Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Washington to Cartagena.

What is the typical flight duration from Washington to Cartagena?

The flight from Washington to Cartagena covers about 1,965 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Washington to Cartagena?

There are no direct flights from Washington to Cartagena. The shortest connecting routing is on JetBlue via Fort Lauderdale (FLL), which takes 6 hours 37 minutes — a 2-hour 34-minute first leg, a 1-hour 11-minute layover, and a 2-hour 52-minute second leg. Copa Airlines via Panama City is a close alternative at 7 hours 15 minutes, while Delta via Atlanta runs 7 hours 16 minutes.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Cartagena?

From Rafael Núñez International Airport, taxis are available at the passenger terminal and are the most-used option for reaching the city center, about 4 km away. Ride-share apps like Uber and InDriver also operate, along with airport buses serving tourist areas and local public buses connecting to several neighborhoods. Taxis are generally the fastest and most reliable choice given the airport's small size and proximity to the historic center.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Washington to Cartagena?

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Washington to Cartagena, but Copa Airlines operates a connecting overnight option whose long leg departs Washington Dulles at 2:25 AM and arrives in Panama City at 6:13 AM, with a short layover before continuing to Cartagena. This overnight long leg lands in the early morning hours.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Washington to Cartagena?

There are no nonstop flights from Washington to Cartagena. Copa Airlines offers the most frequent one-stop connection via Panama City, with about 15 daily departures and a total trip time around 7 hours 15 minutes. JetBlue connects via Fort Lauderdale or New York JFK, Avianca via Bogotá, and American Airlines via Miami.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Cartagena?

Cartagena has one main airport, Rafael Núñez International Airport, located about 5 km northeast of the historic walled city and popular tourist areas. It serves all commercial flights to and from Cartagena.

How do I get to Washington Dulles International Airport from the city center?

From downtown Washington, the WMATA Metrorail Silver Line offers direct service to Dulles, with trains every 15 minutes and a trip of about 47–53 minutes for a few dollars; the Silver Line Express bus connects the airport to the Metrorail station for $5. Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft, along with Washington Flyer taxis, provide door-to-door convenience at a significantly higher cost, typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, while shared shuttles and private car services offer middle-ground pricing. Driving and parking are also available, though parking adds to the overall expense. The Silver Line is the most popular and cost-effective option, while rideshare or taxi is the fastest when traffic is light.

These nearby hotels offer shuttle service for guests seeking uninterrupted sleep.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Washington to Cartagena?

There is no nonstop service from Washington to Cartagena. American Airlines connects via Miami using Boeing 737-800 aircraft on the long leg. Avianca connects via Bogotá with Airbus A320neo, and Copa Airlines connects via Panama City with Boeing 737 MAX 8 and Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Washington to Cartagena?

There is no nonstop service from Washington to Cartagena, so flights connect through hubs. The carriers currently operating the route are Copa Airlines and Avianca (both Star Alliance), American Airlines (oneworld), and JetBlue, which belongs to no alliance. Other alliances may serve the route via connections, but these are the airlines and alliances on it today.
