Quito's colonial center is the best-preserved in South America — gold-leafed churches, presidential palace ceremonies, and chocolate tastings at altitude. The equator monument is 20 minutes away, and the Galápagos are a short flight.

Business class flights to Quito start from $1,800 round-trip. United offers nonstop service from Houston with Polaris business class. JetBlue serves from JFK with Mint class. LATAM connects via Lima with excellent regional business class. The relatively short flight times make Quito one of South America's most accessible capitals.
Direct flights from Houston take just 5.5 hours — shorter than many domestic US routes. From JFK, expect 6-7 hours. Business class is particularly valuable for arriving refreshed at altitude. Drink plenty of water and skip the champagne for your first day at 2,850 meters.

Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO) is modern and efficient, located 45 minutes east of the colonial center. Taxis and Uber are readily available. The airport sits at an even higher altitude than the city, so prepare for thin air upon arrival.

The colonial center is South America's finest — La Compañía de Jesús church drips with seven tons of gold leaf. The Basílica del Voto Nacional offers tower climbs with vertiginous views. TelefériQo cable car ascends to 4,050m for Andean panoramas. The Mitad del Mundo equator monument lets you straddle hemispheres. Plaza Grande anchors the historic center with the Presidential Palace.

Ecuadorian cuisine is diverse and delicious. Zazu and Nuema serve modern Ecuadorian haute cuisine. Mercado Central offers locro de papa (potato soup), ceviche, and hornado (roasted pork). Quito's chocolate scene is world-class — Ecuador produces some of the world's finest cacao. Street food includes empanadas de viento and llapingachos (potato patties).

The Galápagos Islands — 2.5 hours by air — are the ultimate add-on. Book well in advance for cruise and land-based tours. Closer to Quito, Cotopaxi volcano offers day-trip hiking, Mindo cloud forest provides birdwatching, and Otavalo indigenous market (2 hours north) is one of South America's most colorful.

Polaris
Not all 'Polaris' bookings are created equal — always check the specific aircraft type before booking, as older 767-300s and a handful of 777-200s still fly with a previous-generation angled or staggered business seat rather than true Polaris reverse-herringbone seating. For the best experience, prioritize 787-9/10 or 777-300ER aircraft, and try to route through hubs with a dedicated Polaris Lounge — Chicago O'Hare, Houston Intercontinental, Newark, San Francisco, or Los Angeles — for pre-flight dining and shower access unmatched elsewhere in United's network.

Mint
Not all Mint is created equal: insist on the A321LR configuration with door-equipped Mint Suites for transatlantic routes (JFK-LHR, JFK-CDG, JFK-Paris) rather than the older A321 cabin or the smaller A220, which lacks suite doors and has a more compact footprint. On transcon flights, the original 'Mint Studio' seats in row 1 (with a fold-out ottoman seat for a companion) remain the most spacious seats in the cabin and are worth booking early. Because JetBlue has no lounge alliance, non-JFK T5 departures mean Mint passengers typically wait in the regular terminal rather than a dedicated business lounge.

Premium Business
Always check the aircraft type before booking — 'Premium Business' on a domestic A320/321 flight is a recliner seat, not the flat-bed product LATAM markets on its 787 and A350 long-haul fleet. The best experience is on routes like Santiago-Los Angeles, São Paulo-Miami, or Lima-Madrid, where the widebody lie-flat cabin is guaranteed; for connecting itineraries within South America, expect a more basic hard product on feeder flights.
