Anyone familar with Avianca from BOG to FLL (Ft. Lauderdale)?

I'm trying to help a solo traveler and they're unfamiliar with Ft. Lauderdale. I am too.

- If a person is flying BOG > FLL on Avianca, what is the arrival terminal?

- Anything tricky about immigration, baggage claim, customs, baggage re-check?

- The person will have to re-check their luggage on Delta to ATL. Do you know the terminal for Delta outbound flights?

- Maybe this is a dumb question, but are there a ton of Spanish-speaking employees at FLL, similar to MIA?

Thanks!

Although it is possible, you have to walk outside on a hot sidewalk and it is easier to take the buses between the terminals. In general, I didn't care for the layout, but that is just my preference.
