I'm trying to buy tickets to Belize City from Seattle for my sons, after Christmas. I keep waiting for the fares to come down a bit...but I'm starting to get nervous. I know that ultimately it's a crap shoot, but does anyone have any information on the expected trend for airfare? Come on you Anti's and all others. Let's hear it!

Hi to all of my board friends...the best friends I've never met. Hey NY! You need a haircut. Chloe gal {{{hug}}}, SS nice hearing from you today. Denny, Ernie, KLC, Law, Bill, SIN, Gay, Deacon, Gela etc,etc...hope you are ALL well.

I can see you!!!! I can see you Denny!!!! You feeling ok? My Haley is having a great year. Knowing what you do about stroke injuries, picture this: Haley is a cheerleader! I'm not sure how she'll do, but you have to admit, she's got nerve! I hope you are well.

Hi, Teenah! Miss the updates about you and Haley. Trip for the boys sounds fun - how much of a gambler are you? My experience is about 45 days out is as cheap as you are gonna get - but I only know from California, so who knows what that's worth! smile

Chloe: The price from Mil. is pretty good. What kind of surgery do you have to have to qualify?
Posted By: Chloe Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/10/06 01:31 PM
Krehfish, trust me you would not want THAT surgery, even for a free ticket. After 6 cycles of chemo, cleanup surgery on bladder and lymph nodes.

Ticket price seemed reasonable to me, too.

and T! What else ya want me to say?? :p
Posted By: Denny Shane Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/10/06 02:36 PM
Teenah, seriously, I am estatic about Haley! A cheerleader? Good Lord, watch the boys all falling all over now! eek

Hey Teenah - nice to hear from you. As for airfares - don't know what to tell you. I hope that you find something that works for your pocket book.

Some day, I hope to see you on AC again laugh

Klc, sorry did not notice til now, you might have been asking this Mom that question?
Posted By: klcman Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/11/06 02:59 AM
Yup
Posted By: Chloe Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/11/06 03:04 AM
Oh I thought so! HA!
Posted By: J DOG Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/11/06 11:38 AM
Paid $550 last Feb.06, Paid $739 for this Feb.07,
could of got it for $658 but did'nt like the ideal of 2 stops & changing air lines & arriving at 4pm. leave Dayton Oh. at 6:15am. have 1 stop & get to Bze. at 11:39am. for the $739.
Is it worth the extra bucks? Hell yes!!

who knows but I would guess "going up." Also Continental just announced that as of March 31 they are no longer offering "net" or bulk fares to the consolidators (only for a few high producing ones) so that should change things a bit - probably for the worse. Buy now or soon - if it goes down significantly with a sale, you can re issue and get the credit (has to go down over $100 per ticket at least to make it worthwhile)

My consolidator just told me that they lost their bulk fare arangement with AA.
Prices from Miami to Belize are terrible.

Yikes - better grab our tickets for end of Jan. Last year paid $1700 CDN each (21 days notice), now around $1200. Was hoping they'd go lower, but sounds like not. Thanx.
Posted By: PalapaBob Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/11/06 11:23 PM
Geez, still about $750.00 from Mi. Doesn't appear it's going down much.

Hi Teenah,I just did a search earlier via Cont. from Portland,OR..RT is $832,with a change-over in Houston...not bad.It will get higher as the holidays approach...Good luck..
Posted By: J DOG Re: What is your hunch??? - 10/13/06 02:53 PM
Just saw some lower airfares on Orbitz Day- Bze $628 all taxes incl.
