Cheap Flights from Rio De Janeiro to Bogota Starting at $158

Rio de Janeiro is served mainly by two airports with distinct roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) is the city’s international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic; it’s about 20–25 km north of downtown and can take 30–50 minutes by taxi or rideshare depending on traffic, or roughly 45–60 minutes by the BRT + train combo, with fares usually moderate for public transit. Santos Dumont (SDU) sits much closer — about 2–4 km from the central business district — and is often used for domestic and short-haul flights by regional and low-cost carriers; transfers can be 10–20 minutes by taxi and shorter by metro/bus, with lower transit costs. Pros: GIG offers more international connections and full-service amenities, while SDU is convenient for fast access to the city center. Cons: GIG can feel farther and subject to heavy traffic at peak times; SDU may have fewer long-haul options and limited aircraft types.

El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is Bogotá’s main international gateway and a major South American hub, serving a mix of full-service carriers and regional airlines; it can be priced mid-to-premium compared with domestic alternatives. Located about 10–15 km west of downtown (roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic), the airport is reachable by taxi, app ride services and airport shuttles, with fares typically ranging from modest to moderate and buses offering the cheapest option. Pros: modern international terminals, good connectivity and plenty of flight choices. Cons: heavy traffic to the city, busy peak periods and security/checkpoint queues that can add time to transfers. El Dorado also handles many domestic flights and low-cost carriers alongside international services, making it the practical choice for most travelers to Bogotá and beyond. Ground links include official airport taxis, regulated ride-hailing services and private transfer operators; travel times can vary widely in rush hours. While there are basic public bus options for budget-conscious travelers, those prioritizing comfort may prefer prebooked transfers or taxis. Overall, El Dorado balances broad airline coverage and international facilities with occasional congestion and variable journey times into the city center.
