AM - YVR to GUA C$776 Business (Cheaper with OTAs)
Saw this on a Canadian bloogers website Yxx deals dot com. Wide availability till early next year

Does anyone know which class this books into and how many MQMs will it earn on Delta? Also, some changes in MEX are as short as 1 hour 10 minutes (seems inadequate based on previous experience but that was a while ago) - so what should be the minimum layover period?

As to where to stay? I would stay in Antigua, about an hour out of GUA, you can also head up to Flores to visit the Mayan ruins there... Of course as a pure MR, do a same plane turn, which might force you to spend time in MEX....

If you need MQDs , AM is one of the easiest options in the Americas, yes they are narrow bodies but you can get 3, 5 or 7 to 1 MQD Ratios (those higher ones are usually ex TIJ)

What are the AM business class seats like? Relatively comfortable MR option?

Maybe I won't do this as an MR. I've never been to GUA before. I might have to spend three days and check out Antigua. When is the best time of the year to visit to get the best possible weather? The fare still seems to have good availability in the fall.

If you wanna see it in detail, I have a series of videos filmed in GUA city, Antigua, Acatenango and the gorgeous Atitlan on the channel in my signature.

There is a similar fare out of SEA, too. I did the SEA-MEX roundtrip recently in J...it was perfectly fine and as efficient as can be from here. If I book this, I'll probably spring the little bit extra for the flex ticket since I'd be booking a ways out...I got burned by Aeromexico tickets during peak pandemic that I'd like to avoid repeating.
