Venezuela Carnival flight prices run from about USD 350 to USD 1,900 round trip, depending on where you fly from. Bogotá, Panama City and Santo Domingo are cheaper; Miami, Madrid and Istanbul cost more. These are estimates based on October 2026 fares, because no prices have been published yet for February 8 and 9, 2027.
If you're searching for Venezuela Carnival flight prices, the short answer is this: between USD 350 and USD 1,900 round trip, depending on where you fly from. A ticket from Bogotá can cost half as much as one from Madrid, and both land at the same airport. So how do you budget when nobody has published the fare for February 8 and 9 yet?
In this guide you'll find the estimated price from 10 countries, the right moment to buy and what to check so you pay less. We're the Vuelitos Editorial Team, the team that tracks air routes to Venezuela at Vuelitos, and we built this comparison from October 2026 fares on Momondo, Motum and the airlines themselves, with a source and date for every figure. There's one detail almost nobody checks before buying, and it explains why the same ticket can cost twice as much depending on the city. We reveal it in the first section.
Carnival Season Ticket Prices Venezuela: What You'll Pay by Country of Origin
Venezuela operated 178 international flights per week in September and October 2026, up from 103 a year earlier, according to the airline association ALAV as cited by El Nacional. Bogotá has 22 weekly frequencies, Miami 21, Madrid 18 and Panama 14. That's the detail we teased in the intro: where there are more frequencies and more airlines competing, there are more fares to compare. We sorted the table by frequencies rather than passengers, because nobody publishes that ranking.
Carnival season ticket prices in Venezuela depend on where you start. Short routes from Bogotá, Panama City and Santo Domingo start at around USD 350 in our estimate. Long routes from Miami, Madrid and Istanbul run above USD 850. In 2027, Carnival falls on Monday, February 8 and Tuesday, February 9.
The Vuelitos Editorial Team built the Carnival column from October 2026 fares plus a peak-season surcharge. That surcharge is our own assumption, not a published figure, which is why the column is labeled "estimate". This table sums up Venezuela Carnival flight prices, country by country:
| Country (city) | Frequencies and airlines | Oct 2026 reference (round trip) | Carnival estimate | Source |
| Colombia (Bogotá) | 22 per week: Avianca, LATAM, Wingo, Avior, Laser | USD 225 (Laser) to USD 586 (LATAM) | USD 350 to 900 | Motum, 21/09/2026 |
| United States (Miami) | 21 per week: American, Laser | USD 689 to 990 | USD 850 to 1,300 | Momondo, 19/10/2026 |
| Spain (Madrid) | 18 per week: Air Europa, Iberia, Plus Ultra, Laser, Estelar | USD 783 to 982 | USD 850 to 1,300 | Momondo, 19/10/2026 |
| Panama (Panama City) | 14 per week: Copa, with two daily flights | From USD 495 | USD 550 to 850 | Momondo, 19/10/2026 |
| Turkey (Istanbul) | Turkish Airlines, route announced from 01/10/2026 | From USD 1,373.90 | USD 1,400 to 1,900 | Motum, 16/09/2026 |
| Dominican Republic (Santo Domingo) | Laser, 2 per week | From USD 397 (launch fare, March 2026) | USD 450 to 700 | Motum, 2026 |
| Brazil (São Paulo) | GOL, 3 per week | No verified fare | USD 600 to 1,100 (low confidence) | Own estimate |
| Mexico (Mexico City, Santa LucÃa) | Conviasa, 1 per week | USD 450 to 658 (June 2026) | USD 550 to 1,000 | Motum and Dviaje, 2026 |
| Chile (Santiago) | LATAM, 4 per week from 03/01/2027 | No fare published yet | To be confirmed | The Clinic, 06/10/2026 |
| Aruba | Laser, Thursdays and Sundays from 03/12/2026 | From USD 350 (announced fare) | USD 400 to 600 | El EstÃmulo, 15/10/2026 |
Two notes before you use the table. The Bogotá prices Motum cites are for the Caracas-Bogotá direction, so confirm the fare with Bogotá as the origin. And the Istanbul route is announced, but we found no confirmation that it's already operating.
