When booking, make sure the agent gives you full instructions as to the situation with the connections.
Allow three hours connection time to get through security in Miami if arriving there from outside the USA.

Should you find you have time in Miami, it is possible to make use of a rooftop swimming pool and health club in the airport for a charge of about $8 per person (have your swimming gear with you for this option!) Please note that that you will have to pass through U.S. Customs to use these facilities. Once in the main body of the airport, follow signs to “Hotel”. You then take an elevator to the penultimate floor, then across a small lobby and up one more level to the rooftop.

We suggest you make copies of all your important documents (visa, passport, credit cards, air tickets). In case they are lost or stolen it will make replacement a lot easier.

Travel insurance that protects you for medical necessities abroad and for cancellation during or just before the trip is compulsory and must be arranged independently. Please send us a copy of your certificate. Beware of cheaper policies that may have insufficient cancellation or medical cover.

There are a few exceptions for some Asian/European countries, so please check with your nearest Ecuadorian consulate or ask our advice. Other nationalities should check with their nearest Ecuadorian Embassy to enquire whether visas are necessary.

A valid passport is required for travel to Ecuador and must accompany travellers at all times. Passports must have at least 6 months validity remaining. UK passengers flying via the US do not normally require US visas if they fill out a ‘visa waiver’ form prior to landing in the US.
