AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Talk Belize Travel Visit on the cheap...

I guess we are fortunate in as much because of my business that I accumulate Continental air miles up the yang yang........we fly from Seattle to Belize first class for $543.00 plus 30,000 air miles each. Everything we buy goes on our Continental Airlines credit card.

Oh yeah, now I have enough points/miles, for a free Feb. ticket.
woohoo!!!!

Chloe, you have to work the system while you can.....I wonder about the longevity of the mileage programs.

Elbert, I see the same thing on the link as you typed, but it's dated March 15...my tickets are more this year too, but I figure that when you spread it out over a couple of weeks, it doesn't seem as bad. You can't take it with you. I bought last week for August just in case prices keep going up. Worst case, I'll just make it a one way ticket and stay! Hope to meet some of you nice folks while I'm there.

SweetJane,
What site did you use for PHL to BZE at $652 or what time of year. I am have been looking everyday and they are in the $700's.

Thanks,


Renee

Definitely use the miles as you accumulate enough for a ticket. Industry buzz is that those freq flyer program's days are numbered...

renee - you piqued my curiosity.

i use cheaptickets.com, and booked for august. when i looked a month ago, prices were the same (more or less) till the end of the year.

when i looked today, august was still $650, but sept, oct, nov all were over $730. you are right. things are changing.

get 'em while they're hot, folks!

lowest from boston i found for february or april $725.00 if you are willing to travel mid-week it comes out cheaper. This is not much different then we have been paying maybe $100.00 but that is a fee issue not ticket price.

Guess the airfare prices will keep the number of tourists down. In the past there were posts about keeping AC a secret so it didn't become over populated. Those that have visited before will find a way to get there. We love the island and don't want to miss out on our annual visit. Love the message board

prices have skyrocketd from Columbus, but I think it's the domestic portion that's killing me.

D&J -- you are so right. I want to see belize do well, but can't help feeling selfish now and again when I get to have more of it to myself
