I started this thread in Travelers seeking travelers but it is more appropriate here I am sure. Look there for a bit of background. Just came back from the airport after going thru the process. The terminal de carga is about 8 kilometers past the main entrance to Tocuman International airport. The signs are very good. Follow them. Girag has it together for flying bikes to Bogota or Quito. Go to the main Girag office (the gate guard will point it out for you. Carmenza is the Sales Manager and is in charge. She only speaks Spanish but Karelia Zamorano (507) 6516-2681 is also in the office and speaks very good English (Barbara doesn`t work there any more). Carmanza/Karelia needs your passport, registration, and import papers from entering Panama to make copies. I had copies so it was a bit easier but she made the copies for Salvador. They will do their thing and give you some paperwork for the airplane guys. Bike needs to be weighed. It is done at the main office area vice airplane area. Find the "weigh" guy and do that. It is a half kilometer to the airplane area. Go there with the paperwork from the main office. Now the hard part. Upstairs at the ariplane area you pay the ladies. $551.23 (yup she gave me 7 cents change). CASH ONLY!!! She will give you a receipt that goes to Mr Dittymo (spelled like it sounds) and also the "weigh" guy. He ask us to remove the windshield and mirrors (which we did) but didn`t mention gas or battery (I was smart enough to "push" my bike into the actual cargo area but Salvador rode his and still no problems. :=) He then gets you to a fellow that give you a receipt that you take to Customs. We snagged a ride for the half Kilometer trip back near the main Girag office. The receipt and one copy of the stuff the ladies at the main office gave you and 10 minutes later "fini". We got to the Girag main office at 9:00 AM and left Aduana at 12:00 PM. While in the process we also met Larry Toby who was shipping to Quito. They quoted him $750 for the bike. Larry is traveling two up on a KLR with his 23 year old daughter (college grad present to her ???). Heading to TDF. Also met Victor Testoni from Argentenia on a Buell heading north. We went to the main airport and bought tickets on Copa to Bogota for $231. We arrive in Bogota at 12:30 PM 9th, so should be able to pick up bikes then. I`ll finish the story after that.
