Flight connections from USA to Cali, Colombia through Bogotรก

score:4

Accepted answer

2 hours are more than enough. Customs and immigration in Colombia are efficient, I fly regularly using this connection and never had problems with this connection. You'll be in your gate in less than 45 minutes.

I thought I'd post my actual experience now that my trip is over.

It turns out that going from the USA to Cali, via Bogotรก is fairly simple and quick. After exiting the plane in Bogotรก (with a filled out customs form in hand), you head to the customs area and wait in line (which is pretty short at 6am on a Saturday). The customs agent does the usual of scanning your passport and checking your customs form. Once done there, you exit the international part of the terminal and head to the domestic part (a short enough walk) and go to the connecting gate.

That's it. You don't do anything with checked in luggage. It is automatically checked through to the destination.

As Julian stated in their answer, it was about 45 minutes from landing to getting to the next gate.

My friend and I had one issue that added about 10 minutes to the process. We didn't know the name of the hotel we were staying in for our trip and this is something you are supposed to write on the customs form. I didn't have an issue but the customs agent stopped my friend because of this. Eventually, after several of the agents talked, they let us through without the name of the hotel. So be sure you always fill out everything on the form.
