I was think more of renting a car in Cancun and driving to Chetumal....I've made that drive before...it's about 4 hours and great roads.

Mike, I think I heard that Maya was going to discontinue there flights from Cancun to BZE.  But they are going to start a flight from a couple of US cities, one in Mississippi and one in Florida I believe.  The more possibilities the better I say.  Driving down to Chetumal would be an option.  Mexico is not for me because I travel with my dog.

If Maya decides to fly out of Fort Myers Florida I'll become a regular visitor...real regular Grin   
Until then I'm waiting on the ferry....Tampa Bay is only 1 1/4 hrs from my retirement home.

From Ambrigis Daily, however according to the other board this may or may not be true.  I also heard this from a worker of Maya.

The Ambergris Daily is renowned for posting half truths, innuendo, rumours, gossip, misconceptions and conjecture.

Maya Island Air to Fly Daily to The USA Maya Island Air has leased a 737, is currently arranging to fly it from New Orleans to Belize International, and then onto Fort Lauderdale. This is to be a daily flight, and it is hoped that they will start before easter.

Without a doubt this is the most exciting news that the tourism sector has had in the last few years because this is really going to bring another 1000 people a week to Belize. Over a decade ago there was a bi-weekly flight from Louisanna, and the flights were stopped, but now with the problems in Mexico we believe that it will be a very popular route.


The flight from Fort Lauderdale to Beliuze International will reputedly be much less expensive from the Miami one and it is hoped that the budget travelers will use this rather than going elsewhere. Maya’s representatives are convinced that the planes will have good loads as their research many people wish to come to Belize but they find that the current flight prices from Miami are just too high.

For the second day in succession we at the Ambergris Daily find ourselves congratulating one of our local airlines in promoting and giving tourism a huge boost. Congratulations to all at Maya Island Air.
