Quito - Post Report Question and Answers

What is your home city/country? How long is the trip to post from there, with what connections? How easy/difficult is it to travel to this city/country?

Washington DC area, USA. There are direct flights from Quito into Houston, Atlanta, Miami and Ft Lauderdale. The flight times aren't very long, but for some reason many of the flights leave late at night or pre-dawn hours, so you end up rather sleep deprived. - Jul 2023


Usually fly from Quito to either Atlanta or Miami and connect there. - Jul 2023


US. We are from the East coast so we fly through Atlanta or Miami and catch a connection from there. The total day is about 12 hours. The difficulty is that flights leave out of Quito either around 6am or midnight but the flights are short (4-5 hours) so you lose sleep and need the day you arrive to recover. It's such a pain. - Jul 2019
