Galapagos - flight from Guayaquil

[CWK]

Hi,

I’m having some issues booking flights from Guayaquil to Galapagos. I’ve tried three different methods as follows:

1. Online . The Avianca online flight booking system crashes on me before the end of the booking process. The system crashes after credit card details have been entered so I’m reluctant to keep trying the Avianca online booking system.

2. Bank credit card concierge service. My bank credit card has a concierge service for points redemption so I tried to have them book my flight. It turns out that they used the Avianca online flight booking system and faced the same Avianca system issue that I did.

3. Travel agent. I’ve asked my travel agent to book the flight for me. Their flight booking system allows them to book the flight, however they tell me that their flight booking system doesn’t give them the option of including sports equipment bags in the flight booking.

Does anyone have suggestions for an alternative booking method?

Thanks

Have you or are you willing to try LATAM?

For some strange reason I thought only Avianca flew to the Galapagos. Will look at LATAM for flights.

Last October I book the flights to Galapagos through United Airlines (as Avianca & United are partners in Star Alliance). May be Avianca is having a temporary online problem.

The United website does not show any GYE-SCY flights. I presume that the Galapagos destinations on United are only available if your flight originates from the US.

I’m not sure what the issue with the Avianca website is. Thankfully there’s the alternative of LATAM.

Yes. I booked roundtrip flights from Houston to Galapagos through United Airlines. United flights were for the international segment (Houston to Quito). Avianca flights were for the domestic segment, Quito-Guayaquil-San Cristobal.

We have booked LATAM through Delta. But as part of flights from the states.
