Since we are flying with a broken leg we are constrained to Aviancas domestic luggage regulations. Avianca allows 40 lbs only without a surcharge.
Can anyone advise me on an economical means of transporting excess luggage to Medellin from Bogota?

untreated says on Jun 5, 2007, 10:17: Use "De Prisa" This is Avianca's freight service, just take your excess baggage to any De Prisa office and send it to your final destinantion in Colombia. We ship excess luggage frequently from Cali to Santa Marta for about 1000 pesos per kilo.

lpdiver says on Jun 5, 2007, 12:34: The problem is I have a broken flight. I am flying to Bogota, staying a week then continuing on to Medellin. Avianca will honor Americans baggage allowance if it is a direct flight. "cook some rice!" 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

Ctg Bound says on Jun 5, 2007, 12:59: lpdiver ok, makes sense to send it on via one of the delivery companies.
