It's a tiny booth with 2 people and flights to MIA/IAH/MEX and others all around 0000-0200.
I go to the booth at MDE, takes 2 minutes usually, I get my stamp and receipt/ticket deal, then the agents staple it to my IAH boarding pass.
Always get this stamp thing done at the smallest station you can. I'm not sure ADZ has one, they wouldn't unless they have international flights. I'm pretty sure though PEI has one since they have like 1-2 flights so that's the kinda place where I'd 100% try first rather than wait to BOG.
Good to know - it's been three years since I collected an exemption form, and it sounds like they improved the process. I agree that you are better off collecting your form at the outstation if you can, especially if you can get your BP. It makes tight connections in BOG a lot easier.
I know they can't do it at every station. I was recently on a flight from Santa Marta with an US citizen who had been instructed to collect his form and BP at BOG.
