The United States Embassy in Guatemala City advises U.S. citizens that United Airlines has opened flights from Guatemala City to the United States on the following dates:
Friday, April 17 – 12:00 p.m. departure (Flight 3041) from Guatemala City to Houston, TX.
Saturday April 18 – 12:00 p.m. departure (Flight 3042) from Guatemala City to Houston, TX.
These flights are limited offerings and we do not expect them to continue on a regular basis. We urge U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents wishing to travel to the United States to contact United Airlines directly to make a booking. We also ask U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents still wishing to return to the United States to continue to check the availability of these and other commercial flight options as they are scheduled. Reservations for commercial flights would be made directly with the airlines, not the U.S. Embassy, so please contact them directly for bookings. Please contact United Airlines directly at https://www.united.com or VentasGUA@united.com to make reservations.
The United States Embassy in Guatemala City reminds American citizens that, at the current juncture, all travel between departments within Guatemala is prohibited, including travel to the airport for those outside the Department of Guatemala. The United States Embassy in Guatemala is in discussions with the Guatemala government to authorize travel on a flight-by-flight basis for passengers traveling to the United States, but has not obtained such authorization at this time. The Embassy will provide additional information as it is made available.
The restrictions on inter-departmental travel do not impede individuals currently in the Department of Guatemala, including those in Guatemala City, from traveling to the airport to board the upcoming United Airlines flights.
Please contact AmcitsGuatemala@state.gov for any urgent inquiries.
