Latest airport reviews
I was at this airport in July 2022 4 times . I came from Vancouver Canada. We also flew inside Colombia to Santa Marta for a week. I can tell you my experience was very positive!!! This is a wonderfully run facility with great people. Canadian airports in my experience are horrible, disorganized, rude , understaffed.
Cheers everyone.
Immigration takes 1h +, understaffed and slow
Classed with JFk and Dubai international good to see the South American county developing
