SMR still goes into Puente Aereo

While everything JC said above is true for most travelers on national AV flights, there are still some that go to Puente Aereo and SMR is one of them. I flew MDE-BOG-SMR-BOG-MDE about a month ago and we had to take the bus. IF the bus is running at that hour, the connection would still be fine. I could not find anything on the AV site or the airport site that indicated the hours of operation. If you take a taxi, you would have plenty of time too.

However, as it happens I am flying that route again tomorrow. I will try to confirm the hours the bus operates and let you know.
