Off we go, for a flight that is shorter than taxi time!

We would only be in the air for less than half an hour. Only drinks were served and Business Class seemed full today thanks to a few of my friends being upgraded from Economy Class.

Medellin's weather was less nice than Bogota and we descended through the clouds into a lush landscape. The city was nowhere to be seen and we touched down at a much quieter airport on time.

This airport looked much older. Priority bags took 2 cart loads to arrive so I had a slight wait to retrieve my suitcase. Then it was an easy hop out the door for the taxi into town.

Avianca was a surprise with a very good hard product for such a short flight. The lounge at Bogota was a disappointment but there are plenty of other food options air-side. Service on board was decent and I would pick flying over the bus any day!
