So glad I'm never going there again. While my 2 weeks diving experience was disappointing, the airport experience was horrific.

Do to the numerous complaints, the Honduran Pre-registration will no longer get you into the express lane at the Roatan airport. When we first started doing this, all hotels, inns, etc received a notification on the program. We have no way to determine if it went the the "correct person" or correct e-mail, but the notices were went out.
We received many complaints from passengers about why does THAT person get to go into the express lane and we don't. We tried to explain that they had filled out an online form and it was up to their hotel/resort etc. to let them know about it, but passengers have continued to be quite belligerent about it. So, the "higher ups" have decided that while doing the pre-registration will save you a few minutes at the immigration agent, you will not be directed into the express lane unless you are handicapped, or are a Honduran resident.
We are headed there next week. I forgot to pre-register (it was in my calendar!) and now it seems like I would have wasted my time.Is this still the current status on pre-registration? Those who pre-register will be in the same line as those who do not pre-register?
Headed there in 3 weeks and really disappointed to come back and read the updates on this thread. Anyone been lately with pre-registration?
