I did a lot of shopping around using the internet and travel agents. I was willing to drive a little if needed to fly out of a bigger airport if the savings was worth it. In this case it did not seem worth it to me.
Turns out that by useing Travelocity I was able to
get creative. The lowest fare left mid week but for not too much more I was able to find a fare of about $600.00 From PDX (Portland, OR) to BZE leaving on Saturday morning and coming back on a Sunday evening.
Do not book round trip to AC. Set that flight up sepparatly. Every time I did a search to AC it was several hundred $$$ more for the $100 or so round trip flight.
You can book online with the local carriers from BZE to AC. Easy and intuitive web sites. Plus the friendly thank you message I got from Mayan air was a nice touch.