Now the detail we promised: Madrid has five airlines competing, and Bogotá is about two hours from Caracas. Distance and competition explain most of the gap. Honestly, that surprised us too. Miami and Madrid, for example, have an almost identical range in October 2026 (USD 689 to 990 and USD 783 to 982), so there you're better off choosing by schedule and baggage, not by country. If you're flying from Chile, 2027 brings good news: LATAM brings back the direct Santiago-Caracas flight on January 3, 2027, according to The Clinic.

Cheap Flights Venezuela Carnival: When to Buy and What to Expect at MaiquetÃa
What if the ticket you see today is gone by the time you finally decide? With cheap flights for Venezuela Carnival, it happens more than you'd think. Carnival Monday and Tuesday, February 8 and 9, 2027, are national holidays, and everyone wants to travel on those same days.
Cheap flights for Venezuela Carnival are best bought between 11 and 26 weeks before departure, according to Kayak. For February 8, 2027, that window closes around November 23, 2026. After that, with fewer seats at MaiquetÃa, fares will probably rise.
Today, October 20, there are about 16 weeks to go until Carnival: you're inside the window.
There's one more reason not to wait. MaiquetÃa airport reopened on September 1, 2026 in temporary terminals, with about a third of its usual international volume, according to El Diario. The Ministry of Transport expects to recover around 60% in 2027, according to El Nacional. Fewer seats for the same demand is a recipe for high fares in peak weeks; that's our reading, not a published figure.
Departure day also moves the price. According to Momondo (19/10/2026), the cheapest day to leave is Tuesday from Miami, Friday from Madrid and Sunday from Panama. Imagine Andrés, who lives in Madrid and wants to watch his niece parade in Valencia. He looks at a ticket in October, puts it off until after mid-December and finds the Friday departure sold out. He ends up flying on a Sunday, exactly the day Momondo flags as the most expensive on that route: about USD 1,060.
Our position: if you already know you're traveling for Carnival, buy before November 23. Holding out for a last-minute deal on peak dates is a bet against the calendar, and last-minute fares rarely reward anyone who bets. One more thing: February shows up as the cheapest month on the Madrid-Caracas route, with a USD 765 average according to Momondo, but that average hides the spike on the 8th and 9th. Treat it as a monthly average, not a Carnival price.
Venezuela Carnival Flight Prices: How to Pay Less
Paying less isn't only about comparing fares, it's about seeing what each one includes. A cheap ticket feels great until you discover it doesn't come with a bag.
Paying less for Carnival means comparing the final price, not just the base fare. Add up baggage, fees and change conditions. Then test nearby dates and alternative airports. It works best with a day or two of flexibility, especially from Miami, Madrid and Panama.
Here's something almost nobody looks at: the included bag changes the comparison. Motum records 23 kg checked on Laser, Wingo, Avior, Avianca and LATAM fares on the Bogotá-Caracas route, and Turkish Airlines' ExtraFly fare also includes 23 kg. Departure fees work the same way: the last detailed table we found dates from 2022, with values between USD 29.73 and USD 72.04 according to Informe Aéreo, so confirm the current figure before paying. Also check your passport's validity at saime.gob.ve.
These are the three moves we recommend making at Vuelitos:
- Compare with Multi City. Combine origin and destination in a single itinerary and check whether entering through another Venezuelan airport costs less.
- Open Smart Flight Combinations. These are itineraries that mix airlines and can save you money compared with a single fare.
- Pay the way that suits you. Zelle, Pago Móvil, Visa, Mastercard and Apple Pay are available, and with Vuelitos Rewards your friend gets USD 15 off their first flight.
All of this fits inside the Vuelitos Flights Venezuela app, available on iOS and Android.
Conclusion
Venezuela Carnival flight prices depend on three things: your departure city, when you buy and what the fare includes. From Bogotá, Panama City and Santo Domingo you'll find the cheapest options, and from Miami and Madrid you need to compare more carefully. The window to buy without pressure closes around November 23, so right now you're still in time.
