Time difference against Mexico City. In July, Bogotá runs 1 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC−5 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC−5, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

Coordinates, and why we publish them. 4.70159, -74.1469 is the position from which every great-circle distance on this site is computed, including the ones that set the EU261 compensation band. It is not the distance the aircraft flies — that follows airways and diversions — but the geodesic measure the regulations use. Publishing it lets anyone recompute the figures on these pages.

Base of Avianca. An airline basing here means aircraft and crews overnighting at the airport: more of its own services to rebook a disrupted passenger onto, and more early departures. The flip side is that at an airport dominated by one carrier the competitive pressure on fares is weaker than where several compete.

Airlines at BOG

3 catalogued airlines operate routes to or from BOG: 2 full-service and 1 low-cost, with checked allowance from 0 to 25 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam, Star Alliance. They cover 4 catalogued routes and 36 weekly departures. The table below lists each operator with its type, alliance and checked allowance.

Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

25 kg separate the most generous operator from the leanest at BOG. That gap is what reorders prices once the bag is in: a cheaper base fare on a carrier with no included baggage can land above a full-service one the moment you check a single piece. Compare the total, not the headline figure.

Alliances present at BOG: SkyTeam, Star Alliance. It matters for two concrete things: where miles credit, and what happens when something breaks. Within one alliance, rebooking onto another member is usually provided for; between carriers with no agreement it does not exist and depends on goodwill at the desk. If you buy two legs on operators from different alliances, treat them as two separate trips.

Routes to Bogotá (BOG)

Our catalogue lists 4 routes into BOG, totalling 36 weekly departures and spanning 2,278 to 3,624 km. The busiest is MEX-BOG at ~21 flights a week; 1 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 2 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

What traffic BOG moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Latin American regional corridor (3), Caribbean leisure corridor (1). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Why some rows have no fare. Of the 4 routes listed, 1 returned a price on the collector’s last pass and the rest show a dash. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Fare seasonality

1 routes at BOG carry a monthly minimum-fare breakdown. Between the cheapest and priciest months observed the gap reaches 48% on the widest route, which shows how much the date matters against the choice of airline at this airport.

Lowest detected fare by month on routes with data, in pesos (MXN). The cheapest versus dearest month helps you time the purchase:

The three peaks of the Mexican calendar. December, Holy Week and summer concentrate family and leisure demand at once, and in those windows price stops responding to normal lead time: cheap buckets sell out earlier and flexible fares go at a premium. Outside them, the usual pattern rewards buying 4 to 8 weeks ahead and travelling midweek. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

What a ‘cheapest month’ means here. It is the minimum the automated query found for that month — not an average and not a guaranteed fare — and it usually corresponds to the least convenient date combination in the month. A month with no row is not an expensive month: it is a month with no data. With that caveat, the month-to-month comparison still holds because every cell was measured the same way.

Connection tips

BOG concentrates 36 catalogued weekly departures across 3 airlines, in the America/Bogota zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional El Dorado runs on the America/Bogota time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at BOG is MEX-BOG (~21 flights a week). The lowest fare detected at this airport is $2,804 MXN on the CUN-BOG route. Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Bogotá; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
