Hello everyone-

just joined.  i am currently visiting in Florida and planning a trip to Belize in late November.  So far he cheapest flights out of Miami are around $550us.  I have been told the cheapest way to get there in thru Cancun (less than $200us).  Does anyone know of cheaper air fare to Belize City or is the Cancun?bus thing a pretty good way to go??  Thanks.

It is a time or money thing. Flying into Belize directly is quicker.

Flying into Cancun and taking a bus to Belize is cheaper but takes more time.

Now there is a direct bus from Cancun to Belize City. ADO bus line does it. The bus ride takes 23 hours.

I always go to Cancun and take a bus to Chetumal and then have employees pick me up.

How much is your time worth?

How do you figure 23 hours. Bus leaves Cancun 10:15pm arrives Belize City 6:30 am

Well the sign at the ADO bus terminal in Cancun said 23 hours.

I assumed the sign was correct. I have never taken this bus. I just saw the sign.

I new there were real smart people that can use the internet to check the times and prices.

That sounds like a good airfare price to me i went last December from Houston and the cost was 852us round trip i ask about one way they told me it would only be 50us less.Airfare changes according to time of year and how close it is to a Holiday.

Thanks for the info guys.  I have found that Spirit has the cheapest rates to Cancun 180+us.  They fly out of Ft Lauderdale.

Any recommendations on places to stay in Corozal or Orange Walk area.  I have a guide--Central America on a shoestring--yes money is a main consideration.

Thanks.

IF your looking for something cheap and clean in Corozal I would check out the Sea Breeze Hotel theseabreezehotel.com Gwyn Lawrence the owner is a good guy.

I second the Seabreeze - love Gwyn and the hotel. Awesome location and good breakfasts too. I recommend the front balcony room.

Looey

ive done the trip many times, if you have specific questions let me know.

also some great spots in playa del carmen to stay for a night.

I tried jetradar.com to see what would come up Belize City to Houston and it couldn't find any flights. That's a pretty common trip for most of us expats. Not sure this site is a good one for Belize to States travel. Maybe I was doing something wrong???

most flights from the states are between 500 and 650 us round trip. I fly from portland oregon every year and book our flight 4 to 6 weeks before we want to leave, as long as its not at easter or christmas the prices are always in this range. good luck and happy travels
