Getting from BOG

Official yellow taxis at the curb use a pre-paid voucher system from the booth inside arrivals. Buy a ticket before exiting (COP 25,000–45,000 to most city neighborhoods, roughly $6–11). This eliminates fare negotiation and overcharging risk.Uber operates in a legal grey area in Colombia; InDriver is a common alternative. TransMilenio bus from the airport terminal (COP 3,000) is cheapest but crowded and luggage-unfriendly. Rental car desks are in the arrivals hall. The airport is about 15 km west of the city center via Av. El Dorado.

Bogota Climate

Bogotá sits at 2,600m elevation. The airport climate is cool and changeable year-round regardless of the tropical latitude. Temperatures at the airport hold between 7–19°C in all months. There is no true summer or winter. Two wet seasons (March–May and September–November) and two drier seasons alternate.

Afternoon thunderstorms during wet seasons can cause delays. Morning fog is the most common disruption risk year-round, due to the Bogotá savanna's topography. Pack a light jacket. The altitude makes evenings noticeably cold even in the warmest months. Acclimatise slowly if arriving from sea level.

Avianca, LATAM Colombia, Wingo, and EasyFly all operate CTG–BOG nonstop. Avianca runs the highest frequency at 5–7 daily departures. LATAM and Wingo add competing flights. Rafael Núñez International Airport (CTG) serves all carriers from its single terminal. At Bogotá El Dorado (BOG), Avianca and LATAM use Terminal 1; Wingo uses Terminal Puente Aéreo (Terminal 2). Flight time is 55 minutes. Combined daily departures across carriers typically reach 10–14.
El Dorado sits at 2,548 meters (8,360 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest major airports in South America. Aircraft arriving from Cartagena (essentially sea level) take off from dense, warm air and land in thin, cold air. Runway length requirements increase at altitude, and fuel calculations differ from sea-level operations. For passengers, the effect is mild altitude adjustment: some people feel lightheaded after landing at BOG. Pilots and airlines factor in density altitude for fuel and performance calculations on every CTG–BOG departure.
Rafael Núñez Airport is 3 km from the walled city. Metered taxis run 10–15 minutes and cost COP 15,000–25,000 (roughly $4–6 USD). Uber operates in Cartagena and is available at the terminal. TransCaribe BRT does not have a stop directly at the airport. The walk into the historic center is possible for those traveling light, but heat and luggage make it impractical for most arrivals. From El Dorado in Bogotá, TransMilenio bus service runs to Portal El Dorado in about 30 minutes; taxis and Uber run 30–60 minutes to Candelaria or Chapinero depending on traffic.

Cartagena to Bogotá: Colombia's Coast-to-Capital Corridor

CTG–BOG connects Rafael Núñez International Airport in Cartagena, Colombia's premier Caribbean coast tourism city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to El Dorado International in Bogotá, the national capital and largest city. Avianca, Colombia's flag carrier, holds the largest share of departures on this corridor. LATAM Colombia and Wingo provide competing nonstop service. Block time is 55 minutes. The route carries a high proportion of inbound international tourists who arrive at BOG and connect to Cartagena, as well as Cartagena business travelers heading to the capital's government and financial institutions.

Airport Context and Connecting Traffic

El Dorado handles around 35 million passengers annually and is Avianca's hub for South American, transatlantic, and North American connections. Cartagena's airport handles around 5 million annually, with significant growth driven by tourism. The CTG–BOG segment functions as a domestic feeder for Avianca's long-haul network: passengers arriving from Miami, Madrid, or New York at BOG connect to CTG for Caribbean coastal stays. Wingo, a Spirit Airlines affiliate, offers low-cost nonstop service from Terminal Puente Aéreo, targeting domestic leisure travelers. Colombia's domestic aviation market has grown substantially, and CTG is one of its higher-demand non-hub airports due to its year-round tourism draw.
