Which airline to travel on?
The airline industry has suffered in recent months, the reactivation of flights and connections will be done gradually over the weeks and months to come.
Below, we take stock company by company. For Europeans, it will be necessary to plan to reach Guatemala while avoiding the United States for the moment. Other options exist such as going through Spain (Iberia), Mexico (Air France and Aeromexico) or Panama (Air France then Copa).
Iberia (best option)
The Spanish company should resume its daily flights to Guatemala in October.
Air France and Aeromexico (best option)
Air France operates several flights per week to Mexico and from October 1, the Mexican company Aeromexico will resume its 3 daily flights from Mexico City to Guatemala Ciudad
It will therefore be possible to travel from France (with Air France) to Guatemala with a stopover in Mexico.
American Airlines
