Default Airfare.. truth always stranger then fiction..

Ok, so I'm looking at airfare again to Colombia, for travel in January. I'd like to fly to Bogota, spend a day there, then continue on to Cali, for a few days then fly back to the states. I'm trying to figure out what the best strategy is for this double hop.

Has anyone bought tickets in Colombia? Are short term tickets bought in country extremely expensive? I looked at avianca, they had tickets for $119,400COP(64USD), but then an addition 111,000COP ($59USD) in fuel surcharge. These prices are based on purchasing in Colombia. Total price 289,000COP ($156 USD).

Now if I set my country to USA, the lowest price goes from $34 one way to $134 one way. WTF??? Part of this is because the lowest tier of pricing just disappears off the page. Total price quoted in USD $269.55.

How airlines price tickets is total flippin voodoo hoodoo.. Just makes me crazy...

Tony
