Unfortunately, Roatan is just not an easy, convenient or inexpensive flight destination for those of us flying from the Pacific NW or even from California. I was just there this past August. Saving grace for me was that the flight was paid for as a business expense. I did the United flight from LAX to Houston on a Friday, spent the night in the Airport Marriott and then got on the United flight Saturday morning into RTB. The other option was a redeye Friday night into Houston with the connecting flight Saturday. I don't do well with Red Eye's, so opted to get into Houston at a reasonable time Friday and get a good night's sleep in the airport hotel and arrive fresh and rested.
I considered all of the alternative options, but none of them made sense to me for various reasons.
All of that to say... it is just a pain in the behind to get there and if you wait, prices might come down into the $850 to $950 range-- probably never going to get less than that. But, they also shouldn't go any higher than the current $1280 RT. So, I would advise to wait and keep checking in hopes of rates coming down between now and the spring. You have some time still.
