Flying out of Miami International
Miami International is the most important US airport for Latin America and the Caribbean by a wide margin, and on most routes south it is simply the cheapest place in the country to start. The depth is the point: where another US city offers one daily flight to Bogotá or Santo Domingo, Miami offers several on competing airlines, and competition on a route is what actually moves a fare. It is also the airport where a missed connection is least painful, because there is usually another departure the same day rather than the same week. For travellers across Miami-Dade, Hialeah, Kendall and Doral — and for anyone elsewhere in the US willing to connect here — that density is worth more than a nominally shorter routing.
What to know before you fly to Bogotá
Entry requirements for US travellers
US citizens do not need a visa for tourism in Colombia for short stays. There is an online immigration form (Check-Mig) to complete shortly before both departure and return — it is quick and free, and airlines do ask for it. Bogotá sits at about 8,600 feet, so take the first day gently.
Best time to go
Bogotá's altitude gives it a cool, stable climate year-round rather than seasons — expect mild days and cold evenings whenever you go, and bring a jacket regardless of the month. The driest stretches are December to March and July to August. Fare peaks follow the Colombian holiday calendar and the December–January family travel period rather than the weather.
Airports and arrival
El Dorado International (BOG) is the busiest airport in Colombia and the main connecting hub for the whole country and much of the region, so onward domestic flights are frequent and cheap. It is close to the city, though Bogotá traffic makes the transfer unpredictable — allow more time than the distance suggests.
Baggage
Colombian and low-cost carriers on this route price bags separately and enforce limits closely. The headline fare and the fare you actually pay diverge more here than on most corridors we handle, so we quote them together.

Miami to Bogotá — frequently asked questions
Fares on the Miami–Bogotá route vary widely by season and how far ahead you book. We do not publish an estimate we have not measured for this pair; call our agents and they will quote the live consolidator fare for your dates.
Carriers on this route include Avianca, LATAM, American, Delta, United and Copa Airlines. Others serve it on one-stop itineraries, and the cheapest is not always a name you would expect — the lowest fare we have tracked here was on a carrier outside that list more than once. Itineraries offer nonstop from Miami and the larger gateways, otherwise one stop via Bogotá, Panama City or Miami, and total journey time runs about 6–12 hours. Which carrier is cheapest changes with the season and the fare bucket rather than staying fixed, which is why we compare them all on every quote.
Plan on 6–12 hours from Miami International (MIA) to El Dorado International (BOG), including time on the ground if your itinerary connects.
Book three to five months ahead. The seasons are reversed, so the northern-summer months are often the value window, while Carnival and the December–February southern summer are the sharpest peaks.
Yes — this route has nonstop service, with nonstop from Miami and the larger gateways, otherwise one stop via Bogotá, Panama City or Miami. Nonstop is not always the cheapest option: a one-stop itinerary on the same dates is frequently a few hundred dollars less, and on a journey of 6–12 hours that trade is worth pricing rather than assuming. Frequencies change by season, so call us for what is actually flying on your dates.
South Florida has three airports and on routes to Latin America and the Caribbean all three are worth pricing. Miami International (MIA) has the deepest schedule and the most competing carriers. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) is thirty miles north, heavily served by low-cost airlines, and frequently cheaper on the same day for the same trip. Palm Beach (PBI) is smaller but occasionally the bargain. Most booking sites make you choose one before quoting, which is exactly how the cheapest option stays invisible.
Often, yes. These are consolidator-rich corridors where the published fare and the wholesale fare diverge, particularly around the December and Semana Santa peaks when the cheap public buckets vanish months ahead. Agents can also reach inventory on regional carriers that US booking sites either do not display or display badly. SkyKaro's agents are reachable 24/7, and nothing is charged until an agent has confirmed the itinerary and the price with you.
