New Flights to Roatan

Sirto:

I just saw that Continental will be adding a second flight to Roatan on Saturdays starting 12/18.

Flight 1864 from Houston leaves at 12:50 and arrives at 3:44 (vs 12:24 for the early flight - due to change to daylight standard time)

The return flight 1865 leaves Roatan at 4:30 (vs 1:24) and arrives in Houston at 7:20

This may help some people who can't get to Houston early enough for the first flight without staying overnight in Houston.

Just read in a Canadian publication that Air Transat will be doing charter flights from TO to Honduras starting Dec 2004 until April 2005.

I spoke to Air Transat - flights are on Saturdays from Toronto to Roatan (departure at 7 a.m., arrive around 11 a.m.) on an airbus operated by WestJet (flight 1370). Return flight (1371) leaves around noon and gets into TO around 5:30 p.m. for $829+taxes (so approximately $920 Cdn).

seating with non-gourmet food but a non-stop flight that is reasonable. I figure the charter is about $100 less than a Toronto-Miami-Roatan with no chance of missing diving because of a missing a connection.

I confirmed availability with Air Transat through their reservation line ($920 inclusive for February 26-March 5). The flight, however, is operated by WestJet.

I haven't flown with WestJet but I figure most charters are pretty much the same. Tight seating with non-gourmet food but a non-stop flight that is reasonable. I figure the charter is about $100 less than a Toronto-Miami-Roatan with no chance of missing diving because of a missing a connection.

And with our dollar approaching par (80 cents +) I might be able to afford some extras in Roatan.

Westjet is a low cost airline out of Calgary that is making waves in Canadian airline industry - one of the few that are actually making money. Westjet Charter, which would be the part of Westjet going into Roatan, is phenomenal. We took them on a trip to Mayan Riviera last year and were very impressed. Leather seats, boxed lunch (but gourmet with foccacia bread). Excellent service. Very reliable. Lots of knee room. Don't ever be afraid to fly them. The stew crew are quite funny if you are in party mode - usually more so on way down than way up (that is, party mode)!
