The return leg is slightly longer at 3 hours and 38 minutes, a small difference driven by prevailing winds. Delta and Frontier operate the route, with Delta offering daily service and Frontier flying on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Guatemala City?", "answer": "At La Aurora International Airport (GUA), the most practical way to reach Guatemala City center 6.4 km away is by taxi or ride‑share, with taxis being the most used option. Official airport taxis are available outside the terminal and offer a fast, direct trip, while ride‑sharing apps like Uber also operate in the area. There is no direct mass‑transit rail link, but limited public bus service exists though it is less comfortable with luggage. Car rentals are available at the airport, but driving in Guatemala City can be challenging due to traffic and road conditions. Overall, a taxi or ride‑share is the fastest and most convenient choice for most travelers.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Aurora_International_Airport", "title": "La Aurora International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-16T01:12:50Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_State_Airport", "title": "Aurora State Airport", "time_published": "2026-07-06T01:16:10Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_Municipal_Airport_(Nebraska)", "title": "Aurora Municipal Airport (Nebraska)", "time_published": "2026-07-06T01:16:07Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%20Aurora%20International%20Airport", "title": "La Aurora International Airport", "time_published": "2026-04-14T04:19:48Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arturo_Merino_Ben%C3%ADtez_International_Airport", "title": "Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-07-21T20:58:16Z" } ] }, "q4": { "question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from Atlanta to Guatemala City?", "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from Atlanta to Guatemala City are February (around $213), September ($216), and October ($220).

For each calendar day we take a representative round-trip fare — a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings — and Gaussian-smooth the series so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. Thin and international routes are neighbor-filled: the seasonal shape is borrowed from the nearest dense routes (by origin-and-destination great-circle distance) with the price level anchored to the route's own bookings, so a sparse route still shows a plausible curve.

Booking much earlier (e.g. 180 days ahead) costs notably more, averaging $386, so avoid locking in too far in advance for this route. For summer and holiday periods, expect to shift that window slightly earlier — around 6 to 8 weeks out — since demand pushes prices up the closer you get to those peak dates.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. It expresses the typical round-trip fare as a function of how many days before departure a trip is booked — from about 180 days out down to the day of departure — aggregating the route's bookings by advance-purchase days and Gaussian-smoothing the curve the same way as the seasonal baseline. From that curve we highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare as the suggested booking window.

Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft and taxis are also readily available, offering a door-to-door trip in roughly the same time but at a higher cost. Shared-ride shuttles provide a middle ground, with fares around $16.50 per person to downtown.
