I think your best bet is flying to Bogota then buying the ticket to medellin locally, because less that £800 from the UK to Medellin I don't see it unless you travel via USA

You could always buy it from Aires online for your in country flights, they do not pull the same scam as Avianca by charging double or triple if you buy the tickets outside the country.

Via Spain there are no good deals at the moment. It changes often with Iberia or Avianca so keep a watch on the prices daily as they will change. Problem is often for the longer returns the same deals are not available. Yesterday the best fare I saw was £854, today its £847 with Iberia. Tomorrow, or later, or another time, it will be a different price. I have seen it go down to below £600 via Spain, then the next day be a much higher price.

£614 gets you a return with BA via the US (19 Jan. - 21 July with opodo).

But yes I too want to avoid those US customs who take your lulos...

thepieman. I was in Cartagena couple of yrs ago. These Italian dudes were flying aIitalia. Don't know about the spelling. But it was direct from Cartagena to Europe. Might want to check that out. In Colombia priced tickets are cheap. Maybe $50-100 each way USD.
