El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Bogotá’s main airport, located about 15 km (9 miles) from the city center. It’s well-connected with direct flights from major cities in North and South America, Europe, and beyond. Many international airlines, such as Avianca, American Airlines, Delta, United, LATAM, Lufthansa, Air France, Iberia and Air Europa operate frequent flights to Bogotá.

Direct Flights from Major Cities

From the U.S.: Nonstop flights are available from cities like Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Houston.

From Europe: Direct flights connect from Madrid, Paris, and Frankfurt.

Getting around Bogotá is easiest and safest with taxis (e.g., using the Easy Taapsi app) or ride-hailing apps like Uber and Cabify, which are widely available and convenient. While the TransMilenio bus system is extensive, it can be crowded and may not suit everyone’s comfort level. For shorter distances, walking in well-known areas like La Candelaria or Zona G is also a great way to explore. Remember to plan extra time for traffic, especially during peak hours, as Bogotá is a bustling city!
