I'm in the process of making reservations (still haven't decided on Tropic or Maya) to get from the international airport in Belize City to AC. If our flight from San Salvador is due in at 9:50 a.m. on a Saturday, any idea how long it will take to collect bags, go through customs, etc? Should I go for the 10:40 a.m. flight to AC, or is less than an hour not enough time? (I understand the airport is pretty small. When I think "international airport" I picture Los Angeles or Honolulu. BIG airports.)

I Had no prob. Tropic is fine. You should have no problem.

if for some reason your flight gets in late or it takes longer to clear customs, no problem. Tropic Air flies every hour so you could just catch a later flight. Keep your early flight, more time on the island.

I usually give clients an hour to clear customs, etc. The 10:40 should be OK unless Taca is late (which they often are). If you are a worrier, book the 11:40. If you get in early enough to make the 10:40 and there are seats available, they will put you on the earlier flight.

kelly - that's the TACA flight I always take - I've never had a problem making the 10:30 Tropic flight - in fact have always had time to have my first rum punch(s) at Jet's!

here's to drinking before noon.

I'll drink to that! Cheers!

OK, bottoms up.

Keep 'em coming!

only the hard stuff.
