Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from Guayaquil to Quito.

What is the typical flight duration from Guayaquil to Quito?

The flight from Guayaquil to Quito is about 175 miles. Nonstop service typically takes 51 minutes, with the return leg slightly longer at 53 minutes.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from Guayaquil to Quito?

Yes, Guayaquil to Quito has frequent nonstop service, flown by LATAM Airlines and Avianca, both operating daily. LATAM runs about 65 nonstop flights a week with departures spread from early morning through late evening, while Avianca offers roughly 51 weekly flights across the day. Together they provide well over 100 nonstop flights weekly between the two cities.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

What are the ground transportation options in Quito?

Ground transportation from Quito's Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) to the city center includes public bus, taxi, ride-sharing (Uber, Cabify, InDriver), private transfer, and car rental. Public bus is the cheapest at around US$2 and takes 60–90 minutes, while taxi, Uber, or a private pickup is the fastest at 40–60 minutes and costs roughly $20–25. Taxis from the two airport cooperatives operate 24 hours a day and are the most commonly used option for direct, reliable service to downtown. Ride-sharing via Uber is also widely available, and car rental desks for Sixt, Localiza, Budget, Europcar, and Enterprise sit in the arrivals hall for those wanting full autonomy. The airport is about 43 kilometers from the city's main tourist neighborhoods, so all options require a substantial drive.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Guayaquil to Quito?

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Guayaquil to Quito — there are no nonstop red-eyes on the route, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg either.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from Guayaquil to Quito?

LATAM Airlines and Avianca fly nonstop from Guayaquil to Quito, with LATAM operating 65 weekly flights and Avianca 51 weekly flights. Both airlines fly daily on this route, with departures spread throughout the day from early morning to late evening. Avianca is a Star Alliance member, while LATAM is not part of an alliance.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Quito?

Quito has one commercial airport, Mariscal Sucre International, located about 18 km east of downtown in Tababela. It serves all domestic and international flights, with regular connections to Guayaquil and onward destinations.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from Guayaquil to Quito?

On the Guayaquil to Quito route, LATAM Airlines operates the most flights, flying Airbus A319 aircraft. Avianca also flies nonstop between the two cities, using Airbus A320neo aircraft.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

Which airline alliances serve flights from Guayaquil to Quito?

On Guayaquil to Quito, the two carriers currently scheduled non-stop are Avianca and LATAM Airlines. Avianca belongs to Star Alliance, while LATAM is not a member of any alliance. Other alliances may still serve this route via connections.
