That $120,000 is a promotional price. Don't be mad at the airline. Even with the taxes that is a pretty good deal.

Most of those taxes are set by the government and are not necessarily based on the fare. They are fixed airport taxes, fuel surcharges, etc. For example, Easy Fly has some promotional fares that are $20,000 roundtrip. However, the taxes and surcharges add another $160,000 to the total price paid.

Today I read of one Airline that imposed a $120 Fuel Surcharge on their ticket prices. Sadly, the Offseason months of Cheap Airline Tickets to Colombia is going the way of the Passenger Pigeon, to extinction. In a year or two, probably even less, Today's Ticket prices are going to seem like firesale bargains,,,

I cant find a link for Aires anywhere when I search?????? Can someone help me. I need a flight in Colombia and Aires or Avianca are the only two carriers that offer service. Short flight under 30 mins but Avianca wants over $400 for that, obviously inflated Gringo price. I will probably have to walk up and book it at the airport.

Yes, notoriously only gringos fly Avianca.
Which is the under 30 minutes flight you need to book?

Remember, I can only tell the truth. No more Sex Tourism in Colombia.

CG, there was a time, not too distant, when european airlines, (Ryanair or Go I think), were actually paying us 1 Euro to fly with them. Of course...there was the tax to pay. Still, a perversely good deal.
