Guatemala is a small country in Central America, still little known to French travelers. The offer of airlines is not yet very developed, and it can sometimes be difficult to find cheap flights to Guatemala. However, there are some good tips to get a cheap flight ticket to Guatemala City. Don’t be afraid to leave in Guatemala just because you think the plane ticket is inaccessible!

Find the best flight to Guatemala from France

First of all, you will need to know that there is no direct flight from France to Guatemala. Indeed, if you want to go to Guatemala from France, you will have to book a flight with at least one or two stopovers. The arrival airport to choose is Guatemala City, which is the capital and the only international airport in the country. If you travel from France or Europe, you will land at this airport.

Airlines that operate most frequently flights to Guatemala are the American and Mexican companies. This is most often the American Airlines and Aero Mexico, which have daily flights to Miami, New York, and Mexico City, which later offer connections to Guatemala City.

When to go to Guatemala to find the best price?

As far as the price is concerned, the price of a plane ticket from France to Guatemala is between 600 and 900 euros throughout the year. If you want to benefit from the best rates, it is recommended to choose to travel to Guatemala in the low season, that is, rather during the months of May, June, September and October . These are the months away from school holidays but mainly corresponding to the rainy season. You can easily find a flight at 400 or 450€ during these less frequented months.

On the contrary, the most expensive months are those of December with the holidays of the end of the year, and of Mars-Avril, because the country is stormed on the occasion of the holy week. The months of July and August, which correspond to the school holidays in many countries, are also quite expensive.

Can we find direct flights?

If you are a little flexible, don’t hesitate to look at flights from Spain: in fact, this country often offers better flights to Central and Latin America in general. Thus, Iberia offers direct flights to Guatemala from Madrid. The flight lasts 11 hours and arrives directly to Guatemala City.

Finally, it is also recommended to take good in advance, at least four months before the departure date, to take advantage of advantageous rates.

On this, good discovery of Guatemala, but above all, good hunting for the plane ticket!
