Comments: 

I paid for an entire pallet. I could’ve put another big bike (BMW R1200GS) or 4 small bikes on the pallet and saved money. I exchanged emails with Rocio and his team prior to my departure. The day after new year’s, Irode my bike to the cargo terminal in Panama City at 8 am.  The folks there walked me through the entire process. It took 1-2 hours to complete the paperwork, make payments, and get the bike all packed up. The cargo crew let me watch and take photos of the process. Afterward they contacted me to let me know the bike was on the plane at noon and would reach Bogota around 1:20 pm. Great customer service on the Panama City side. They secured and wrapped the bike like it was their own.

On the Bogota side it took about 7 hours to get the bike. Most of that time was waiting in customs for someone to look at my paperwork. However both the cargo crew and customs personnel were nice and helpful. Just too much waiting to get through the process on the destination side.
