Flights to Guatemala

We do not publish a fixed cheapest month — read it off the live Best Time to Fly chart on this page, which is drawn straight from our flight feed and stamped with the date it was pulled. The chart currently covers only the next few months from Miami, so it is a forward-looking view of one route, not a seasonal average across US cities. Read the Popular Routes cards the same way: each fare carries the departure and return dates it applies to. One caveat from the data provider itself — Travelpayouts states “the data is transferred from the cache, so it is recommended to use them to generate static pages” and that “it is not recommended to use expired prices”. So these are the cheapest fares Travelpayouts users found for those dates, served from its cache, not a live quote; always confirm the price at the airline or booking site before you plan around it.

Yes — nonstops operate from Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, New York JFK and more, but the route map changed a lot in 2026: Spirit shut down entirely in May 2026, the Frontier Dallas nonstop ended in August 2026, and new routes were added from Houston (Frontier) and Canada. See our direct-flights tracker for the current verified route list. From other US cities, expect one connection via Miami, Houston, or Panama City.

Avianca and Copa have the best overall reputation with included baggage and good service (4/5 rating). United and American are solid choices with direct routes from their hubs. Volaris and Frontier are the budget options but charge extra for baggage and have basic service. (Spirit ceased all operations in May 2026.)

Guatemala City’s La Aurora airport (GUA) is about 1 hour from Antigua. Uber is available at the airport; the run to Antigua has no fixed fare (app-quoted, surge-variable). Shared shuttles cost USD$17-18 (AtitlanTour, Guatemala Transportation, read 24 September 2026). Private transfers cost Q300-400 ($39-52). Taxis at the airport charge Q250-400 but negotiate before getting in.

Yes. Mundo Maya International Airport (FRS) in Flores/Santa Elena is about 1 hour from Tikal. No published GUA-FRS fare could be verified on 12 September 2026 – tag.com.gt and vuela.tagairlines.com both returned HTTP 403 to us and avianca.com returned no body, so check the airline directly rather than trusting a quoted range. What is sourced is the schedule: seven to eight Guatemala City to Flores departures a day between 05:45 and 21:30, 50 to 60 minutes in the air, flown by TAG (4-5 daily, ATR 72) and Avianca (3 daily, A320). The bus takes 8-10 hours.
