FAQs - booking Ecuador flights

  • What is the best way to travel to Ecuador from Vancouver?

    Some of the most convenient travel choices for this trip are two-stop flights aboard either Avianca or United Airlines that travel from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Mariscal Sucre Quito International Airport (UIO) with layovers at airports such as San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

  • I want to visit the Galapagos Islands. Where should I fly into?

    The Galapagos Islands are approximately 1000 km off the coast of South America, and flights to the islands are restricted due to their status as a protected National Park. There are no international flights to the islands, so your best option is to catch a connecting flight either from Mariscal Sucre Airport Quito or Jose Joaquin de Olmedo Airport Guayaquila. Two airports are located on the Galapagos Islands, Seymour Airport (GPS) on Baltra Island and San Cristobal Airport (SCY).

  • Do I need a visa to travel to Ecuador?

    Canadian passport holders who are planning to visit Ecuador do not need a visa if their stay does not exceed 90 days. Upon arrival, you have to present a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond your expected date of departure from Ecuador.

Flights from carriers such as Aeromexico, Avianca and CopaAirlines have a layover in their respective hubs, while United and American Airlines offer flights to Ecuador with a layover at a major American airport, such as Houston George Bush Airport (IAH).

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Ecuador

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Ecuador flight deals.
  • One of the quickest ways to travel to Ecuador from Canada is to travel aboard one of the one-stop flights aboard Avianca that travel from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (GYE).
  • If you plan on taking your kids with you to Ecuador, it is important to know that there are no specific child seat laws in this country except for the fact that all children 12 years old and younger need to be in some form of child restraint. It is also forbidden for any child 12 or younger to travel in the front seat of a vehicle, but child restraints are not a requirement when travelling in a taxi.
  • If you plan on renting a car when you arrive at an airport in Ecuador, most major rental car companies here will expect you to be at least 21 years old to rent a car, you will need to have a valid driver's license from your country of origin, and most companies will expect you to have a major credit card.

  • Travellers should be aware that the official currency in Ecuador is the US dollar. While it is possible to exchange money in Ecuador, it might be more convenient or advantageous to exchange money prior to your departure.
  • ATMs are widely available in Ecuador and in the Galapagos Islands, so you can easily withdraw cash after your arrival. While Ecuador is predominantly a cash-based society, high-end hotels and resorts also accept credit cards.
  • If you want to get to surf destinations, such as Montanita on the coast of Ecuador, consider flying into Jose Joaquin de Olmedo Airport Guayaquil (GYE), which is approximately 2h by car, or 2h 30min by bus, from the famous beaches.

Airline reviews

Very long delay but we just made the connection. The requested wheel chairs were not there so I had to assist/carry BOTH of my parents to the gate while carrying their bags so we could make the connection. The plane had no entertainment system and NO WIFI, legroom zero. Restrooms on ALL of flights were dirty and one restroom did not even work properly. I was surprised to see COPA like this since my flight with them in 2013 was incredible, the seats were amazing and the food options were spectacular. Of course, I see this kind of service on many airlines now, with services and hospitality at an all time low. The worse part of the trip was seeing my 90 year old parents go through hell on these flights and having to try and rush to a gate to make the next flight. Never again

Copa is one of the airlines with the best prices and super good service.

I was supposed to have a lay flat seat but they switched planes and there was only a chair

Food was not good, no options for vegetarian or gluten free

landed in panama it was in terminal one. We had to take a bus to terminal two for customs. Then back to terminal one. It was very frustrating. Then, on the way back from panama it was the same situation. We had to go back and forth between terminals to check in and drop our bags and then to board. When we were leaving, we had to wait in line for the boarding area and go through another gate security process. They told the bottles of water and coffee were bought while in line in the airport after we passed the main security. Ridiculous (and expensive). A much better communication system is needed.

Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.

Copa me elige como "voluntario" para cambiarme y poder enviar a una familia a la cual había sobrevendido los tiquetes. Finalmente me envían a las carreras con Avianca, pero Copa lleva mis maletas hasta Panama y luego las devuelve a mi aeropuerto de origen, dejandome sin mis pertenencias y además no asumen la responsabilidad ya que dicen que es problema de Avianca Literalmente vi cuando el avión de Copa se lleva mis maletas, sus funcionarios en Bogota, incluyendo la gerente local me aseguran la entrega en Miami, pero simplemente era para poder engañarme y dar el cambio de silla por sobreventa

As usual, the flight with normal legroom was not very comfortable, but the second flight was much better because we had paid for extra legroom. It was very nice to check our bags without an extra fee.

other than a slight delay in takeoff from Panama , the flights were excellent ..... we will continue to use Copa whenever possible for flights to and from Central and South America ....

la atencion en el avion fue excelente, la facilidad del checkin es muy buena.

The crew was amazing. The best in the last times. Great group of people.

Check-in was a total disaster, almos a full hour in the line

Just some cookies and water. There could be other options for food.

On time. At least they offer a drink and a small snack. Plane was clean

For bus boarding, group 1 should have been sent on a separate bus ahead of the general boarding. It would have been nice.

