AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Travel air fare trouble

Hi all,
Thanks for the info about places to stay.We made all the arrangements for travel to San Pedro, and will arrive Sept14 for a week. However, we just recieved word that USAirways has cancelled our flights so we secured alternate travel through continental.It sounds like a major mess. Now we have to go to USairways and have them transfer tickets to Continental, then have Continental turn that info into paper tickets. Not an easy thing to do since we're at least 2 hours from a major airport. The question I have is has anyone else had this type of problem with USAIRWAYS or has anyone heard what the trouble may be. Thanks for the help.See ya'll in September!

Sorry you are having such a problem. Another airlines did this same thing to my husband about a year ago, and we made the 3 hour drive to Jacksonville FL, only to find out that we needed to make the 4 hour trip to Atlanta. What a mess.
I do know that US Air has cut their flights into Belize City, for the slow season.
Good luck!!

Oh my!!! Guess I better check w/US Air as we have a scheduled flight next Sun

wow, this post really scared me. I'm leaving on Thursday thru U.S. Air and called both travelocity and U.S. Air to confirm. I'm confirmed for now, but I think I'll call everyday until thursday for peace of mind. I know that sucks, and I hope you work out alternate arrangements without incurring add'l costs.

SanHam,

WHERE ARE YOU FLYING OUT OF. WE TOO ARE LEAVING THURSDAY ON US AIRWAYS AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN CALLING THE AIRLINE. IF YOU HAVE ANY NEWS PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT [email protected]. HOPE TO MEET YOU IN SAN PEDRO. ALSO, LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING WITH EVERYONE ELSE TOO. RBJ

Rosemary,

I'm leaving out of Detroit Thursday morning and connecting into Charlotte,NC. Travelocity confirmed my flight and said they had not heard of this flight in particular being canceled from the airlines. They then suggested I call the airlines direct and confirm. I did, and they confirmed that everything was on schedule. However, I think I'll call everyday to be sure. Would they cancel a flight so close? I'll be on the mainland for three days and then I'll be on AC on the 24th just in time for BC's BBQ -I'm staying at Banyan Bay. What about you?

SANHAM,

WE'RE LEAVING FROM ATLANTA AND ALSO CONNECTING IN NC ~1050. WE'RE GOING STRAIGHT TO THE ISLAND AND WILL BE THERE FOR A LOOOOONNNNGGG TIME. CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY FIRST GLIMPSE OF THE ISLAND; SINCE WE ARE FIRST-TIMERS, BUT NOT LAST-TIMERS. THANKS FOR THE INFO. RBJ
