Buy Starblue Airlines Flights with Alternative Airlines
Starblue Airlines is a Colombian startup airline that plans to fly both domestic and international scheduled passenger flights. The airline's main base is at Palonegro International Airport (BGA), Bucaramanga, but it will also fly many flights from Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport (CLO), Cali as well. The airline plans to fly a mix of domestic flights, as well as international flights to other countries in South America, including Ecuador, Peru, Chile and Panama.
Starblue hasn't got a launch date as of yet. When it does launch, it will fly six different domestic routes across Colombia — with 3 departing from Bucaramanga and 3 departing from Cali. Although international flights are definitely in its plans, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the airline expects to launch international flights at some point after it launches domestic flights.
At this time, Starblue hasn't been approved to fly any of its proposed routes and is awaiting confirmation from the Colombian Civil Aviation Authorities.
Baggage Policy
The official baggage allowance for Starblue Airlines is unknown at this time. Please check back once the airline is launched and baggage allowances have been confirmed.
The airline is likely to operate as a low-cost airline, which means it'll most likely offer free carry-on baggage but no checked baggage included within the price of the ticket of its most basic fare.
Checked baggage will either have to be purchased as an add-on to the flight. Or, Starblue Airlines might offer a more expensive fare that includes a checked baggage allowance plus any other extras.
Cabin Classes
It's unconfirmed at this time what the set-up of the cabin(s) will be on Starblue Airlines at this time.
