At El Dorado they have a separate line for people making connections within Colombia, so they can make their connecting flights on time. You make a right turn right before getting to the regular immigration line.

If I'm correct, I believe that line that you're referring to is for international connections, not domestic. For instance, if you're flying Avianca from NYC or Miami with a connection flight from Bogota into Caracas, Sao Paolo, Lima, etc. I think that there are signs saying as much.
Missed a connecting flight to BAQ last year trying that. Flight was late in arriving. LOL!!!
[QUOTE=Lima Busy]CT,
Unless you are a permanent resident you can not bring in a desktop. I assume you will be in Colombia on a tourist visa. Go to the Colombia govt. website to see other restrictions on tourist or business visa's.
Scooby posted a web address for another website, that I think has a forum that covers this.
Desktops, like a Dell are just assembled parts with a logo stamped on. Once in Colombia find a person who can build one to your specs. I have also known guys who brought all the internals in there luggage and just bought the case,power supply and monitor once they arrived.

I will be on a special visa because I own a business in Columbia now. This might be a good question for my lawyer.
Thanks for the help though!

This is the first time I've heard this. I took a minitower on my last trip without problems (apart from the damage the TSA did anyway)
Hey just felt like venting, $910 r/t MIA to MDE/CLO/CTG or BQA on AA? AVIANCA was MORE!!! Like $950? Dec 23-Jan4. I mean WTF? What really bugs me is that my friends from NY ALWAYS seem to pay less than me and this time is no DIFFERENT, LOL I know its a peak holliday season, but it almost feels like price gouging and they do it just because they can. B.S! ahh the price I/We gotta pay to see our ladies. Whether it be Novia or P4P.. Peace "Chino"

I assume you did not declare it on your immigration form and customs did not search your luggage!

I want to see my Novia for the holidays Cheapest I could find in continental $1090 round trip Chicago to Cali. I just went in the end of august it was only $695 total. If any body know of anything cheaper let us know.
Unbelievable..........
I wouldn't wait too long to book those holiday flights. The prices generally go UP closer to the holiday. It's rare to find cheap flights to Colombia, DR, Jamaica, etc. etc.. as the airlines know that is their prime busy season and the demand is greater than the supply of seats. Therefore, he who delays, pays. People from foreign countries want to go home to spend the holidays with their family. From a US perspective, think of the costs of holiday domestic flights here. More $$$ than normal no matter when you book it.
Best option, be flexible in your dates going and coming. Sometimes seats open up at lower rates, as people may cancel, or the airline releases more seats for sale (codeshare partners). You're gonna have to work to find that low price, meaning daily checking of Expedia, Travelocity, the airline sites directly, etc., and then being ready to jump on it immediately. Set up those low price alerts.
Another option, try to see if you can fly on miles. It's possible, if there are the allocated seats still open.
In Colombia, flights are more expensive also, esp. to the Caribbean coast, as families vacation there during that time. Bogota is a ghost town. Cali has the Feria de Cali during Christmas as well. This is some of what you're competing against.

Who knows though as some people are very lost and feel Christmas and New Years in conducted on December 3rd. :) If I find something to fit your time period over Christmas and New Years I will p.m you the information but I know the airfare is going to be rediculous.
Your correct I was referring to Christmas season rates. Dec 2x - Jan xth to be exact. I also found in October round trip rates as low as $475. Thats half of what im going to pay in Dec/Jan. $1000 But thats the price I have to pay to be with my Girlfriend for the Holidays. I think I will set up those low rate alerts someone mentioned earlier .
Update: I just checked that website Scooby mentioned.
I found those exact dates for $703 Round trip. Thanks Scooby I owe you one.
Once again thanks for everyones input.
I forgot to add the $20.00 service fee ABS Travel charges & there is a small fee to have the tickets mailed to you, I can not remember how much it is. It depends on wether they are overnighted or regular mail, I believe its free if you pick them up at the airport, I was afraid to do that I wanted the tickets in my hand before I left home. Even so they were still the cheapest I could find when I went to Colombia in April/May. Don't forget to tell them to put the tickets on your frequent flyer miles. I had no problems with them and they were very friendly.

Happy Mongering
P.S. If you have room can you smuggle me in, in your suitcase LOL

[QUOTE=Luis The Great]Sorry I tried that with my girlfriend they stopped us at the suitcase inspection at the airport - Hahahahahahaha[/QUOTE]Tell it like it is Luis The Great, you are only strickly heterosexual and not bisexual! I do not know why a guy would want to be smuggled in another man's suitcase as that is very strange but it takes all kinds to make the world go around and to each his own along with there sexual preferences!. :) I am still checking on some flights for you Luis so take care man and hopefully I can come across something that will fit the dates you are seeking which is over the Christmas holidays December 2x through January x. Are you sure you do not want to celebrate your holiday on or around December 3rd? :)
I think someone is on drugs or maybe they just forgot to take their prozac. Anyone who would think that a joke about being smuggled into Colombia in a suitcase is talking about something homo, must himself have questions about his own sexual preference for even thinking like that. That person needs to "GET A LIFE"!!! Being negitive all the time shows the level of immaturity a person is. God what is that person an bonehead or what.
