open flight ticket from Europe to Colombia

Next September I plan to go to Colombia for one year time to study the language. Yet, I have been experiencing some problems when trying to find an open flight ticket... Does anyone know what airlines are selling them from Europe to Colombia? Obviously, I can`t get them on the internet as an ordinary return ticket. Since the date of my return is further than the dates they are offering even now, I can`t use this option and need an open return ticket.
Anyone can help? I appreciate it... :-) Thanks guys!

Open tickets Hi Shenley,
Not sure where you´re based but I bought a one year Lufthansa ticket from Trailfinders in Hight St. Kensington, London. The ticket was bought and paid for at the end of March 2006 and the latest return date that the agent could put on the issued ticket was 28/03/07. I left the UK at the end of May 2006. Trailfinders gave me the phone numbers for Lufthansa so I can phone them direct to change the return flight back to Europe, the latest possible return date being end of May 2007. Of course have to pay somelike USD75 for each change of date!

Good luck!

language schools Hi Mujerdelrlanda, I have done quite extensive research about schools in Medellin... where I want to go. It was quite hard, since most of schools are very, very expensive and the only one affordable with a good quality was EAFIT. Not sure the school is in Bogota as well but in general it should be easier to find an affordable course over there!
If you want to, contact me on my email... it is in my contact details! We can maybe talk about it here in London... If I will find something I will let you know! I can also ask some people...
So, drop me a line and we can try to work it out :-)
Have a lovely day...

sShenley I think you might find it cheaper and easier to get a return flight and just pay the difference. A one way is usually more expensive than a return, have you tried studentflights.com? They usually have quite interesting deals...I bought a one way from London to Bogota for around 350 pounds...
Good luck!

Mujer de Irlanda, It depends on where you want to go, I know some unis in Bogota (Javeriana, Universidad de La Sabana and Universidad Nacional) offer pretty decent courses. I cannot reccomend one as I have never taken any but I am sure youd be fine attending any of those.

If anyone can tell me what they thought eg was it good value for mone, was the course content what you wanted etc?? Its getting close to when I want to move and am still having trouble fiding a suitable school. Any comments welcome :)
