AeroRepublica

Hi..I am working out travel arrangements for my stay in Colombia in a month. Last night my husband told me that AeroRepublica has a deal where you can buy a ticket for about $250USD and get 5 flights out of it. Does anyone know about this? I can't get a website for AeroRepublica to come up.

Another question - has anyone here ever taken a bus from Bogota to Cartagena? How long does it take? How much does it cost? Is it a rough trip?

Many thanks...

I get some kind of login request when I access that page. I use a Mac w/ Safari, so I thought it had something to do with that, but I also tried a PC with Explorer. Are you not getting the login box?

No, I just get the home page for the airline. No login box.

Adrim had this same problem, it asked her for a login but when I access it in IE, Opera or Firefox I get the homepage.

Are you Sure... you are not thinks of Avianca's Discover Colombia airpass??

The bus is a longgggggggggggggg trip, about 1127 km, and about 22/23 hours. The cost is about 42.000 CPOs

gator that's what it cost...about 7 years ago, and it doesn't take 22/23 hours, it takes 18/19 and costs about 100.000 single ticket

I looked up Avianca's Discover Colombia pass, but it looks like it's only available for folks coming from the UK (I'll be coming from NYC), and my husband, who lives in Bogota currently, wouldn't be able to buy it either.

I used IE for the AeroRepublica site...but still, no go. SNIFF*

A Little Help... http://www.aerorepublica.com.co/ should take you there-if not you might have to enable "cookies."

This is a hard site to navagate. For a quick read do this:

Open site
On the right side under RESERVAS click CONTINUAR
On the right side click the icon that reads VOLVER A EMPEZAR
On the right side go about 2/3 of the way down and you will see
TARIFAS AND CIUDADES highlighted in pale red.
Click TARIFAS FOR A LIST OF FARES BY DESTINATION, CUIDADES FOR
A TABLE THAT SHOWS WHAT SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY CITY.


I do not think Aero officers an incountry pass any longer-that was, I think a special promotion several months ago. At least I could not find any mention of such and animal on their site. I may call them in Bogotá today and ask.

Discover Colombian Air Pass can be bout in the USA as well as the UK. Must be purchased before flying to Colombia.

Wait until you get to Colombia My advice, although I could be wrong, would be for you to wait until you arrive to buy any in country travel tickets.....they are usually much cheaper if bought in Colombia.....somebody tell me if I am still correct on this please?

I believe you are correct for individual flights, but sometimes packages are available overseas that aren't available in Colombia. Personally I bought tickets upon arriving in Bogotá.

AeroRepublica is a great airline. I flew it for the first time since ACES folded, late model 737, good flight crew etc.

Only thing was the pilot didn't have any gray hair and I feel a little more compfortable if the pilot has an AARP card.

Buying a ticket in Colombia at a local travel agent always seems to be much less.
