El Dorado International Airport (BOG) is located primarily in the Fontibón district of Bogotá, Colombia, extending into Engativá and the municipality of Funza. Covering 1,700 acres with two 3,800-metre runways, it is Colombia's busiest airport and the second busiest in Latin America. Known globally as 'The Hub of the Americas', it serves as a critical strategic junction for direct flights across North, Central, and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East.
The airport operates with two passenger terminals. Terminal 1 (T1) handles all international flights alongside domestic routes, organized into an international pier on the north side and a domestic pier on the south side. Terminal 2 (T2), historically known as Puente Aéreo, handles specific regional domestic traffic. El Dorado serves as the primary hub for Colombian flag carrier Avianca and acts as an operational base for LATAM Colombia, Copa Airlines Colombia, Satena, and other carriers.

Lost, delayed or damaged baggage at BOG
If your checked bag doesn't turn up on the belt, act before you leave the baggage-claim area — that's where every airline keeps its Baggage Service Office.
- Go to your airline's Baggage Service Office in the baggage-claim hall of your arrival terminal.
- File a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and get your file reference (WorldTracer) number. Keep your bag-tag receipt and boarding pass.
- Track it online using that reference on your airline's baggage-tracking page — most bags are located within 24–48 hours.
- Claim your essentials. On delayed bags airlines reimburse reasonable interim purchases (toiletries, clothing) — keep receipts. International trips are covered by the Montreal Convention.
- If it's truly lost (generally after 21 days) or damaged, file the claim at the same office — damage must be reported before you leave the airport.
Left something in the terminal (not a checked bag)? That's handled by the airport Lost & Found. Items left at a TSA security checkpoint are held by the TSA, not the airline.
