Early GUA flight. Where to stay?
I have a flight back to the US leaving GUA at 7:30 on a weekday morning. Any opinions as to where I should stay the night before? I'll be en route from either Semuc Champay or Antigua the previous day.
Gracias, Ginger

My fav from $50 avoid the airport hotels dumpy
At the Howard Johnson Guatemala City, we offer a Free Airport Shuttle (please contact hotel by email or phone with flight details), Free Wireless Internet Access ...

Intercontinental or Camino Real for upscale
great values even free with www.spg.com points for me.

I've always advised staying in Antigua, too, but we're staying near the airport in Guatemala City twice this summer, before a 7:05 flight to Roatán and then when we return from Roatán in the evening and fly out the next morning. We figured we'd need to leave from Antigua at least 3 hours before the flight and decided we'd rather sleep later and worry less (about shuttle or traffic delays) this time around.

Sorry to put a damper on your plans, but if you really want to be sure you make an early morning flight, stay at one of the places near the airport. I live here and I cannot tell you how many times the highway from Antigua to the city is so jammed with traffic that we turn around when/if we can and go back home. Then there are the "manifestaciones" (demonstrations) which can close all major highways in the country. Granted, these are not every day occurrences, but to catch a flight....don't take the chance!

Just be sure you pick a very reliable agency - I'm sure I've read 30 or 40 posts on the Thorntree forum over the last few years about early morning rides not showing up or showing up an hour or more late.
So Lynne - you decided to finally go home? ;-)
