✈️ Flights to Roatan and Bay Islands
🚀 Quick Navigation - Find Your Flights
📋 MANDATORY CUSTOMS DECLARATION: Before flying to Honduras, you MUST complete an online customs declaration form. This can be done up to 10 days before your flight at: Honduras Customs Portal. When filling out the form, Roatan airport is listed as "Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport."
🏝️ KEY TRAVEL INSIGHT: Roatan is the only Bay Island with an international airport, making it much easier to reach than Utila. Getting to/from Utila in one day is very challenging since their airport closed to scheduled flights.
💡 Money-Saving Tip: Use Google Flights to find the cheapest options. Avoid Saturdays if possible due to extremely busy queues at Roatan airport!
💰 Advanced Money-Saving Strategy - Skip-Lagging: When searching for USA flights to Roatan, try connecting flights from Baltimore, New Orleans, Montreal, Orlando, Toronto, Phoenix, and Colorado Springs - they often come up significantly cheaper! Consider booking separate one-way tickets using "hidden city routing." This works especially well for return legs since you must collect checked luggage when entering the USA anyway.
🎯 Essential Travel Tips
⚠️ IMPORTANT VISA ALERT: Check your entry stamp immediately! Roatan immigration officers may give less than the standard 90-day entry visa. Have your return flight printout ready to show them.
Seasonal Variations: November to April offers the most flight choices and is the busiest season. Flight options are significantly reduced during low season.
Direct vs Connecting: Direct flights to Roatan are often slightly more expensive than connecting through San Pedro Sula, but they're much less hassle. If you miss your mainland connection, hotel and transport costs often exceed the price difference.
