• IATA: TGU

• City: Tegucigalpa
• Country: Honduras
• Time zone: America/Tegucigalpa
• Coordinates: 14.0609, -87.2172
• Airlines at the airport: 2

Time difference against Mexico City. In July, Tegucigalpa runs 0 h behind the Mexican capital (UTC−6 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC−6, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

Coordinates, and why we publish them. 14.0609, -87.2172 is the position from which every great-circle distance on this site is computed, including the ones that set the EU261 compensation band. It is not the distance the aircraft flies — that follows airways and diversions — but the geodesic measure the regulations use. Publishing it lets anyone recompute the figures on these pages.

What each code is for. The IATA code (TGU) is what the bag tag and the ticket use; the ICAO code (MHTG) is what flight plans, NOTAMs and flight trackers use. To follow the inbound aircraft that will become your flight, ICAO is the one that returns reliable results. And if TGU is not printed on your bag tag, the bag was not checked through to here — worth catching at the counter.

Airlines at TGU

2 catalogued airlines operate routes to or from TGU: 1 full-service and 1 low-cost, with checked allowance from 15 to 25 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam. They cover 1 catalogued routes and 7 weekly departures. The table below lists each operator with its type, alliance and checked allowance.

Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

10 kg separate the most generous operator from the leanest at TGU. That gap is what reorders prices once the bag is in: a cheaper base fare on a carrier with no included baggage can land above a full-service one the moment you check a single piece. Compare the total, not the headline figure.

Alliances present at TGU: SkyTeam. It matters for two concrete things: where miles credit, and what happens when something breaks. Within one alliance, rebooking onto another member is usually provided for; between carriers with no agreement it does not exist and depends on goodwill at the desk. If you buy two legs on operators from different alliances, treat them as two separate trips.

Routes to Tegucigalpa (TGU)

Our catalogue lists 1 routes into TGU, totalling 7 weekly departures and spanning 1,396 to 1,396 km. The busiest is MEX-TGU at ~7 flights a week; 0 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 1 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

What traffic TGU moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Latin American regional corridor (1). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Why some rows have no fare. Of the 1 routes listed, 0 returned a price on the collector’s last pass and the rest show a dash. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Frequency is the figure that drives price hardest. In a corridor with many weekly departures the seats compete against each other and the fare floor drops; in a thin one the airline does not need to discount to fill. Comparing two TGU routes on fare without looking at frequency therefore misleads: the dear one is not expensive, it simply has half the supply.

Connection tips

TGU concentrates 7 catalogued weekly departures across 2 airlines, in the America/Tegucigalpa zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional Toncontín runs on the America/Tegucigalpa time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at TGU is MEX-TGU (~7 flights a week). Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from Tegucigalpa; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
