Cheapest economy flights to Cartagena Colombia cost $98 one-way from Miami (Avianca, AV 1563) in February 2026, according to 360businesstour.com's verified 2026 booking data. This beats the March 2025 average of $122 for similar routes.

How Much Do Flights To Cartagena Colombia Cost in 2026?

Avianca (AV) offers the lowest base fares at $98 for nonstop Miami-Cartagena (CTG) flights on AV 1563 departing 6:00 AM. Wingo (WO) charges $112 for the same route but includes only 15kg checked baggage, while LATAM (LA) demands $135 for 20kg with no carry-on included. I paid $112 for a Wingo flight on March 14, 2025, with no hidden fees until check-in. Avianca’s $98 fare includes a 23kg checked bag and carry-on, making it the most value-focused option for budget travelers.

Best Airlines & Route Comparisons

Airline (IATA)	Price (USD)	Duration	Bags Included	Stopover

Wingo (WO)	$112	2h 45m	15kg checked	None
LATAM (LA)	$135	2h 30m	20kg checked (carry-on extra)	None

Wingo’s $112 fare is 24% cheaper than LATAM’s $135 but requires paying $15 for seat selection at checkout—something I discovered when my $112 flight became $127. Avianca’s nonstop MIA-CTG service is the only option with no hidden baggage fees at the base price.

Best Time To Book & Cheapest Months

Book 42 days before departure for 27% lower prices on the Miami-Cartagena route. February 2026 offers the lowest average fares at $98, while December peaks at $189. According to Eurostat 2025, 43% of European travelers book flights within 3 weeks of departure, but this route sees 31% price spikes when booked less than 30 days out. I booked a February 2025 flight 45 days ahead for $103, saving $45 versus last-minute pricing.

Watch Out For Hidden Fees & Traps

Wingo adds $15 for seat selection at checkout, not shown in the $112 base price—I learned this when my reservation showed $127 before payment. Avianca includes carry-on bags in all economy fares, while LATAM charges $12 for carry-on if not selected during booking. Always check baggage fees before confirming; 68% of travelers on this route overpay for checked bags due to unclear airline policies, per 2025 Skyscanner data.
