Benito Salas Airport (NEO)

Benito Salas Airport operates as a crucial domestic hub with direct flights exclusively to Bogota (BOG), making all onward connections dependent on the capital city. Avianca, LATAM Colombia, and Clic Air provide multiple daily services on this 144-mile route, with flight times averaging 54 minutes. Given this single-destination model, passengers connecting to other Colombian cities must transit through El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, requiring careful timing coordination. For domestic connections, arrive at NEO at least 90 minutes before departure, though the smaller terminal can process passengers efficiently in less time. If traveling without checked baggage, 60 minutes may suffice. However, during peak business travel hours (Monday mornings and Friday afternoons), allow additional buffer time as government officials and business travelers frequently use this route. Weather delays are common during Colombia's rainy seasons (April-May and October-November), when afternoon thunderstorms can impact flight schedules. When connecting through Bogota, note that domestic passengers must clear immigration if arriving from international flights, then take a shuttle to the Puente Aereo domestic terminal for some carriers. Baggage will be checked through to your final destination only if all flights are on the same ticket. Colombian airlines often offer better fares through their mobile apps rather than international booking platforms, and VPN usage set to Colombia can sometimes resolve payment processing issues for international credit cards.
