Equador Flights
Equador flights are
almost never on special offer, especially not for long-haul flights of
over a month. There are so few airlines
which fly to Equador that they seem to have no need to offer discount
flights. The airline websites themselves sometimes offer
prices just as good as anything you will get in a discount bucket shop
or price comparison site, so check them first when searching for
flights. You have the choice of flying to either Quito or
Guayaquil international airports so you can see if one is cheaper than
the other.
Airlines flying to
Equador from Europe include KLM and Iberia. From or via the
United States, you may find flights with LAN Chile, American Airlines
and Delta. Aerogal, an Equadorian airline
which also flies to the Galapagos Islands,
recently started flights from Miami to Guayaquil that can be good
value.
For the best flight
prices to Equador, shop around both on internet flight
websites and with travel agents. Be flexible
with flight dates and go for less than 30 days for the best
chance of a good deal on flights. Try cheap flight search
engines such as Travelosity, Expidia, etc., and experiment with
different dates and days of the week to find the cheapest Equador
airfare available on flight price comparison sites. Also ask
a reputable travel agent or tour operator if they can put together an
Equador package for you because you might get a discount for booking a
package deal including both accommodation and flights.
Equador flight discounts
are most likely for groups of ten people or more. A group of
friends or volunteers, or two or three families travelling together,
might be able to take advantage of special offers on group bookings -
ask your travel agent what discounts they can offer.
Volunteer agencies might be able to get a package or
flight discount for groups on volunteer
projects in Equador.
Galapagos Flights
Discount Galapagos flights are highly unlikely, because the price for
foreigners is regulated by the government of Equador. Also
you can only fly into the islands, it is forbidden to travel by cargo
boat so you are stuck with a flight to one of the two Galapagos
airports.
So tourists are a captive market with no competition to
reduce flight prices. However, you may get a Galapagos hotel
or cruise discount by booking a package including flights to the
islands, especially if your flights to and from Equador are part of the
package deal as well. Group tours are another way to find
cheaper flight prices, one group member may get a free flight if there
are sufficient numbers in the group, or you might all get a group
discount.
Within mainland Equador,
there is an extensive and efficient bus
service which is a more economic way to travel than domestic
flights.
