Any recommendations on the cheapest way to fly to Roatan, specifically from Seattle?
I'm planning on arriving at RTB on July 2, departing July 20. Using Travelocity, the cheapest I can find is $1,280 on United via Houston. Expedia quotes prices a couple hundred cheaper, but when you click through to buy it more than doubles the price. ("Oops, the price changed! Buy quickly!")
I think I can get the Expedia prices by buying an Alaska Air ticket to LAX, then a United ticket from LAX to RTB. But that means (I think) having to recover a checked bag and re-check it. (Anybody have experience in the "buying two separate tickets from two different airlines" drill? I'm presuming I can't check in at Alaska, show my tickets, and get it checked all the way through as I would if I'd booked all the travel in one transaction?)
Any other brilliant sources? The Kayaks of the world don't seem to do any better. At best, they quote a reasonable price that disappears when you click through.
(Did I mention I paid less than a grand to fly to Bali in August? Airline pricing never ceases to amaze me....)
