kcb911 Posted April 16, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2014 How likely is it to be able to walk up and buy 2 tickets from Belize Municipal to San Pedro? I'm a little hesitant to book in advance in case we don't make port for whatever reason or are running late that morning. Thanks!

Rare crewsweeper Posted April 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I'd say your best bet is to contact Tropicair directly. http://www.tropicair.com/en-us/contactus.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcb911 Posted April 18, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I tried that and got an answer that made no sense (some other itinerary and price). I was just hoping somebody here could tell me they had done it, or the airstrip is busy on cruise ship days...

Pssunshinegal Posted April 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I had hoped that Wade would jump in here because he works for Tropic Air, but since he didn't, I will answer. Tropic air flies hourly to San Pedro. You do not list when your cruise is so the only question I would have, are you going to be there on a holiday when everyone wants to go to San Pedro. If not, then you should have no problem. BUT I do not believe that Tropic requires even your credit card to make a reservation. I think you can make a reservation and just pay when you get to the desk. You may have to call to make this reservation, but there is an 800 number. I think if you use the online site, they do ask for a credit card but I could be wrong there. With an unpaid reservation, they hold your seat until 30-45 minutes before the flight. I live in San Pedro and I usually call the day before, but I know many people just show up and get on a plane and if not that one, the one the next hour. From International they just keep adding planes. This is not true from Municipal. So check to see if it is a Belize holiday that you are going to be there or post your date and I will tell you if you are likely to have a problem, or just make a reservation for the day and time you want. Once you get there, you can make a DEFINITE return time as that is the most important reservation. Have a great time in San Pedro. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcb911 Posted April 19, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Janice, Thank you so much! We will be there April 30th. I will call and see if they will take the reservation the way you mentioned. That would be great! We are planning to take the earliest tender (Princess shows us in port at 6am ship time, so should be plenty early for the 7:30 flight).

Pssunshinegal Posted April 19, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Well I can't see that April 30th is a holiday so you really shouldn't have a problem, but hopefully you can make a reservation without a credit card. Enjoy San Pedro. Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podie Posted April 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Mayan Island Air also has hourly flights. I've had great experiences with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcb911 Posted April 22, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Thank you for the advice. I was able to make a phone reservation for our flights today without a deposit- exactly what I was hoping for! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
