Bogotá

• Follow signs to passport control immediately on landing
• Have onward boarding pass and hotel/address ready for questions
• Typical waits run 20 to 30 min but can stretch to 60 to 90 min when multiple international flights land at once (busiest windows: 06:00 to 09:00 and 18:00 to 22:00). Migración Colombia kiosks shorten the line for some nationalities. The Check-Mig online form must be submitted between 72 hours and 1 hour before arrival.

TransMilenio K86 runs from the El Dorado TransMilenio station to La Sabana in 45 to 60 min. A free green Alimentador feeder bus links Terminals 1 and 2 to that station. Buy a Tullave card at the SITP counters in Arrivals (around COP 2,900 per ride). Official white airport taxis queue outside Arrivals; buy a prepaid ticket at the taxi booth to avoid negotiating fares.

• Leave enough buffer - trains run to a schedule and can be delayed
• Buy your return ticket in advance if possible
• Set an alarm 85 min before your departure gate closes

• Re-entry security at BOG typically takes 10-20 min
• Check your gate - it may have changed while you were out
• Liquids bought in the city cannot pass security - finish or bin them
