Posts: 132You know your in for a bumpy flight when the cabin crew are told to return to their seats.
I got bounced around in the front cabin of a 747 on a flight out of BKK. Like Schwmmr say's it all depends on the weather.

Posts: 734I have taken a 737 from Bogota to Medellin twice. I believe that the flight goes onto Miami. On one of those trips the plane was hit by a sudden downdraft (anyone not wearing a seatbelt almost bounced off the ceiling). It was so violent that everyone crossed themselves.

Posts: 1694Bert,
99.9% of any deal that is referred by people to people in Colombia commission is involved (thats just my opinion and its a way of life here)
Its a interesting subject, the price or quote for a job/deal, it depends on the deal but my secretary says between 10 - 20% of the agreed price.
She should know, she knows all the important people here in Medellin and also the people you dont really want to know.
If there are some more questions on this subject, I´ll be happy to answer my opinion.

MDE-CTG uses turbo-props also. In 6 or 8 trips, I don't recall any turbulence.
I also flew MDE-BOG RT on an Aires turbo-prop without any problem.

Also, speaking of your post, there is still one thing that is confusing to me. The first thing you say is that commission is a way of life in Colombia, gringo or not, then you turn right around an deny that you receive any commission. Are you saying that while other gringos living here are looking to make commissions off other unsuspecting gringos, you are not? If so then isn't it reasonable to assume that I could be talking about them and not you?
Like I said, whether you do or don't, it's your own business. I was simply pointing out what you said, that gringo or Colombian, there are people trying to make commission by recommending high priced people to line their pockets. I was simply pointing it out before anyone else makes this mistake. I am sure you can understand that being a person who plays it straight up.

Posts: 1694Australian guy in Medellin with resturant
A couple of months ago a Australian guy living in Medellin gave me a call to come around to say hi, he came around and we had a bit of a chat and his is his story.
He's married a Colombian girl with 2 children and the Family Court said no, you carnt take the kids out of the country until after 1 year so we can see that your marriage is a steady one and that every thing is going well, apply in another year and we will see again, even the father of the children said it was fine the children go to Aussie Land.
He is a Pastry Chef by trade, also worked in outback stations (farms) as a manager and also entertainment director at tourist farms etc.
He and his wife started a fast food little resturant over on 80th Ave, being going a month now earing enough to pay the rent etc. He works at the Rest from 10.00am to 6.00pm then the wife comes in from 6.00pm to 10.00-12.00 pm.
His wife works in a job that return about 3,000,000 million a month so its not a bad job for Colombian.
In the Resturant on each table he has a sign that says ¨I carnt read or write spanish¨ but just point to the menu and I´ll cook up what you want !!!!!!!! he has quiet a bit of local support
So entonces, if you think you are having a tuff time here in Colombia being a dreamer, think of this guy who carnt read or write spanish but runs a resturaunt that pays its way.
