Definitely, This route has been one of the most requested by Ecuadorians, where even readers in this space have also requested it on multiple occasions. It is finally a reality after years of expectation and rumors from interested airlines, Ecuador now has three destinations served in the state of Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale and now Orlando).
With these new frequencies, There are now three routes that had offers from Ecuador to the United States, which is added to the flights from Quito and Guayaquil to New York, also being the first destination of the Ecuadorian subsidiary in Florida.
avianca Ecuador began flights to Orlando
In this opportunity, I was able to be part of the inaugural flight where together with 155 passengers was able to live the experience of flying for the first time in the history of our country directly and regularly to Orlando. So I share with you the official Flight Report, also available on YouTube:
The 29 October as the day when for the first time they flew directly to Orlando from Ecuador without having to make a connection elsewhere on the continent, undoubtedly saving time and money for travelers, since they will not have to wait for connecting flights or drive 4 a 5 hours from Miami to reach the Mickey Mouse capital of the world, landing directly in the land of world-class outlets and entertainment parks.
The new direct Avianca route between Quito and Orlando that initially offers two weekly frequencies and more than 1400 seats available per month on planes Airbus A320 with a capacity to 180 passengers. With this new route, the fourth inaugurated this year, had ratifies its commitment to be the airline that provides the greatest non-stop connectivity to Ecuadorians.
The Avianca Ecuador flight itinerary* is as follows:
| Flight | Route | Departure time | Check In | Frequencies |
| AV7398 | Quito-Orlando | 07:35 | 13:05 | Wednesday and Sunday |
| AV7399 | Orlando-Quito | 14:30 | 18:00 |
As a flight experience, I tell you that its duration was 3 hours and 51 minutes, arriving at terminal A of Orlando Airport, which offers a train to connect to the public area to take a taxi, bus or rent cars.
Here it is important to indicate that at the time of arrival of this flight the immigration area is very agile and efficient., which allowed me to go out to my activities alone 15 minutes after landing, which makes it even more attractive if we compare it with Miami that can take 1 hour or more waiting. One more benefit of the route.
Within this same point, I share some additional recommendations about this flight and in general for flying to the United States:
- If you have to deliver luggage to check it in the hold, come closer 2 hours 30 before flight departure time.
- avianca performs check-in in zone D of the Quito Airport.
- It is likely that the system does not allow you to do web check-in and you will have to do it at the airport, so you should arrive early to avoid lines and delays. This is because they must check that you have the visa the ESTA to travel to USA physically.
- Forget about C19 requirements, They stopped ordering them quite a few months ago..
- Upon arrival in Orlando you will find the LYNX public buses that cost only $2 by way if you want to save money.
- for your return, In Orlando, the airline Avianca has its check-in counter in zone A.
- MCO airport is big, so come with more than 2:30 hours in advance is good, since TSA filters can take between 35 a 60 minutes of waiting.
- Get to your door early, avianca schedules its flights between the door 90 and 99.
The new destination joins the network of 16 international routes of had that connect to Ecuador with the world via the hubs Bogota, Costa Rica and The Savior, plus point-to-point destinations:
- Quito to Bogota, San Salvador, Saint Joseph, Buenos Aires, Medellin, New York and now Orlando.
- From Guayaquil to Bogota, San Salvador and New York.
- AND, with the domestic operation it connects the cities of Quito, Guayaquil, San Cristobal, Baltra, basin and blanket.
Being Ecuador the fifth country that most visits Florida with more than 237 thousand annual travelers, This route should be destined for success and achieve position in a short time, with increased frequencies and connectivity options for the entire Ecuadorian domestic market where it operates avianca Ecuador.
