I was able to take my family to Belize in 2005 for $215 each on US Air out of St. Louis. Don't think I'll find that one again.

In 2006 we went JFK to Cologne, Germany for $226 each. The flight was free, all we paid was the taxes and fees. Don't think this one will show up again, either.

Of course, the reason I'm on this board right now is that we'd love to make it to Belize for Spring Break next year. The prices are depressing!

Interesting side note to this discussion: Booking tickets from Belize to US...August - October. Great flight out of Cancun to Miami $229.00 (one way, leaves late so no overnight in MX), Miami to ORD $118, ORD to LAX $159, LAX - DFW $129, DFW - MIA $79
Total $714

Now comes the hard part. For date in OCtober for MIA to BZE, Ticket is $630 (one way without tax).

Seems to me, domestic travel in the US is not all that expensive now, given general economics....it's the ticket to BZE that hurts. Same date MIA to Quito Equador one way $343.49 one way. Dont tell me that flight to BZE takes more gas than flying to Quito.....

Routing is always so confussing..I just checked for last minute flights for friends from SFO. 2 day advance which is usually expensive..$670 R.T including all taxes from SFO to BZE...CRAZY....

In March, PHX to BZE was $522 RT, yesterday the cheapest was $708!

On Continental it is less expensive to fly from Houston to Costa Rica than to Belize by about $150.

you don't wanna know what I just paid for tix mid-fall & mid-winter

Why not ?

I checked Belize to Toronto for 2 weeks in November.. $776 and $818 were cheapest - by the bottom of page 2 results it hit over a grand. Damn looks like we will have to take a pass on winter again.

I am glad I booked my november trip in February and got the $538.00 rate and even less expensive for the kids. Had I known I would have tried to by blocks of tickets.

Same here. Our trip from Toronto for Feb. was about $660 and now over $900 rtn.
