The quickest way is a one-stop connection, most commonly through Bogotá (BOG) on Avianca (the long leg operated by Avianca or United), taking around 8–9 hours total with a short layover. Other frequent connection hubs include Miami (MIA), Panama City (PTY), and Charlotte (CLT), with total travel times typically 11–15 hours depending on the routing.", "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg. Stop counts, connecting hubs, and per-airline prices are drawn from a large sample of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. We group those fares by number of stops, by the hub airport a connection routes through, and by operating airline, and report each group's share of the sample alongside its lowest and median price.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule", "redeye_flights", "route_options" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Cali?", "answer": "At Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO), taxis are the most reliable and widely used way to reach Cali’s city center, with licensed yellow taxis available outside the terminal and pre-paid counters inside for a fixed, metered fare. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Cabify also operate but face some legal restrictions, so pickup points may be less convenient. The MÍO mass-transit bus system connects the airport area to the city via feeder routes, though it’s slower and not directly integrated with the terminal. Car rentals from major agencies are available on-site, but driving in Cali can be chaotic for visitors. Taxis remain the fastest and most-used option, with a typical trip to the center taking about 30–40 minutes.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "http://www.airportdistancecalculator.com/alfonso-b-aragon-airport-clo-details.html", "title": "Alfonso B.

For each calendar day we take a representative round-trip fare — a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings — and Gaussian-smooth the series so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled: the seasonal shape is borrowed from the nearest dense routes (by origin-and-destination great-circle distance) with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings, so a sparse route still shows a plausible curve.

Booking less than 3 weeks ahead pushes prices up to about $400+, while booking more than 3 months out can cost $460-$507. For summer and holiday periods, demand rises, so earlier booking within the 4-6 week window (or slightly beyond it) is advisable to lock in near-optimal fares.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. It expresses the typical round-trip fare as a function of how many days before departure a trip is booked — from about 180 days out down to the day of departure — aggregating the route's bookings by advance-purchase days and Gaussian-smoothing the curve the same way as the seasonal baseline. From that curve we highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare as the suggested booking window.
