medellín to cartagena

i live in medellín and will probably be going to cartagena (finally!) in september. i´m really disappointed with the price of airfare within colombia. a few people have suggested the bus to me, but that´s 13 hours and i´m only going to have a long weekend off of work, so that would hardly be worth it.

does anyone know of any airfare promotions or good websites to check? how far in advance should i book the flight?

I wouldn't suggest the bus with such a short time off. Go with www.aires.com or try one of the other discount providers located within Colombia.

You could take the bus overnight, although it's still tiring, at least you wouldn't loose too much of your weekend.

bigtexas, what are the discount providers in colombia? for my fiance and me, aires.com is about 1.2 million pesos. doesnt that seem like a lot for such a short flight? i miss jetBlue!

500,000-600,000 round trip sounds about right for the flight per person

i flew aires yesterday and they had some adds in their magazine for 3day 2night trips including airfare, hotel, some food for around 500,000 per person, medellin to cartagena.
