Quito in Ecuador is not a destination that we promote here every day. That’s because flights are typically rather expensive. And that’s especially true for trips in business class. But Air France is currently running a nice sale, and as a result, you can purchase tickets for a round-trip from Paris to Quito at prices starting around €1,489 per person (companion special).
As of now, it seems as if availability is great March until October, 2020, except for summer and winter holidays.
The trip to South America often included only one layover at the carrier’s hubs in Amsterdam or Paris. On your way back, you might have to switch aircraft twice. Mostly in Panama or Guayaquil. Consequently, the airlines you’ll be traveling could include LATAM, Avianca, or Copa. Still, you can usually fly directly from Quito to Paris or Amsterdam.
Air France will transport you on board a Boeing 787. So, you can expect an up-to-date product. Check out this review to learn more:
