The baggage policy corresponds to the fare you purchased. Please note that:

• If your connection in Bogotá is less than 24 hours, you can request at the airport of origin that your baggage be delivered in Bogotá, otherwise it will be checked through to your final destination and will not be available during your connection time.
• If your connection in Bogotá is between 24 and 48 hours, you must inform at the airport of origin, collect your baggage at El Dorado Airport, and check it in again for your next flight.

We recommend packing essential items (such as extra clothes, medications, or toiletries) in your personal item (backpack or purse) or carry-on bag (if your fare allows it). For more details, check our baggage policy.

If you choose to make a Stopover in Bogotá, you are responsible for managing your time during the layover. Passengers are solely responsible for arriving on time to board their connecting flight.

Avianca is not responsible for missed connections if the passenger leaves the airport or engages in tourism activities during their layover in Bogotá and fails to return to the gate on time for boarding. We strongly recommend planning your return to the airport well in advance, considering traffic, transit time, and airport procedures.

For international flights, you must arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure, and 2 hours before for domestic flights.

You are responsible for covering any taxes that apply based on your city of origin, final destination, or Stopover city, according to the regulations of each country. Taxes may be charged during the ticket purchase process or afterwards, as directed by local authorities.
