Paris-Bogota-Cartagena with Air France / Aerorepublica

Will arrive in Bogota with Air France and have a connecting flight with Aerorepublica to Cartagena. Anyone knows if luggage has to be claimed and re-checked in Bogota?

I called Air France but they couldn't tell for sure. I do know that with Avianca baggage is checked through to final destination.

yes it has to be claimed and re-checked - when you exit customs/immigration swing right and there's a check-in for both avianca/aero-repulica...

if you have 2 hours to connect you should be fine if your arrival is on time.
I have flown many times on air france and I would guess theyd depart about 45 mins late on average and arrive about 15 minutes late on avewrage (the shcedules are slightly conservative).

100 % it has to be claimed. Luckily Air Chance are usually on time, they have never been late and I fly every 6 weeks with them on this route - very happy that way (although they have cancelled flights twice due to strikes). Having your bags arrive with you however is another question - although if you start of point is Paris and you did not have a connection there you should be fine.
