Is it better to fly into Guatemala city on Saturday or Sunday? Or does it make a difference?

Question

As far as getting around (going to Antigua) and having stuff to do, is it better to get to Guatemala City Saturday or Sunday?

Answer 1

It really shouldn't matter.  Traffic should be about the same on both days. Though it is a very Catholic country, Sunday is business as usual for transportation.

Answer 2

No difference in services at all. You will arrive in a beatuful new airport terminal and find the Antigua shuttle ($10) waiting for you both saturday and sunday.

Sunday is another day as far as tourist needs are concerned. I always took that for granted until I came to Germany and couldn't believe **** here close so early and nothing is open on Sundays!

Answer 3

Is better to come not on those days because the road to Antigua is always full for week ends. Why don´t you come from Monday through Friday, It will be easier for you.

Answer 4

Chichicastenango is a must see...they have thier market days on Thurs and Sun...Sunday being the best...Go to http://www.tripadvisor.com  there you will see pics and hear stories from trvelors who have been there.

Answer 5

as Jose22 told you .... everything is opened on Saturday and Sunday

If you are Catholic then you can go to church on Sunday.  

Good luck and welcome to the eternal spring country.
