🚐 1. Pre-booked shared shuttle
Taking a shared shuttle from the airport to Antigua is an affordable, direct and common choice. It usually costs around Q60–80 per person (~USD 8–10). It is best to book ahead to avoid long waits when you land.
🚗 2. Taxi / Uber / Private transport
Authorised airport taxis have fixed fares to Antigua (~Q300–400 / USD 38–50). Uber is also available and is usually cheaper. Ideal if you arrive with luggage or at night.
🚌 3. Local ground transport (chicken bus)
The cheapest option, though less direct. There is no direct bus from the airport — you have to connect in Guatemala City. It costs less than Q30 (~USD 4). Not recommended with heavy luggage or at night.
💡 Extra tips
- Book ahead to secure availability and a better price.
- Guatemala City traffic is heavy between 7–9 AM and 4–7 PM.
- If your flight lands very late, private transport is the safest option and is available at any hour.
