The fares are indeed "new" and usually are not available on any of the websites (including the airlines own sites) for several hours following the notification.

But, are they legit? I see that up to $180 extra in international taxes may apply, too. Thanks.

Hey, I thought this was a new real estate site. Selling Ambergris Caye Air. I also thought that Reaper would have a hand in this - Ambergris Caye Air from 13,000 ft above!

the lowest fare i could actually find was...$575.50 pp, all-in. that was from chicago to belize city on continental. that is pretty cheap compared to what has been out there recently. the only hitch is there is only 33 minutes between flights in houston, and that doesn't seem doable.

Yes, they are a legit company. They are not a treavel agent or booking site and......... Reaper is not invested (a s far as I know )

WOW! It worked; it worked; it really worked! Booked 5 tix in June on the Continental.com site. $348 plus taxes, for a grand total of $443.50 per person, including the BZ departure taxes! Yippee!!!
Also, Philly was $399 plus tax.

P.S. The 33 minute layover with Continental in IAH is do-able. Did it myself in July (after asking a helpful person from the board about her similar experience). Walked off the plane, took the shuttle to the next terminal and walked right on to the next flight! This was at 8:30am, and we were in BZ by 10:30am!

FYI - our same dates on Continental.com are up to $619+ now. Some sale fares are still available on Orbitz.com ($454 incl tx from ORD in April). Mid-week June flights from STL are up to $579 including taxes, but better than the $679 they have been running.
I feel like I'm talking to myself...

cakelee - I agree 33 minutes is possible and don't doubt you did it just fine.
But.....
I would guess that an international connection at IAH would be missed 50% of the time. I wouldn't purposefully book it.
I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.
