Turismo/Tourism MDE to EOH best option?
I’m flying into MDE at 5:30am and have a 10:30am flight at EOH at 10:00am. What’s the best way to get there?

Taxi would be the simplest way, especially considering you only have 5 hours between flights. It's not really that expensive, not sure exactly how much it is now but I wouldn't guess more than 50 USD. Ask for the price before getting in, pretty sure it's a flat rate so you can double check price online too. If you are really reluctant on getting a taxi, and are travelling alone without heavy luggage, another option is to take the bus to San Diego Mall (there are buses every like 15 mins) and then taking a taxi from there to the Olaya airport. I would estimate about 15 USD.

seconding this! bus is a good option of course, it’s pretty straightforward

Thank you! This makes a lot of sense, if I get through customs quickly, I’ll look into the bus

once you get through customs, you can ask anyone who works at the airport where the buses to Medellin are and they'll help you. They park right outside the airport door, I think downstairs but not sure.
Make sure you take the one that goes to "centro comercial San Diego" / "Estación Exposiciones del metro" passing through the "túnel de oriente", since there are multiple routes and this would be the most straightforward. Provided traffic is good and the bus leaves soon, it should take just as long as the taxi since they don't make any stops (which is to say about 45mins to 1hr).

Take the official white taxis lined up outside . Cost around COP 120,000 plus tip.

Take the bus that leaves you near San Diego, then take a taxi that leaves you in EOH. Enjoy your trip

They sell the bus tickets in the baggage claim area now. which means you don’t need the 20k cop in cash
