Shoe: You could *probably* make either one, but who knows? Book the later one and, if you make it, they may be able to put you on the earlier flight. We ain't talkin' Miami International here, trust me. While you wait, you can find out what Belikins are at Jets Bar, down at the end of the waiting area. It's the local brew, not available anywhere but Belize and a real treat for those of us who travel there. It's as much tradition as anything else (it's not a great beer...unless that's your opinion, then it's fantastic  ). It's just nice to know you can get them because you have to be there to do it, I suppose. Drink one for all of us who aren't there with you!

The wait in line at Tropic has usually been longer than the wait for customs and immigration. We usually figure an hour total worst case. If you miss the Tropic flight, just catch the next one, your reservations mean you paid your money, and they will get you to AC pretty much in the order you check in. Belikin is a good beer, trust me. Even if you tap one at Jet's, it tastes better out of an ice cold bottle on the beach than it does out of a plastic cup in a terminal. 52 hours and counting.

and to make your life even easier, ask your hotel to book it for you...most will and add it to your account, no charge

just came back from ac last wed. customs is a 5 to 10 minute check threw--don't worry about the local flights even if you have a reservation they only put you on the plane in the order that you arrive at the desk...the first to the desk the first on the plane----example coming home i had a 11am flight out of san pedro to bze ,didn't get to the airport untill 12:15 and got on the next plane out.i think they went and added a ten seat plane for me.david

now don't count on this, but my last trip there, I cleared customs, picked up my Tropic ticket, passed through the magnetron and had my first Belikin at Jet's in 16 minutes from the time we were wheels on the ground
