First Latin American flight in a hot minute and my first international narrowbody flight in a long time. I probably should start doing more of these, especially with the MAX on the horizon.

You should, with American you can do Miami to Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, Quito and Guayaquil not to mention the many longer ones with Copa Airlines

Hmm, Bogotá was actually one I was thinking of doing

It’s a pretty scenic approach over the Andes

I’ve flown the Air Canada 787-9 into there before; if you level out at the bottom of your descent too early you’ll get dangerously close to the mountains
