Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from New York City to Cuenca.

What is the typical flight duration from New York City to Cuenca?

Flights from New York City to Cuenca cover about 3,030 miles, but there is no nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.
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 New York City to Cuenca?

There are no non-stop flights from New York City to Cuenca. The shortest connecting routing is on Avianca via Quito, taking 10 hours 55 minutes in total — a 6-hour 20-minute first leg, a 3-hour 35-minute layover, and a 1-hour final leg. LATAM Airlines also offers a one-stop connection via Guayaquil, though it takes about 15 hours 24 minutes.
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 Cuenca?

From Mariscal Lamar International Airport, taxis are the fastest and most-used option, with a ride to the city center costing around $3 and taking just minutes given the airport is only about 1.6 km northeast of downtown. The Cuenca Tramway's Line 1 serves the airport via the on-site Aeropuerto station, running six trains per hour in each direction on weekdays off-peak, providing a modern and affordable mass transit link. City bus lines also connect the airport to downtown, and ride-hailing apps Uber and InDriver operate in Cuenca, with airport bus services available to main areas. Car rentals are available at the airport, and on-site parking includes 140 spaces at $2 per hour or $16 per day.
References

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from New York City to Cuenca?

There is no nonstop red-eye from New York City to Cuenca, but overnight one-stop itineraries do operate, with the long leg departing JFK in the early hours. Avianca departs JFK at 1:15 AM, landing in Quito at 6:35 AM before connecting onward, and LATAM departs JFK at 1:34 AM, landing in Guayaquil at 7:14 AM before its connection.
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 New York City to Cuenca?

There is no nonstop service between New York City and Cuenca, Ecuador. Avianca operates the quickest one-stop routing via Quito, with a total trip time around 10 hours 55 minutes, and LATAM Airlines offers a connection via Guayaquil at roughly 15 hours 24 minutes. 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 Cuenca?

Cuenca has one commercial airport, Mariscal Lamar International Airport, located about 3 km from the city centre. It serves domestic flights primarily to Quito and Guayaquil, with connections for international travel.

How do I get to John F Kennedy Intl Airport from the city center?

Getting from Manhattan to JFK is straightforward via several options. The AirTrain is the fastest public transit link, connecting from Jamaica or Howard Beach stations to all terminals, and it's also the most popular choice for budget-conscious travelers. Taxis offer a flat fare of $70 plus tolls and fees to Manhattan, while ride-share services like Uber provide door-to-door convenience at a variable cost. Driving and parking are available but are generally the most expensive and least convenient for city-center departures.

References

What aircraft are typically used on flights from New York City to Cuenca?

There is no nonstop service from New York City to Cuenca. Connecting flights are operated by Avianca via Quito, using Airbus A320neo aircraft on the long leg and Airbus A320neo or Airbus A320 on the short leg, and by LATAM via Guayaquil, using an Airbus A320 on the long leg and an Airbus A319 on the short leg.
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 New York City to Cuenca?

There is no nonstop service from New York City to Cuenca, and the connecting flights are currently flown by Avianca via Quito and LATAM Airlines via Guayaquil. Avianca belongs to Star Alliance, while LATAM is not a member of any alliance. Other alliances may reach Cuenca through connections, but these are the carriers actually operating the route right now.
