 200-800 k when we feel like it. Not going to measure bank balance or dick size while at it, but I could. Also anyone who's so quick to mention they got money blah blah on an anonymous board on the internet that no one cares about is actually the one whos' broke and trying wayyy to hard. Anyone coming from the USA can have money. So it's not about that at all.

In fact I could even get into facts and stories how Wealthy people spend less in many ways. Yes there are some flashy dudes, but real wealthy men who built their castle from the bottom with their own sweat always make every dollar count. I used to be a banker, the clients that called to dispute $1-$5 late fees and finance charges were Always the ones with $100 k+ to several Millions of $ in their accounts, whereas the ones with bad credits with barely few hundreds dollars who are always paying overdraft fees and finances charges never or rarely call to dispute fees. If anything they were grateful to have an account in the first place. Hence the well known facts that bank / businesses make money usually only the medium class and especially on the poor. Consider this Free education, and try disciplining yourselves, as you're giving yourselves away as fakes and want to be cause you don't really have money if going to Poblado only is your argument..

Wise words wise one.

BTW congrats my reply to 3 million pesos was blocked.

[Blue Touch]

I met with really cute chick for 200 k for about 2-3 hours and had a great time.

That's about the amount an average blue collar worker makes in a week. The value corresponds to USD4-600 for us.

[BootyBandit84]

Well Gentlemen women aren't products. This is a personal hobby / business they do using their body, and yes I know it's the obvious but sometimes you all forget with so many crazy things I read on here and other places about hookers and pricing debates. So she can choose to charge 300 k one spot and 30 k another spot, and FREE even for some. Now I know many of you just flip out and losing your minds when guys mention free here. So I won't tell you about my free stories LOL.

It's a different dynamic in the street and I can see why also they could make more money. Plus she doesn't have to spend a hundred in a pretty dress, hair or too much make up. Economically it's smart. So when you think like that on their point of view, you'll see why those dimes exist in the street. Besides, Colombia is a country if 50+Million citizens, and only a few hundred women visit Poblado or Parque Lleras and those clubs you fake ballers call fancy. Meaning the majority of beautiful women or the real cream of the crop of the country remain unseen, with the locals or the Elites, Celebs, or work in private. Just don't be too closed minded.

While I can't say anything about el centro as its really not my scene. I will say that I agree that the same chick can pick and choose how much she goes for. This was made painfully obvious on my last trip. My buddy and I stuck mostly to FB girls since we landed just as a 6 day lock down started. I met with really cute chick for 200 k for about 2-3 hours and had a great time. I recommended him to contact her and he did. Well when he did she quoted him 350 k for one hour! And would not budge on it at all! So yeah, chicks can quote different prices to different people on a whim.

Say you will arrive in MDE on 6/1 on a one way ticket. The airline wants you to have a return ticket leaving MDE. You go online to buy a ticket from MDE to another country for $12 to show the airline in order to board the flight. The $12 ticket will no longer be in the system after 48 hours (6/3). You will buy a real ticket when you decide to leave MDE.

Thats exactly it. The travel date will be after the 48 hour period it is live, in which case it will be cancelled. I will just reiterate Nounce's example and break it down a bit more, you fly into Colombia like me on a one way ticket, I don't know if I am going to have trouble at check in or not regardless of what the official information is which does not always carry through to the airlines.

In Nov / Dec I made it known that lots of centros were parading in Parque Lleras for double income. In ddition centro strippers who work day time or have day off also is seen out in Parque Lleras. So even the illerates and unsophisticated have enough sense to explore added incomes in Lleras.

He is saying don't generalize it like what you are doing.

Its common sense and factual.

Your 8 does not work at El Centro, right? Common sense tells me that the girl who can make it in Parque Lleras don't have to work in El Centro. You can get some girls that work at both places but not all girls work at both places. You talking about the former (some) and Yang is saying that is not the same as the later (all).

Bestonwardticket IS a real ticket. It is a real travel agency and they create a REAL ticket. The difference is that it is their responsibility to cancel it and get the refund, rather than yours.

I used to just create my own "tickets" using dreamweaver and photoshop, but the cost of Bestonwardticket is USD 12, so I figured I may as well save my time, PLUS it is a genuine ticket, rather than my effort was just a screen print of a fake ticket. .

I just switched from Verizon, they suck, to T-mobile and get my new phone today, just in time for my trip to Bogot this Thursday. Do I need to do anything special to get the international pass? Do I need to do it before I leave the states? When I turned on my Verizon phone when I landed in Colombia everything switched automatically.

You want to make sure your phone is already set to roam automatically. Also you need a plan that includes it. I have the Amplified plan which includes free international internet among other things for $70. You do not need to buy any passes.
