Looking for cheap flights to Ecuador? AirfaresForLess compares airlines and booking sites in one search, so you can find a low fare — and the right airport, dates and connections — without opening a dozen tabs.
Ecuador no longer has a traditional state flag carrier; LATAM and Avianca serve the country, along with US carriers such as American, Delta, United and JetBlue and connections via Copa's Panama hub.
Ecuador is a year-round destination, so fares tend to follow North American holiday demand — Christmas, New Year, Easter and July–August are busiest. Shoulder months are often better value.
Either works — Galápagos flights depart from both Quito (UIO) and Guayaquil (GYE), with many routings stopping in Guayaquil on the way.
Yes. Ecuador uses the US dollar as its official currency, which makes budgeting simple for American travelers.
Avoid the Christmas–New Year, Easter and summer vacation peaks; spring and autumn shoulder months often have lower fares.
