Getting to the city
Give yourself more time than you think for the run between El Dorado and Bogota. Traffic on the main roads can be heavy at peak times, and the trip is rarely as quick as it looks on a map. Licensed taxis and ride-hailing apps both work; order your car from inside the terminal and check the plate before you get in. Ignore drivers who approach you in arrivals, and keep some cash on you in case a card reader is not working. If you are connecting to a domestic flight, leave a buffer.
