Cartagena (Colombia) by plane
Rafael Nuñez International Airport (IATA: CTG) (ICAO: SKCG) receives international flights from Panama City (COPA and Aires ), Lima (LAN Peru), Fort Lauderdale (Spirit Airlines), Caracas (COPA Colombia) and Miami (Avianca) and domestic non-stop flights from Medellín, Cali, San Andrés and Bogotá.
Cartagena is 1,000 km north of Bogotá (about an hour by air), or a 2.5 hour flight from Miami.
To get to the old city, negotiate with the cab driver before getting into a cab. The price should be around COP 8,000 or so. As of November 2009, the rate from the airport to El Laguito is COP 15,800 prepaid outside the arrivals hall. This is definitely overpriced and is gouging the newly arrived tourist. To get into town more cheaply, walk about 150 feet to the street and hail one of yellow cabs. You should be able to get a cab to take you into town for about COP 5,000 - 7,000 but offer the driver 5,000 pesos to start.
