Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you're using The Platinum Card® from American Express, you'll need to book directly with the airline or through the Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to get the time away from work or family.

There's never a bad time to visit Colombia, so when there are low fares to get there, you jump on. That time is now, as we're currently seeing flights from major cities across the US including Fort Lauderdale (FLL), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK/LGA), Los Angeles (LAX) and Phoenix (PHX) to Bogotá (BOG), Cartagena (CTG) and Medellín (MDE) from $223 round-trip. The low fares are being offered by COPA, JetBlue and Viva Air and are available from September through December 2019.
