  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Ecuador flight deals.
  • When you’re booking your flight to Ecuador, you’ll have several different arrival points to choose from. The two main international airports in Ecuador are José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE) in Guayaquil and Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) in the country’s capital city of Quito. Flights from the US are also available to arrive in smaller airports after stopping through either Quito or Guayaquil.
  • When you visit Ecuador, you won’t have to worry about dealing with exchange rates. Ecuador’s main currency is the US dollar, which saves American tourists the hassle of obtaining another currency. American debit and credit cards are widely accepted throughout the bigger cities, but it is wise to have cash on hand if you’ll be exploring small towns and remote areas.
  • For those looking to save money on transportation, getting around Ecuador can be easily accomplished by using the dense network of local and regional buses. Quito and Guayaquil have bus systems that can take you throughout the entire city, and longer-distance buses can take you to other parts of the country and up into the Andes Mountains.
  • Train travel is another option for tourists in Ecuador, as the railway system is largely geared towards taking visitors on day trips. If, like many visiting Ecuador, you fly into Quito, you can take a popular day trip via train from Quito to the Area Nacional de Recreación El Boliche.
  • If you’re traveling throughout the Galapagos Islands, there are few options for getting around without booking flights to the small, domestic airports on some of the larger islands. Multi-island tours are available to book; or, if you’re more of an independent traveler, you can take a ferry between islands.
  • Ecuador has two main airports: Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), located in the country's capital, Quito, and Guayaquil's José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE). UIO is the largest in the country and receives direct flights from Atlanta (ATL) and Miami (MIA), while GYE serves Miami and New York (JFK).
  • Mariscal Sucre International Airport, about 11 miles east of Quito, is the largest hub for LATAM Ecuador and Avianca Ecuador. For connections to other regions in Ecuador from UIO, consider flying Avianca or LATAM airline flights.
  • When flying into Ecuador from the U.S., expect to land in either of these two major airports. If you need to access other parts of the country, you can fly into the other smaller airports after stopping at the main airports.
  • Seymour Galapagos Ecological Airport (GPS) in Ecuador is the first airport globally to be environmentally sustainable. The airport draws its energy from the wind and the sun. You can visit the airport when touring Ecuador.
  • If you plan to spend ample time on Ecuador's coast to the south in places like Loja and Cuenca, consider flying into the Guayaquil airport, GYE, which connects to southern Ecuador.

It is not a good experience with Copa Airlines: flight delay, luggage delay, etc.

Bad. Sits didn´t match from boarding pass versus real confoguration on the plane. Copa people order to put hand baggage on checked baggage even when we do not wanted

We where skipped for this flight will not head to Panama until tonight..

There should be a warning regarding the quality of the aircraft on the website as we reserve the tickets. There was no TV or any type of screen onboard. The wifi they offer is good for nothing. Traveling 9 hours straight with kids and no type of entetainment was horrible. I wish I had been informed prior so I could buy a ticket with another airline. The food was a joke too. A very tiny portion per passenger. They also charged $100 per checked bag. With United I used to pay $60. So, fair to say that I wont be flying Copa anymore. Their aircraft was super old, outdated, no entertainment, with nearly no onboard food.

Very strict carry on rules meant most of the plane had to gate check their luggage. As is often the case had things that were broken because of this, but I appreciated not being charged to gate check. Otherwise good flight and great crew once on the plane

I liked the meatloaf the chicken was awful but the plane was on time and got there and the staff was nice.

Boarding was quick & efficient; they gave boarding groups due priority; staff & air crew were very cordial and helpful, pleasant flight.

Very happy with my flight. I would definitely recommend it.

Did upgrade, travel in business it was great (more room I could sleep)

Copa is one of the airlines with the best prices and super good service.

Abysmal overall. Delayed flight caused me to get in with an only 9 minute connection. No help from flight attendants or gate agents to try to make the connection. Second flight left 5 minutes early despite not having at least 10 people on it, including me. Rebooked 24 hours later. I asked four separate delta agents how to ensure my bag would get on the rebooked flight and all assured me it would be there. Landing in Rio right now, 24 hours late, and just got an alert that my bag didn’t make it. Horrible overall experience.

4 hour delay. So our flight schedule mass up. Your worker told me you should rebooking myself. I was very angry. Latam Airline always get the money more through any way. But They have no concern passenger.

Honestly first time flying with delta and it was pretty good. All the process very smooth and crew was always nice and attentive.

