I’ve seen those routes have coach fares in that range, so for business class, this is a great deal. Most flights/cruises to the Galapagos leave from Quito, so this could be a good positioning flight. I’ve never been to Ecuador, but hear many good things.Miami to Quito prices at $829 roundtrip total in business class.Miami to Quito for $829 roundtrip in business classAvailability seems to be good throughout the fall (South America’s spring) and it’s a great time to visit with mild to warm temperatures. To put it in comparison, business class flights to Lima and Buenos Aires are all in the $7,000 range, so these Ecuador fares are pretty amazing. Book them before they are gone!These book into Premium Business I class and for the Guayaquil-Quito legs in coach, it’s Y class. If you bank to American Airlines, I class gets 100% elite qualifying miles, 1.5 elite qualifying points and a 25% class of service bonus.
