[This information is subject to change esecially with the more local airlines and services] There is talk of a direct flight from Madrid to Roatan and also from London Gatwick to Roatan but we will have to see. It is now easier than ever to get to Roatan. The newly expanded Roatan International Airport (RTB) sees many direct international and local flights every week. Delta airlines now runs direct flights from Atlanta, Continental runs two direct flights a week from Houston and Taca has it’s direct Miami flights. American Airlines flies into San Pedro Sula direct from New York. Taca, Islena, Atlantic and Sosa Airlines all have daily connecting flights to all International hubs in Central America. A short hop to San Pedro Sula or San Salvador connects you to every major city in the world. There is a weekly direct charter from Milan, and now WestJet is seasonally offering direct charter flights through Conquest Vacations from Toronto. This idyllic, unknown gem of the Caribbean is being re-discovered. Contacts for info/reservations: Departure: There is a departure tax of U.S. $36.00 per person, payable in cash. It takes approximately 40 minutes from West Bay Village to the airport, so allow yourself plenty of time. Be sure to reconfirm your reservation before departure. We can organize your trip back to the airport once you are here.
Ferry Service: If you are coming overland through La Ceiba, the regular ferry service: Safeways “Galaxy” (504 445-1795), departs for Roatan every day at 10am and 4pm. The trip takes two hours, and returns to La Ceiba every day at 7am and 1pm. (Pay the extra few dollars for the option of 1st class with A/C and refreshments). Pick-up from the ferry dock in Dixon Cove can also be arranged. West Bay is somewhat isolated and so you may wish to rent a car. Let any hotel you have booked know in advance and they may help book something for you or pick you up.
