Flights to Venezuela in December cost from about 646 dollars round trip from Bogotá, 698 from Miami and 1,148 euros from Madrid, according to Copa Airlines and TAP fares checked on 20 Oct 2026. On two comparable routes, December costs between 79% and 105% more than November.
Flights to Venezuela in December cost between about 646 dollars from Bogotá and 1,148 euros from Madrid, round trip. But the price doesn't stand still: on the same websites, one route almost doubles its fare from November to December. Whoever buys late finds out when the cheap seat is already sold. Which route jumps the most? We'll tell you further down.
In this guide you'll see the price from ten countries, what pushes fares up at Christmas and how to buy at a better price. The Vuelitos Editorial Team, which writes the blog of Vuelitos (the platform for booking flights to and from Venezuela), reviewed the fares published by Copa Airlines and TAP Air Portugal on 20 Oct 2026 to put it together.
One heads-up: the figures are "from" fares, meaning the lowest price the airline showed for those dates, not an average. Use them to know what's normal and what's expensive before you pay.
How Much Are Flights to Venezuela in December: Prices From 10 Countries
How much extra do you pay for leaving at Christmas instead of early November? A lot more than you'd think. In May 2026, Caracas had 41 weekly flights to Bogotá, 25 to Panama, 17 to Madrid and 14 to Miami, according to the airline association ALAV, reported by El Diario (12 May 2026). There's no official ranking of passengers by country, so we added six more cities with a large Venezuelan diaspora.
The cost of flying to Venezuela in December depends on your departure city and your exact dates. Published fares start at about 646 dollars from Bogotá and rise to 1,148 euros from Madrid. On the two routes we could compare, Christmas costs more than November.
| Country (departure city) | Round-trip fare | Travel dates | Source |
| Colombia (Bogotá) | 646 USD to Caracas | 25 Dec to 24 Feb | Copa Airlines |
| Panama (Panama City) | 579 USD to Caracas | November (no December fare published) | Copa Airlines |
| Spain (Madrid) | 1,148 EUR to Caracas | 20 Dec to 31 Jan | TAP Air Portugal |
| United States (Miami) | 698 USD to Caracas | 6 Nov to 30 Mar | Copa Airlines |
| Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) | 527 USD to Maracaibo | 26 Dec to 30 Jan | Copa Airlines |
| Mexico (Mexico City) | 867 USD to Valencia | 22 Dec to 21 Jan | Copa Airlines |
| Peru (Lima) | 781 USD to Caracas | 24 Nov to 29 Nov | Copa Airlines |
| Chile (Santiago) | 706 USD to Valencia | 19 Nov to 12 Dec | Copa Airlines |
| Argentina (Buenos Aires) | 854 USD to Caracas | 23 Nov to 27 Nov | Copa Airlines |
| Ecuador (Quito) | 708 USD to Caracas | November | Copa Airlines |
Honestly, the Madrid jump surprised us: TAP shows 560 euros for travel from 9 Nov to 17 Nov and 1,148 euros from 20 Dec to 31 Jan, 105% more. The travel windows aren't identical, but the message is clear. December fares to Venezuela already have Christmas built in.
Bogotá follows a similar pattern. Copa Airlines asks 365 dollars for 26 Oct to 2 Nov and 654 dollars for 19 Dec to 2 Jan (Bogotá to Maracaibo). That's 289 dollars, 79% more, gone just because of the date.
Cheap Christmas Flights to Venezuela: Bogotá, Panama, Miami and Santo Domingo
These four cities share short routes and several airlines competing. Copa Airlines operates two daily flights between Panama City and MaiquetÃa, and Avianca flies daily from Bogotá (Bloomberg LÃnea, 7 Oct 2026). American Airlines resumed its daily Miami to Caracas flight on 3 Sep 2026 with a Boeing 737 (Mercado, 4 Sep 2026).
Cheap Christmas flights to Venezuela leave from nearby cities, where several airlines compete. According to Copa Airlines, December fares from Bogotá, Miami and Santo Domingo run from 527 to 698 dollars round trip. They work as a guide if you're leaving from Colombia, the United States or the Dominican Republic.
Take a typical case (illustrative, not a real customer). Rafael lives in Panama City and is looking for a ticket to Caracas for the holidays. Copa shows 579 dollars in November, but to Valencia, about 160 km from Caracas, the same month costs 329. That's 250 dollars less with a short trip by road.
Santo Domingo works the same way. Copa asks 527 dollars to Maracaibo for 26 Dec to 30 Jan and 859 to Barquisimeto for 20 Dec to 25 Dec: a 332-dollar difference depending on where you land.
Christmas Flights to Caracas From Mexico, Quito, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Madrid
From the south of the continent and from Europe, a Christmas ticket to Caracas hides a detail almost nobody checks before paying: when it really goes up. From Mexico and South America, most itineraries connect through Panama City, and the nonstop LATAM flight from Santiago only starts on 3 Jan 2027 (Bloomberg LÃnea, 7 Oct 2026).
Christmas tickets to Caracas from Mexico and South America run between 580 and 870 dollars round trip, according to Copa Airlines and Momondo. Most connect through Panama City, so the trip takes more hours. From Madrid there is a nonstop flight, but the fare is quoted in euros.
Lima's fare already rises in November: Copa Airlines goes from 638 dollars (12 Nov to 21 Nov) to 781 (24 Nov to 29 Nov). Buenos Aires does the same, from 754 to 854 dollars between November windows. That's 143 and 100 extra dollars before December even starts. Our opinion: from the south, right now is when you buy.
From Madrid, TAP Air Portugal publishes 1,148 euros for 20 Dec to 31 Jan, against 560 for 9 Nov to 17 Nov. The Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Quito figures are from November: we found no published fares with December dates.
Flights to Venezuela in December: Final Price, Baggage and When to Buy
A "from" fare is rarely what you end up paying. Copa Airlines warns that extra baggage can raise the final price, and Avianca includes a 23 kg bag in its Classic and Flex fares (Skyscanner).
Buying flights to Venezuela in December works best 40 days ahead or more, according to Skyscanner for the Bogotá to Caracas route. To leave on 15 December, that means buying before 5 Nov. Check the total with baggage before you pay.
Our stance as the Vuelitos Editorial Team: if your date falls between 15 and 31 December, buy within the next two weeks. Waiting for a drop rarely works with flights that have only just resumed their routes. On Vuelitos you can search round trip or multi-city, sort by price and pay with Zelle, Pago Móvil or card.
Conclusion
Flights to Venezuela in December depend on your departure city: from 646 dollars in Bogotá to 1,148 euros in Madrid. Christmas makes a route like Madrid 105% more expensive than November. Looking at other destination airports, such as Valencia or Maracaibo, can save you up to 332 dollars from Santo Domingo. And buying 40 days ahead or more gives you the best window.