Deleted flight made me loose my connection flight now stuck in Atlanta for a day

Apart of Sky miles delta. And they go everywhere in Brazil

We traveled with two young children, and it was not possible for our family to be seated together. No one offered help or assistance to organize seating so we could sit with our kids. In the end, we managed to find two seats in Economy so I could at least sit with one of them, even though I had originally paid for Comfort+. In summary, I had to downgrade my seat just to be able to sit with one of my children, which was very disappointing

I booked a flight through Kayak to Brazil I have traveled to Brazil several times before Kayak Delta or LATAM never mentioned during the booking or in the pre flight process that the visa requirements to visit Brazil have changed earlier this year. I was unaware of this change and as such never got a visa and was unable to fly from JFK to Sao Paulo Add to this that Delta allowed me to fly from Boston to JFK which they should not have as I didn’t have a visa. It has been a terrible experience and a huge loss of money

It was good, however the airplane was really cold. We received snacks and the crew was friendly.

Hostile flight attendants. Second flight with Jose so much better. Arrived 1/2 hour early. Thanks.

Tough flight with turbulence… I was told by a fellow passenger that it is common. Nonetheless, very stressful. Cordial staff.

My overall experience with JetBlue was pretty poor and disappointing. We originally booked a DIRECT flight home from Boston on 9/28 at 8:00pm even though it cost more than the non direct flights. With no reason other than "unforeseen circumstances", our flight home Monday was cancelled and we were rebooked on a 7:00am flight on 9/29 with a layover in JFK. We were traveling with sick kids coming home from a funeral of a loved one and needed to be at work on Tuesday so paying extra for a flight home Monday was something we had to do. The original direct flights were considerably more expensive than the non direct flights- so I don't understand how Jetblue did absolutely NOTHING to compensate or right their mistake. We will not be booking with them in the future because they are not reliable and they showed no remorse nor did they make any attempt to make things right. The least they could have done was credit the difference in cost of flight because I know our original flights cost more than the one we were rebooked on. Once again- we will not be flying with them in the future and will advise family and friends to be aware of the risk you run when giving them your business. Do better.

The flight attendant was snarky and the flight took off very late. I know it was an issue with air traffic control and the runways in Boston, so not really anyone's fault, but very frustrating, I missed an important meeting because of rgr delay. They didn't offer headphones to watch the TV, but luckily I remembered my own and was able to enjoy watching a movie.

Terrible. We originally booked a direct flight from BOS to MCO on 9/28 at 8:00pm and it was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and the flight we were rebooked on was on 9/29 at 7:00am with a layover in JFK. We were traveling with sick kids so leaving at such an early hour was absolutely miserable, and on top of that we all missed work which we couldn’t afford. On top of that- we paid a fortune for our flights to be direct without a layover and the flights with layovers were cheaper so at the very minimum we should have been refunded the difference. With absolutely no explanation or sympathy from JetBlue- we will avoid using them in the future due to the fact they aren’t reliable nor do they correct their mistakes.

Experience with JetBlue was poor. We were originally suppose to fly home on a direct flight on Monday the 28th at 8:00pm and we it was canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances” and we were rebooked on a 7am flight on Tuesday the 29th with a layover in JFK. Traveling with sick kids and waking up at an ungodly hour was miserable, and not only that it caused all of us to miss work. We intentionally flew our Monday on a direct flight and the direct flight was far more than the non direct flights on any given day. There was no compensation provided let alone a reasonable explanation. When you are charging people those type of prices for domestic same coast flights- you should be at least refunding the cost difference of the flights if you are rebooking them on a cheaper flight. I will never fly JetBlue again because they are unreliable and don’t correct their mistakes.

Wasn’t very happy with our flight home due to the fact it was cancelled with absolutely no reason. It was a direct flight at 8:00pm on Monday and they rebooked us for a 7am flight on Tuesday with a layover. Traveling with sick kids, getting up that early was miserable and on top of that we all missed a day of work that we couldn’t afford to with absolutely no apology or compensation from JetBlue. The original cost of the flights were astronomical because we flew out on Monday over Tuesday and also we paid extra for the direct flight then we would have for the flight with a layover. Super disappointed Jetblue truly could have cared less. Will avoid them in the future due to the fact they aren’t reliable nor compassionate for the inconvenience these changes cost their clients.

