Why book domestic flights in Guatemala?
Guatemala is a vibrant country with lots to explore. Although it's a small country and each city might not look too far to travel when looking at a map, heavy traffic and indirect roads make driving around Guatemala time-consuming.
For example, driving from Guatemala City to Flores can take 9+ hours by road. However, if you fly between the same two destinations, it only takes one hour.
Taking a flight in Guatemala saves you an enormous amount of time and lets you explore more while travelling less.