You delayed my trip three days for no reason other than your lack of preparedness, did not offer any compensation, including food or a bed. I couldn’t trust you so I moved up my return flight and lost another day at the end of my trip to hopefully make sure I make my next flight. I will never fly LATAM again. You have the worse accountability and reliability and clearly do not care that your clients have lives and what it cost to fly to another country.

Airline lost my luggage and after 20 days it has not been returned nor refunded any money.

I didn't realize they didn't have bathrooms on the plane. Almost had a very bad situation.

I missed my plane because there was a lot of people during the migration process. The airline has the chance to care for their clients and they could get the passengers missing in the flight. I lost a day of work and Montfort transportation to go back home and go to the airport again. Unfortunately the airline doesn’t care about that. I use latam at least 4 times a year, so I guess I need to be treat better. In addition, one on my baggages didyarricw to my destination. So frustrated with this trip.

Everthing ok , crew very nice but but we had a bad experience with the wheel chair we had to wait too much for the chair, my husband couldn’t walk and he was in lot of pain , LATAM has to take care of that

Aeromexico crew made me check my hand luggage in the door of the plane. As soon as I reach Mexico City, I notice that my luggage was opened and 8 games of Nintendo Switch were stolen (700 dllrs value aprox) (the console was there) but the games were stolen. I am very dissapointed of Aeromexico and all the crew. Instead of being a good trip, It was a sad trip

Ok. But we arrived to a remote terminal which meant that a bus had to take us to the terminal building

Happy attentive flight crew. All in all good flight the night flight works well. Getting into Mexico City early so you don't get caught up it all the immigration and custom ques, additionally, this helps when exiting the airport and crossing the city to your final destination. All works very well and would do it again

An hour-long wait to check in, 90 minutes for luggage to come out, lost luggage, chaotic operations

All the pessengers should be wait in a line útil the creo and piloto are arrived.

Newer plane with large seats. No meal, but snacks were plentiful. Inflight entertainment was good but movies were dated.

No everybody brings the proper equipment to enjoy the plane entertainment. Then I was not able to enjoy it.

Made payment for extra baggage online. When I got to check-in, they made me pay again. Lesson learned - Dont buy extra luggage allowence online, only pay at check-in.

Pros: "I like the service ,the food in thos fliggt back. Excelent"
Cons: "Better rules for people who put the seat back while we eating ,some crewmembee could say something"
Cons: "left Houston more than 2 hours later, arrive in Mexico over 2 am"

Horrible; seating was atrocious - inadequate leg room and seat width tight even for a small individual. Profits shouldn’t be everything!

Connection coordination with Star Alliance partner could be better. Lots of check in setup was not interlinked between operators.

There was no room in overhead bin to place our luggage despite we had tree seats. It means a lot of people had more than 1 carry on bags. When I asked a crew member to help she said that it was not her responsibility.

The plane used to go to Chicago was a bit outdated and needed a refresh

My connecting gate in .Chicago was across the aisle from my arriving gate. Otherwise I would not have made my connection. So that was very fortunate.

I flew basic economy, so it was what I expected. Crew was nice though, and flight was quick. Would recommend for flights under 6 hours, otherwise would upgrade to something with more leg room.

Bad, they delayed my flight, lost my connection flight had to stay overnight for the next flight and missed a lot of important meetings. 1 day totally lost!

Airline staff was good the checkin process was ok but the plane itself was very bad the comfort was worst it was worst and the most stiff 5 hours of my life i felt claustrophobic

Everything got delayed we were supposed to land at 1pm and landes at 8-9 pm … was horrible

Calgary desperately needs a star alliance lounge in the transborder area for United.

I paid over $200 for seat selection for these flights and I was still stuck on long international flights in seats that do not recline and do not have the head support cushion. At this point basically all airlines have those for all seats, and this really took me by surprise and made me not ever want to travel on Avianca. The Kayak agent who called me for the seat selection (Donovan) was courteous, but it seems the system for this doesn't work. I was offered seat selection, for the $200+, but without being able to see what I was selecting, with no guarantee where I'd be...and then I still ended up in terrible seats. On my way to, and especially after, a very intense business trip, the seat situation really soured my experience.

My whole return flight itinerary, 3 flights, got canceled without any warning to me because I missed one of the earlier flights 3 weeks ago

Boarding, crew and food. Seats are too small Love Avianca

Felt very cramped in the back of plane. There was an hour delay for take off sitting on the runway, but we did arrive on time. They charge $120 for carry on bag and backpack at the airport its ridiculous.

Kiwi is the worst, I couldn’t flight for work, Kiwi kept 100% of my money (they didn’t even return the taxes) I will not buy with kiwi again

Avíanca now has cero entertainment, food and even water for their travels in economy. We spend all 6 or more hours ignored or we are offered products to buy using only credit card .

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.

The fees for baggage were outrageous. $130 for carry on and $150 for check in for an international flight. The seats did not recline. We were not even offered water. Had we known all of this, we would not have booked Avianca at all.

Ok, but these people don’t give you nothing no snack no water
