I've flown into BOG from Newark a number of times and based on my experience, 90 minutes will be pushing it. I'd say it's about 50/50.

Is your TACA ticket completly separate from your Air France ticket? If you can connect without clearing immigration (which can take at least 30 minutes + another 30 minutes minimum to retrieve and clear checked luggage) you should be okay. They direct connecting passengers down another hallway to the right (I've never been down that hallway, so I don't know what happens there).

But if you have to clear immigration and check-in at TACA and go through immigration/security to re-enter, 90 minutes is not enough. I just hope both your flights are on one itinerary.

Also, if your tickets are separate and you miss your connection because Air France was late or it took a long time to clear immigration, TACA is not responsible - it will cost you money to rebook and they won't give you a hotel room.

Good luck!
