In the north is the famous Maya ruin site of Tikal, and the small Flores Airport neaby actually does have a few flights from Mexico and Belize.

A few well established regional airlines have frequent flights to major cities in the Americas, and several US airlines also provide regular service, so the competition keeps flights to Guatemala reasonably priced most of the time. Much of the traffic is seasonal with winter being the peak time for visits. Since so many visitors are people taking a week off in the United States, you can often find cheap flights if you are able to avoid the weekends.

The Guatemala City Airport is large, and the international terminal in particular is a modern contrast to the rest of the airport as well as the city that surrounds it. The facility is only 6 km from the city center, though many travelers will never even realize that. This isn't a city that gets raves from many travelers so most people are best off taking a taxi or shuttle to Antigua or wherever their final destination is.
