Don't think it is stated in the posted article above. Anyways, it doesn't appear that CO will be joining the *Alliance until well into 2009. I will be looking forward to it, though... I'll eventually be able to credit my mileage to BZE on CO to United... or redeem my UA miles for a CO flight to BZE.

We are looking to travel to Belize in April of next year. We will be flying out of Detroit Metro and the airfare has gone up. I saw it about the same price you said a few weeks ago, but today not so much. I wish I had a crystal ball to predict the fares 6 months from now. But time will tell.

here's your crystal ball....airfare is going up - unless there is a sale. Keep checking daily and when you see a sale with applicable dates, purchase immediately!

airfare is expected to go up, however there are still locations which you'll find lower than usual. For example Phily and Newark to BZE was over $650 the past half year and right now through Sept prices are mid 500s. I've also been looking at South America flights and one location which was $1200+ is now $795 for the next two months.