No WiFi, no power to charge phone, confusing boarding, delays

There is a considerable amount of people that use the wheel chair pre boarding along of large groups of family / friends. This is not right should be limited only to the person in need and the airline assistant. Some of these people use overhead bins that do not belong to them. The aircraft had a non functional wifi . The service was bad.

Flight was delayed 3 hours. No food on plane besides snacks

Not a pleasant experience, service was poor. Didn't like it

Need a 2nd round of water for a 4+ hour flight

First no airplane at the gate because the previous flight was canceled (and they didn't know?) Then we board and there's a maintenance issue. Then we're told the technician doesnt have the right certification and they need to call another. Then FINALLY we are taxiing. But wait! Flight plans expire after 3 hours and we were not granted permission to take off. So taxi was halted while a new flight plan was filed. Then....no beverage service. Never flying American Airlines again. If they mess up operations this much, how good can their maintenance or training possibly be?

First class snacks - stewardess gave out multiples to everyone until there was almost no selection left when she got back to me last in first class cabin. Nothing left that I would eat.

Uncomfortable, not managing boarding process and managing people in the way waiting to board at a later time. Terrible delays

Nothing went well. The crew timed out, they sent us to 7 different gates, my original flight got delayed 8.5 hours, and the best American could do was give us a $12 food credit.

Another American Airlines flight, another significant delay. At least this one wasn't canceled like many others have been. This time we sat on the runway at LaGuardia for 2.5 hours. By my count that is 7 American flights the last three months that have been delayed 2 hours or more or canceled entirely.

My boarding pass said gate E5. I arrived at gate E5 by 12:45pm. At 2:10pm, I received a phone call stating I was supposed to be at gate D37. They would not wait for me to get there (by the way, the plane was still there when I got to gate D37, but everything was closed and no one was at the door). The next flight at 7:40pm was sold out; was told I'd be put on the 9:47pm flight. I was so stressed, I became chokey (apparently I have mild asthma). By the grace of God, a lot of begging, and the customer service rep taking pity on me, I was able to get on a 4:50pm flight to Philadelphia.

Staff announced flight was delayed. Then after passengers took the extra time to get food etc, announced it was on time. Not enough overhead space for a full flight Seats were super small and crammed. Crew welcomed us aboard to another "on time gate departure” only to sit on the tarmac for two hours. They made 2 announcements as to why that no one could understand. NO ENTERTAINMENT- food was a bag of old pretzrks. After landing, sat on the tarmac for another 20 minutes “looking for a parking spot”. I never fly American due to past poor performance. I had to that day due to departure time. American never fails to disappoint.

Delayed 4 hours which is out of control the airlines BUT what IS in control is their service. After 4 hours delay, they charged me for a beverage on the flight - completely unacceptable. Then I woke up a $12 beverage coupon AFTER I get home - that I can't use. This was HORRIBLE customer experience. I fly weekly and have a choice and will not choose American again if not credited for this flight and/or awarded miles. This was a poor experience.

Absolutely terrible. They boarded the plane, supposedly realized they didn't refuel the plane or load the luggage so we sat as the gate inside the plane for over 2 hours while they supposedly did things that should have been done before having passengers board the planem

For a 4 1/2 hour international flight all we got was 1 small pack of cookies and a drink. You had to watch movies on your own devise.

We had to purchase an upgrade to get reclining seats. There was no entertainment module.

As previously experienced neither check in staff nor cabin crew were friendly or welcoming

The seats were the worst I have ever flown Too narrow, did not recline and the actual seat was hard as a rock. I will tell all travelers to stay away from Avianca flights.

We waited for one hour to deboard the plane after landing. That could be better

Not even water is offered on the flight. You cannot lean back on the seats and the seats are so narrow you can’t avoid rubbing elbows with the person next to you.

I couldnt recline the seat. Other than that crew was very attentive and helpful. Thsnk you

Charging for WATER on a SIX hour flight in repugnant. Enough said!

Worst in 25 years. A 10 hours flight from Buenos Aires to Costa Rica and no free food! Then the food available for purchase was sold out in 5 minutes. I was travelling with two kids and wasn't ready to keep them happy with chips and cookies for such a long time. Avianca doesn't make sure that minors sit next to an adult so I was forced to pay 65 USD for each seat in a so called premium seat whic is exactly the same as the economy free seats. Never again with Avianca.

Avianca flights to Galapagos and back and well organized and on time.

This is the Spirit of Latino travel. And don’t even get me started on customer service.
