AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your flight the day before, as schedules to Bogotá can shift or consolidate with little notice.
There is no dedicated international service, so any onward international leg requires connecting through Bogotá's El Dorado airport instead.
Arrive with generous buffer since TDA has only a few flights daily and missing one can mean a full day's delay.
Bring cash, as airport services and card payment options are minimal.
Check bags early since the single check-in counter can queue up quickly before the one or two daily departures.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
The entire airport is one small building, so passengers walk from check-in through the single security checkpoint to the gate area in a few minutes. There are no separate terminals, no airside transfer corridors, and no re-screening zones since all traffic is domestic.
