The return leg also takes about one hour.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

Two airlines serve the route non‑stop: TAG Airlines (5U) and Avianca (AV). Both operate daily, with TAG offering up to eight departures a day and Avianca running three, and the flight takes about 45 minutes to an hour.", "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Aircraft types are taken from the equipment each operating carrier schedules on this route, drawn from published airline timetables and airline equipment schedules in our flight-schedule database. They describe typical scheduled aircraft and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute equipment swaps. 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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "route_aircraft", "flight_schedule", "redeye_flights" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Guatemala City?", "answer": "La Aurora International Airport (GUA) is only about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Guatemala City's center, and taxis are the most practical and widely used way to reach the city, though fares should be agreed upon or metered before departure. Ride-sharing services like Uber are available and generally safer and more predictable than street taxis. There is no direct rail or dedicated airport train, and public buses (including the Transmetro BRT) require a walk or transfer outside the terminal, so they are less convenient with luggage. Rental cars are available but traffic and parking in the city make them a poor choice for most visitors. For the fastest door-to-door trip, a pre-arranged taxi or ride-share is best, while budget travelers can use local buses at the cost of comfort and time.", "toolsUsed": [ "article_lookup" ], "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": "2026-08-26T13:05:07Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guatemala_City", "title": "Guatemala City", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-09-16T16:29:03Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_in_Guatemala", "title": "Transport in Guatemala", "time_published": "2026-01-22T09:21:38Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transportes_A%C3%A9reos_Guatemaltecos", "title": "Transportes Aéreos Guatemaltecos", "favicon": "https://en.wikipedia.org/static/apple-touch/wikipedia.png", "time_published": "2026-05-20T05:28:23Z" } ] }, "q6": { "question": "Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from Flores to Guatemala City?", "answer": "No overnight (red‑eye) flights operate from Flores (FRS) to Guatemala City (GUA) — the schedule shows neither nonstop late‑evening departures nor connecting itineraries whose long leg is a red‑eye on this route.", "methodology": "Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.", "toolsUsed": [ "redeye_flights" ] }, "q7": { "question": "Which airlines usually operate this route from Flores to Guatemala City?", "answer": "Tag Airlines and Avianca operate nonstop flights from Flores to Guatemala City.
