CHECK OUT LATIN DISCOUNTERS, HAVE A WEB SITE. GOT TICKET WITH LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LEAD TIME OUT OF ATLANTA THROUGH HOUSTON TO BZE AND BACK FOR $460 TOTAL INCLUDING THEIR FEES. FROM ATLANTA THIS IS A VERY GOOD RATE. I CONSIDERED TRYING TO MAKE THE TACA $199 OUT OF HOUSTON BUT GETTING TO HOUSTON MADE THE TOTAL MORE THAN THIS TICKET. ALSO THIS FLIGHT ON TACA GETS INTO BZE LATE IN THE DAY, CUTTING IT CLOSE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO TAKE THE BOAT TO SP OR GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE IN BELIZE. MIGHT MAKE YOU SPEND A NITE IN BELIZE CITY, YUK. GO TO BELIZE SOON AND ENJOY BEFORE ALL THE TOURIST ARRIVE.

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has booked air travel through the flight search engine on my website. Would like to know how your experience was in booking your flight and when you booked flying from where? Thanks

gator- you may get better response reposting this thread here again, and also on the 'about ambergris caye' or 'other parts' boards.

maybe rename it something like 'where to get cheap BZ tix'. good luck. i will check it out when my time comes.

oh! i got a quoted a MUCH cheaper price here than i did when i went 8/00!!!

i am guessing most of these excellent rates being quoted are for "off months" like now, february, march & so on and also that people are staying for shortish lengths of time (between a week--2 weeks) and that they live closer to the gateway cities of miami and houston than i do. i have tried every web site posted here, but for the trip i am planning nothing seems to be in my favor, all have quoted really high fares.

i plan to leave mid-june and return mid-august and i'd love to find a delightful bargain flight. but san francisco is way far from houston, it's pretty much a cross country flight on top of the part to belize. summer is "high season" for travel in the states while it's low season belize way. no matter how i sliced it on these web sites, being flexible w/departure days, etc. i was being quoted prices that started at $700 and rose mightily. same story last year.

anyway, enough grumbling. i have an excellent ticket consolidator/travel agent who seems to specialize in central american countries. she's in sf--ana adams at imperial travel 415.826.8100. the price she quoted me this year was $570...about $40 more than i paid last year. however, last year i contacted continental after i made my reservation with ana and a seat on the exact same flight booked thru continental reservations was going for about $250 more! i wish i had the guts of steel to try for last minute cheap seats, maybe that works for people, but i have a need to have certain aspects of my trip assured in advance. i am not sure if ana can hook folks all over the country up with deals but it doesn't hurt to try her if you are planning for an extended summer trip this year and finding the prices steep...

cheers

uh, i thought my screen name made it obvious that i am not anywhere near houston or miami...

got quoted $515 outa phila and 470 outa newark for may. first goes thru miami 2nd thru dallas/fw.

fyi

i did directly thru continental in '00 and paid over $850 pp from phila! never again. here, as i said, i got around $500, give or take. big difference, since we will be 4.

i just ran it for you from sfi to bze on random dates of 7/16 - 8/16 for 2 adults and got $690. remember, weekends are higher than weekdays.

just checked a few days ago with Orbitz it was $394 form L.A. in late May. Dave.

My wife and I put in a bid and were able to get a flight from Colorado for $500, maybe not the cheapest but it doesn't sound too bad, I wish I was there now, yesterday was -8 degrees here.
