Sean and Zak,
Sounds like a plan to me! I just purchased TACA tickets as a round trip from New Orleans to Roatan for $668! This is called high-jacking compared to flights to the Caymans and several other Caribbean destinations from New Orleans, which are in the $200 - $300 price range. TACA definately needs to lead the way in competative air fares to Roatan. Maybe some of those business owner/politicos will approach TACA with the same message. What about a petition? What do you think it will take to get reasonable air fares to Roatan?
