Mariscal Sucre Quito International Airport

This is a modern, clean and well structured airport. The pricing is according to US standards and rather high compared to shops in Quito. Overall a great experience!

It's small but cozy, it doesn't have big dutyfree shops just atenzza, and some local brands of chocolate and crafts. The food is super expensive, it is preferable to pay for the VIP lounge and wait there that has food and drink and you are more comfortable than paying $5 for a coffee

+4 stars for: Very clean, modern airport. Passport control was fast. Pleasant staff. Nice bathrooms. Easy taxi / Uber hailing. -1 star Wifi wasn't good though.

The airport looks new even though it was built 10 years ago. The process of going through customs was a breeze compare to Medellin airport. The coffee shop was a little bit expensive but it is expected at an airport. The car we hired was Edison and he was always ontime and dependable.

Quito’s main airport connects Ecuador regionally and internationally, scoring 20/25 in connectivity. Passenger experience is strong, with modern lounges, shops, and dining; efficiency is high despite altitude-related operations. Safety compliance is strong, and sustainability initiatives include energy management. AEI highlights it as a reliable gateway for travelers with excellent operational performance.

A vey busy airport. The information desk has staff that does not know the answers to basic questions. A lot of shops, including duty-free shops and and a wide choice of restaurants. The check-in desks for airlines are assigned as you get closer to the departure. So if you reach early, you can not check in and have no idea where you will need to check in. The drive to the center of the city is about an hour so allow for that. There are a number of modern hotels nearby to stay.

I missed my flight but the people were kind and empathetic and helpful. I got complacent and missed boarding by 1 min because i thought it was a good idea to use the restroom as they were boarding. After I accepted the reality I bought another ticket. Got the next flight 4 hours later. Just a heads up. When boarding closes, thats it. No getting on that plane. Now I understand why people get anxious about boarding and form a long line. I used to pride myself on being patient and boarding last... Im now one of those people trying to board group 1 when Im group 6 haha. Very expensive mistake. Lost sleep and my sanity for a min there haha. Thankful for the help I got from latam people. Very soft spoken and explained why I couldn't board. And listened to me ramble about how I got there 2 hours early just so I wouldn't miss my flight. Great experience but the window for boarding is 10- 15 min so be aware! The boarding is really fast compared to any other flight I've taken which is probably how it should be bit it caught me off guard.

Approx $20 USD flat rate for a taxi from La Carolina area to airport. Some comfortable seating located in domestic terminal. Price of coffee and food items are extremely high. Best to pack your own food or pay exorbitant prices ($12 USD for a chocolate bar, $5 USD coffee, $8 USD small bag of nuts. There are filtered water fill stations past security along with clean bathrooms. Charging plugs in comfortable chairs at Amex lounge (free of charge) along with free wifi.
