La Paz to Bogota was a pleasant experience, departure time as advertised. Problems started in Bogota, not the first time it happens, delay was significant which made me miss my flight in Fort Lauderdale. I am from the NE, we know Floridians are slow, but this time they went overboard: 45 min to collect our bags, 30 min to go through Immigration, there were literally two agents dealing with a huge line of travelers, truly outrageous!! I was asked to walk with baggage from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 in the Floridian humidity and heat, these folks need their thyroid functions checked, imagine a cardiac elderly individual doing that, total nonsense! There was no way in hell I was going to make it to my next flight with such obstacle race so my friendly advice is this: get your act together and plan rationally
