Has anyone ever used 'Priceline' to get airline tickets to Belize? We're arriving in Dec and I can't find tickets for under $900RT. Any suggestions?

Hi ladybug,
We have used priceline forever and always get GREAT deals!
Our problem is we keep forgettin to join a milage club (?) lol anyway...
Do it, it's not only fun.... but you do get a very good price as well!!!

Ladybug,,,$900 R/T from Florida,,,sounds expensive to me,, I just priced the same R/T from San Francisco on Continental Air.. VIA Huston to Bze.. and the price for 1 R/T/ was $487....What air port are you leaving from..?? you May want to check out another terminal that is close to you. Good Luck, hope to see ya there...

I'm flying from JFK in NYC in 2 weeks. We got a flight for $530 R/T, with a connection in Miami. I don't know how close to Miami you are but it is worth checking into. A drive there would get you on a direct flight for probably less than what I paid. We are flying American Airlines. December is a long time away don't jump into such a expensive fare.

did ya try flycheapol.com or http://oldgatorstravels.com/

i got a decent price on the latter. leaving on a weekday rather than weekend helps too.

Thanks to all for the replies. I too thought $900 from Orlando was "pricey" But that is the going rate. We'll probably fly out of Miami, but that to is still at $750! Go figure?! I still have plenty of time to look. I saw some fares on skyauction.com that looked interesting. I keep an eye on that.

Keep checking daily. My flight from Chicago to Belize was $960 one day on American and $533 the next day. You have a lot of time to plan. I'd wait it out a couple of months. Also, Orbitz has some pretty good fares.

Wait to book until about 3 months out. We booked our April trip last June... but everyone waited until around Dec//Jan to start booking air as it stayed about $900 RT until then (from Atlanta). The sales dont usually hit until about 3-4 months out. Just keep an eye on them each month and they will eventually drop.

Unfortunately Delta doesnt fly to Belize or most all of us would have cashed in some FF miles instead! opefully they'll be flying there by next time we go.

Try "Exitos"...they are a Latin American Travel Company from Colorado and have always gotten us the best deals on flights (they have a web site)...good luck! Also, the security lines at the Belize airport are less of a problem than in US but they still hand search each piece of luggage thoroughly!!

i just picked random dates in dec on oldgator's site, and got $738, just now, miami to bz.

Try www.hobbittravel.com
Orlando to Belize $380. That doesn't include taxes, so plan maybe $450.

we r flying from cleveland ohio all the prices we can up with were over 1000 per person so we decited to go to a travel agent so we ended up paying 530 per person much better rates!! good luck to u!!

My brother has had good luck with priceline but I never have. I tried flycheapol.com, ocasionally came across this mysterious $400 fare but it would never "sell" when I tried to book. But at least I discovered much better fares were available leaving during the week, Tues, Wed or Thurs. End up going directly to COntinental. RT from Philly $509 + taxes. BUt a 6:50 AM flight yikes. Soooo with security checkin, drive to airport that means waking up some the night before. hehe

cu...you laugh, but we came home from orlando last month, and arriving 1.5 hrs before the return flight, gave us about 15 minutes to RUN to the gate, check in and get on the plane. hubby was searched twice and his briefcase completely dismantled.

phila airport was not as bad.

Jane you're right. Last time I did an early flight out of Philly it wasn't to bad and the last time I went through Orlando I ended up spending the night. Didn't make the 15 minute run to the next gate.

Besides I don't mind being up at an O dark:thirty if it means going on vacation. Kinda seems like how the adventure should begin. The return is worse hehe gets in a 1AM and then work in a few hours. weeee but who cares bout that now.

duh...i did not even look till now to see ya r a local. where in phila r u? i was born in NE, grew up in ft. washington, 10 years in glenside, 10 years in willow grove, now in doylestown. f works in center city...across from city hall

One of my best friends is married to a Delta pilot. They tell me to look for Delta to start flying Atl/BC this summer. Hope to see that one!!

Jane, yep well I say Philly cause know one knows the suburbs. The burbs are just "spreadin out far and wide" just like in Green Acres.

I live in Chesterbrook near KoP and my girlfriend a tad further west. Both transplants. But I've been here 7 years, long enough to become an Eagles fan: for better and for worse. A lot mo better the past 2 seasons than the first 5.hehe
