Bogota Reports

[QUOTE=CaptainSolo;2896716]Mexico City has the new int airport NLU (AIFA, Aeropuerto Internacional Filipe de Angeles) with 15 K feet runway, combined with the old MEX, both about 20 min taxi ride to Centro. They can handle lots of air traffic and are hubs with lots of cheap flights to South and Central America.

Cancun is one of Mexico's busiest airport, has lots of non-stop flights to various cities in Latin countries, Bogota, Medellin, Panama, Costa Rica ect. I have not checked but Cancun is a very popular vacation spot, so there should be nonstop flights to Rio and Buenos Aires.

Use MEX and CUN as gateways, you can book nonstop flights to Bogota or Medellin, Colombia for $617 RT. In MEX and CUN you can have short waits for connecting flights, or if fancy strikes, you can spend a few-day layover in each. Both are nice places to visit cheap:

Multi-city trip Economy $617.

Mon, Mar 25 VivaAerobus 3 HR 25 min TIJNLU Nonstop.

Mon, Mar 25 VivaAerobus 2 HR 15 min NLUCUN Nonstop.

Thu, Apr 4 Avianca 3 HR 25 min CUNBOG Nonstop.

Fri, Apr 12 VivaAerobus 5 HR BOGMEX Nonstop.

Fri, Apr 12 Volaris 3 HR 35 min MEXTIJ Nonstop.[/QUOTE]CS, that is not that cheap. With advanced planning in not super busy times, you should be able to get a round trip flight to Colombia for around $200 from Florida, for $300 from the rest of the East Coast and Central USA like Texas, and for $400 from the West Coast. You want a search engine that includes Spirit. I think they have more flights to Colombia than anyone else.

Flight time from Texas to Colombia is pretty much the same as flight time from Mexico City which is around 5 hours. In contrast, Florida is a 2 or 3 hour flight from Colombia and you do not need to deal with Mexican customs.

Most people who fly to Colombia go through Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Thing is Spirit typically has dirt cheap seats available from Orlando and of those three cities Orlando is my preferred transfer city. So if being cheap is your bag, you can pick another low cost carrier like Frontier to get you to Orlando and then take Spirit in to Colombia.

I use [URL]skycanner.com[/URL] to look at fares. I did find going through Mexico was often cheaper when going to Peru, but I have never seen it be cheaper when going to Colombia.

Going to be flying in next week to BOG. Any tips for getting through immigration quickly other than jogging as soon as I deplane?

I read that biomig is available for foreigners. But it doesn't specify if its for arrivals or departures.

I'm trying to decipher escort ads. "Salida" would be outcall, but.

"Las chicas trabajan únicamente a domicilio no trabajan en lugar".

Whose domicilio? Their apartment or my room?

Which lugar? Theirs or yours?

Biomig is available for departure only as far as I know. Arrivals is same old deal.

I am planning to remotely work in Bogota, during the day, and have a fun at night.

What is a quality of internet connection in hotels and generally in Bogota?

Is it enough for remote working?

AT&T has an unlimited Latin America $70 a month plan. Bogota is better than Cartagena with internet but the companies running the internet are pretty much the same in both cities.

But just so you know, I have always been able to get my work on the internet done in Colombia as long as I stay in the big cities. If you go 50 to 100 miles outside of Bogota though, you will have issues.

Select the option of "full / complete unit" instead of a room so you have your own router in the unit. Or an ethernet port to use your own. Hotel rooms don't come w routers and connection may be bad since it's a shared wifi.

For airbnb booking, ask first for the speed. Many have 100 mb or higher which is minimum I must have but many have low speed like 20 mb, so ask first.

I tend to use my own hotspot I have or tether off of my backup phone since they both are on my Google Fi plan. I'll post my experience once that occurs.

Some hotels may have great wifi, others not. You could book a workspace at a workshare facility to be sure if reliable speed and service is critical.
