  • 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.

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

Latam may be the worst airline in the world, far worse than even the lowest of low cost airlines in the USA. I wasted hours trying to PAY THEM TO CHECK A BAG! Then they misled me at the terminal, sent me through the wrong security line, the list goes on and on... Just absolutely terrible in every way. Avoid at all costs.

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 flights were all delayed , mostly due to technical issues with AA aircrafts. I had to rebook my trip 4 times . I lost my whole day and finally arrived in LAX around midnight. This was a very bad experience with American airlines , I will always try to avoid flying with them

AA was fine....the overall experience was subpar, but not due to the airline due to broader issues

Delayed and WIFI was not working for most of flight.

The big challenge here was that the inbound flight was delayed, THEN, the aircraft was deemed in need of service, so we had to deplane after being a few minutes away from departure, THEN we had to switch terminals, where another plane in our gate had maintenance issues so we had to change gates again. I am a regular flyer (not on American) so I understand these things happen. The crew was great. The pilot in particular was gracious and understanding and stayed with the passengers the whole time to answer questions and give updates - that was impressive. But the flight was massively delayed as a result, and today I really wanted to be home in time. Sigh The flight was otherwise great.

I am Plstinum Pro snd was standby on earlier flight. They gave seats to people that asked rather than follow standby order. When realized what was happening was too late to get on as no seats left. My scheduled flight was late. Then filled the seat beside me Ruth rude person that they had to move from her original seat

My flight was delayed close to 10 times over the course of the evening. I was originally scheduled to depart at 7:03 PM but did not leave until 12:33 AM, resulting in over 9 hours spent waiting at the airport. The only explanation provided was that the aircraft kept being swapped, with no clear reasoning as to why. Weather conditions at both DCA and Tampa were clear, so that was not a factor. The only accommodation offered was a $12 food voucher, which was entirely insufficient given the length of the delay. Overall, I was completely unsatisfied with this experience. A delay of this magnitude with no meaningful communication or accommodations is unacceptable, and I would have expected much more from American Airlines in terms of customer care.

No ground air conditioner for the plane. Very hot and humid prior to take off which was an uncomfortable period of time.

Check-in process was poor, very poor, only one person to check-in all passengers, so if one passenger had a check-in issue, all other passengers were delayed. All check-ins should have two airline staff to check-in passengers.

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.

My original flight was cancelled. My replacement flight was delayed over 2 hours. I lost my whole day in NY

Delays were crazy long (over an hour) both for boarding and baggage claim

awful expereince. boarding was a mess and not communicated, then we sat on a hot plane and were at risk of getting kicked off

2 hour delay and a lack of air conditioning on the plane. Not a good combination

Fabulous! This was the first time we've flown with JetBlue and the entire experience was flawless!

First time flying JetBlue and my perception changed. Love it.

Poor, had a 5+ hours delay. Kept sitting in the aircraft with three kids. It was terrible

The plane was filthy and worn - the seat pockets were stuffed with tattered food and torn pamphlets. The cleaning crew that came on as we were deboarding were grabbing handfulls of trash and perfunctorily wiping down tables with dishrags. It's been a while since I flew Jetblue and it used to be a great experience. After this flight I will avoid flying Jetblue again if there is any alternative.

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

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

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.
