Flights from Quito to Guayaquil
Connecting Ecuador's two largest cities across just 270 kilometres of Andean geography, this short-hop route clocks in at roughly 49 minutes block time and functions as one of the country's busiest domestic corridors. LATAM and Avianca dominate day-to-day frequency, typically deploying narrow-body Airbus A319s and A320s, while TAME historically served the route before its suspension; several international carriers including American, Iberia, KLM, and Air France also track the pairing as a connecting segment within their South American networks. A practical note worth knowing: Quito's Mariscal Sucre Airport sits well outside the city centre, so budget at least 45–60 minutes for the transfer into town, whereas Guayaquil's José Joaquín de Olmedo Airport is considerably more central. Fares on this competitive corridor tend to soften midweek, and booking a few weeks out during the quieter May–June shoulder period often yields the most flexibility for last-minute itinerary changes.
