Non-Stop Caribbean
Date: 03/26/2006
It just became easier for you to get here.
Some great news if you're interested in Honduras--and in the Bay Island of Roatan especially...
Delta Airlines is now operating direct flights to Roatan from Atlanta (from $795 round-trip).
Business owners in the tourism industry have fought for years to break the monopoly TACA airlines had on direct flights between the U.S. and Roatan, and finally the results are paying off...
Last year, Continental Airlines started direct flights from Houston on Saturdays--it now runs two flights every Saturday (from $555 round-trip). TACA continues to fly from Houston on Saturdays and from Miami on Sundays (from $555 round-trip from Houston; $645 from Miami). A 757 charter from Milan lands every Saturday--as does a West Jet charter from Canada.
The latest news from Delta is big...very big, for Roatan...and a sign of greater things to come.

P.S. The Early Bird discount for our Live and Prosper in Honduras Seminar (taking place on Roatan at the Spectacular Mayan Princess Hotel) expires in just four days. After that, you might be able to sign-up for this Master Class on how to take advantage of the best values in the Caribbean right now...but not at such a low price. Take a look.
