How to travel from Scotland to Ecuador?

Question

How many hours would it take to arrive in Quito, Ecuador? How expensive would be the journey, 2-week vacation?

Answer 1

From the Lonely Planet:

By Western standards ... costs for travel basics (lodging, food and public transport) remain extremely low.

Ecuador has a two-tier pricing system for certain services (mainly airfares to the Galápagos, museum and national park entries, and top-end hotels) and foreigners pay a lot more than locals. Budget and mid-range hotels rarely charge foreigners more, and rates for buses are the same for everyone.

Travelers on a budget should be able to get by on US$15.00 per day, provided they stay in the cheapest hotels, eat where locals eat and skip regular nightlife. A less frugal approach might set you back US$50.00 to US$70.00 per day. Things get expensive when you start adding tours (which cost around US$50.00 to US$80.00 per day), staying at jungle lodges and - priciest of all - visiting the Galápagos Islands.

http://www.xe.com has the exchange rate.

I also looked online for fares. For some random dates in March I found fares from London to Quito with American Airlines via Miami from 480 GBP onwards.

So the answer to your question is a minimum of 600 pounds plus price of transport to London. If you go on a tour, you'll need to shell out around 850 pounds at least. All prices per person.

Answer 2

i think Venezuela or Brazil is better.. mey be Colombia but Colombia and Ecuador are SO denjer

Answer 3

On http://www.expedia.co.uk if you were travelling from Glasgow to Quito - through Miami. It would cost from about £1,108.70. It will probably be diffrent prices though depending on the dates you choose to go. That was for flights only. :-)
