cheap air travel to Bogota

Andy, I think you need to look into what is called a Hahn airpass (also known as an "All America Airpass") - you'll find the tickets to be much cheaper than those purchased directly from the airlines.

paisa tours, that airpass you mentioned, is it simlpy a way of putting all your flights on the one ticket, but you have to book them individually yourself? Their website is about as clear as mud.....so far I have a cost of $1327 which sees me round everywhere but I can't find how to calculate the taxes. Have you used this airpass before?

Try the Copa Airlines' website. I think they can beat what you are finding. I have used them a lot. Can also accrue "One Pass Miles'.
They fly in and out of quite a few cities in Colombia. However, in order to avoid Panama's high airport tax charge, don't do a "free" stop over when going through their hub.

aaahhhh now that is interesting, cos I have just booked my RTW ticket but decided to miss out latin america on it, the plan being that I would simply use airlines like copa when and where I needed them when I got into latin america. I priced up a ticket online through kyak.com from brazil to san juan and I think it was Copa, and it went via panama....it said £450 and that tax was included in that....do you think there will be extra tax to pay??

Try www.LAN.com They are very competitive price-wise, and the most upscale carrier I have ever flown to South America. Big planes too. They fly 767s from Miami to Bogota.

BEWARE of gold diggers.

Andy, sorry 4 delayed response. Trying to calculate Hahn airpass prices yourself is pretty complex - don't bother! I've booked it for many clients when I previously worked for a tour operator - it's almost always the cheapest means. Rarely is it cheapest to book directly with Copa. Find a specialist tour operator that can book the hahn airpass, see this guide to airpasses in South America for some advice.
