Unable to find information about the schedule of direct flights from
Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) serves Quito as the country’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and regional flights. Carriers range from flag and full-service airlines to several low-cost operators, so fares can vary from budget-friendly to premium depending on route and season. The airport sits about 18–20 km northeast of the historic centre — travel time is usually 35–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hail depending on traffic and altitude; fares commonly fall within a moderate range. Public bus and airport shuttle services are available but can take longer. Pros: modern facilities and international connections; cons: Quito’s elevation and winding roads can make transfers slower than expected.
Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim International (GIG) serves as Rio de Janeiro’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for legacy carriers and many long-haul flights, while also handling domestic services. It’s generally perceived as mid- to premium-tier for international travel and can be pricier than the smaller local airports. Located about 20–25 km north of downtown, transfer options include taxi or rideshare (30–50 minutes, fares typically mid-range), airport shuttle buses and private transfer services, plus an express bus to the city (longer in peak traffic). Pros: extensive international connections and full passenger facilities; cons: travel times and fares can rise with traffic and check-in queues at peak hours. Santos Dumont Airport (SDU) is Rio’s central domestic airport, favored for short-haul and business traffic due to its proximity to the city center and frequent regional flights operated mainly by domestic carriers. Situated around 2–8 km from the main downtown districts, it’s usually convenient for quick transfers: short taxi or rideshare rides (10–20 minutes, relatively low fares), city buses and occasional water taxi options. Pros: very close to central Rio and fast check-ins for domestic routes; cons: smaller terminal with limited international services and potential noise/restrictions affecting operations.
