Lauri -
I think you have the right attitude :p With that frame of mind, you will have a WONDERFUL time in Belize. Things don't always go exactly as planned - and that can apply to any airline or restaurant or anything else for that matter. I can tell you are the type to go with the flow and that's the best attitude to take to Belize. wink I honestly would not worry at all about your flight. We felt we were in good hands with TACA. Have a GREAT time on your trip - and be sure and let us all know how it went afterwards. laugh cool smile

TACA has had 0 fatalities in 250,000 flights giving them a perfect A rating. However, it is hard to compare them to some of the American airliners because the number of flights is so much smaller. Southwest for example has 0 fatalities in 9.5 million flights. Also there are some other scoring systems out there that incorporate non-fatal incidents and near misses in the rating that might give a clearer picture on safety...

Can anyone comment on the safety of the domestic carriers? I'll be flying from Belize City to Placencia, and I think I have two choices, Maya Air and Tropical Air (?), and I was just going to pick one out of a hat, as the fares look the same online ($70)

Danny Boy,
I have flown to most everywhere in Belize that both Maya and Tropic fly. Both have excellent pilots with good experience in short field airports. Maya has some older equipment but appears to be well kept and they are upgrading with newer. Tropic has most of the newer and larger planes. They work so closely together that I have flown on in country flights where the other air line carried my luggage. It was on the ground about the same time I was. Either are good, get to Belize soon and enjoy.
