- with the card to obtain the Andean card.

If you do not make the immigration entry and seek to take a domestic flight or international will not allow you to board the flight, since technically you are illegal in said country.
It must be taken into account that users reported that this control is not always carried out on Ecuadorians at border airports when boarding a domestic flight, but in the event that control is given and you do not have a record of entering any of the neighboring countries and not finding yourself legal, the police will deny your boarding and you will have to return.
Even more, If your idea is to take an international flight from Bogota, Medellin, Cali O Lima, Yes or yes you must have made border migration (process that takes about 30 minutes) opposite case, not having a registered legal income, your boarding will be denied and you could face other legal consequences for illegally staying in a country.

Does anyone know if there are problems when you have an impediment due to food demands to leave by land and take a flight in Lima Peru ?
To take flight in Peru, you must carry out migration in the migratory passage by land, so at that time, you could not leave the country if you have that impediment.
Amigo, I want to travel from Medellín to Guayaquil, buying a direct flight, I could take it without any problem even though I crossed the border directly without migrating.
I only have my Ecuadorian identity card?
And if I take a domestic flight from Medellín to Pasto, I could only present my ID? there in Medellín the police seal the checkin?
presenting the ID they only stamp the checkin?
For international flight you must make migration at the border crossing.
Good information, I traveled this way to Medellín last year, as an informative data to complement, At the Pasto airport you must take the printed check-in yes or yes, or print it right there at a stationery store inside the airport, since you have to go up to the second floor of the airport to a police office so that they can check that you have entered the country legally and they stamp the check-in sheet, once with this you can go to the security area without any problem to later take your flight.
Thanks Gallo, it cannot be displayed digitally as it is normally done if it were to be flown from Quito?
It can't be done, I had it digitally but they made me print it, because you need the police to put a stamp on the printed check-in so that the security filter will let you through, but this is only for the outbound flight, and to any other flight within Colombia or back to Pasto, it is not necessary to have the printed check-in.
I imagine the same system is implemented at the Ipiales airport, much more now that Avianca will start operating the route to and from Bogotá at the end of March.
very good data, Thank you!
The article is very interesting. Last year I traveled like this to Bs As, the passage due to the restrictions in Argentina did not drop below 1400 So I went to Huaquillas by bus, from there I crossed to Tumbes and took a plane to Lima, I got about 50 dollars and then to Aeroparque on the return from Lima to Tumbes crossing again to Ecuador where an executive combi 16$ He left me in Guayaquil in 3 hours and from there by plane to Quito everything worked out for me 400.
Regarding Colombia, it takes 5 hours by bus, but you no longer have to go to Pasto, which is 2:30 hours from the border. . Since April, Avianca begins to fly directly to Ipiales and sometimes flights to 22$ a Bogota.
Another important fact is that the cup will fly to Manta and the rates are much lower than in Quito and Guayaquil is also another good option..
I hope that the Cotopaxi Airport will also join since there is interest from jetsmart
Very good information William.! valuable
