Try Continental. They have connections with AeroRepublica. From Albany, NY to Santa Marta is listed at $550; usually, it's over $700.

If you look and use the schedule and price function on AA... I saw MIA to MDE.. for like $59 each way... but the you add $110 in taxes it came out to like $220-$240 RT... in August-Sept..

My wife is going to Bogota for 5 days is August .. I just got the ticket last week from Pittsburgh for $440 through Travelocity. One stop in Houston with Continental. I went direct to Continental and it was $570. I normally use Kayak to search with good results but this time booking through Travelocity was far better.

I don't like Continental - they usually have that excess baggage embargo that means two checked bags and nothing else. American is a lot more excess-baggage friendly - only $100 per bag up to 23 kg. Anyway, from the West Coast the flights are a misery on both airlines with stop-overs in Houston or Miami. Price from $649 departing SFO to BOG. Granted, not totally relevant to your question, unless you carry extra bags :)

Those of you who live near a major hub will have better choices than those of us who live at the end of a feeder route. I can usually save $200-$250 by driving to NYC but then I have to deal with parking, etc and when all is said and done, I will have spent almost the same $200 that I was trying to save.

It's not fun getting off an Avianca flight at 5:00am and then driving 3 hours to get home.

The problem is latin americans are notorious for stopping at Walmart before they come home and buying a metric ton of stuff, either for their families, or to re-sell at a San Andresito.

In that case, Spirit is a natural for you. You can fly out of LGA > FLL > CTG and get there by 12:30 - 1:00pm. Not sure if they fly out of PHL but they do fly out of Atlantic CIty.

Thanks, I did the AC to CTG run the first time I went, they want abt $400-$500 depending. Just gotta keep my eyes peeled, guess it really doesn't get cheaper than that though.

The buying of excess shite and bringing it over ain't just the latinos..
