What LIM to BOG looks like
The LIM to BOG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Lima LIM to Bogota BOG is a medium haul sector of 1,888 km by great circle, flown nonstop 9.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,888 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 55m.
Lima LIM is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 67 scheduled destinations and 306.4 departures a day. Bogota BOG has 102 destinations and 538.2 departures a day.
Lima and Bogota keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside the Americas, a corridor where the site already publishes 13 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on LIM to BOG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIM to BOG | 9.86 | 69 | Avianca, LATAM, LATAM Colombia, LATAM Peru |
| BOG to LIM | 9.43 | 66 | Air Canada, Avianca, LATAM, LATAM Colombia |
5 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 9.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 135 departures a week on LIM to BOG, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 55m block time on LIM to BOG. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to LIM | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At LIM before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| LIM to BOG in the air, estimated | 175 min | 7h 25m |
| Formalities at BOG | 90 min | 8h 55m |
| Delivery run in Bogota | 45 min | 9h 40m |
| Door to door | 580 min | 9h 40m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for LIM to BOG is 9h 40m.
A courier who leaves Lima at 09:00 local is on the ground in Bogota at about 11:55 local and at the door by 14:10 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Bogota, the last useful departure from Lima is around 12:50 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 35 of them join LIM to BOG.
| Connecting at | LIM to hub, flights a day | Hub to BOG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guayaquil GYE | 2.43 | 4.43 | 2,133 | 4h 43m |
| Quito UIO | 3 | 7.29 | 2,042 | 4h 45m |
| Medellin MDE | 2.29 | 50.71 | 2,246 | 4h 55m |
| Cusco CUZ | 49.43 | 1.14 | 2,629 | 5h 29m |
| Panama City PTY | 8.29 | 10.73 | 3,114 | 6h 08m |
| Cartagena CTG | 1.57 | 33.71 | 3,160 | 6h 10m |
With 9.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
35 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Guayaquil GYE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about twice a day.
Through GYE the routing covers 2,133 km against the 1,888 km nonstop track and takes about 4h 43m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 48m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Quito UIO at 4h 45m and Medellin MDE at 4h 55m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Bogota, Medellin MDE is 215 km away by great circle and carries 39 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for LIM to BOG in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
