Travel/Tickets: USA versus Honduras in San Pedro Sula, Honduras (10/10/2009)

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

Found some on taca for 460 with taxes and all from LAX. If a lot of people get in on this I'll consider.

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

American has fares to San Pedro Sula from NYC for around $240. im hoping to head down, we will see what my schedule is like

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

Wow 240? I'm assuming that's JFK? Hell I'll happily fly out of there instead. I hope there's atleast a decent group of Americans going.

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

I think we have three threads going on this topic and flights from DC are $255.

bump

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

LGA or JFK. fly through MIA....

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

I wonder why fares are so much lower from the East Coast than the West Coach?

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

It is because it is closer.

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

Right, JFK is San Pedro Sula is 1850 miles, and LAX is 2880. I thought LAX would be closer.

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

Really? That's hard to even picture, I gotta breakout google earth.

Heres a small family owned place, Ive checked its reviews on multiple sites, people seem to love it. Its also a cheap price (under 100 bucks a night)

I'd like to go, but frankly, I'd like to also not be the only asshole there wearing red. So I want to see how many other people are going. But I'm VERY up for heading down there.

I'd probably be staying at the Intercontinental, I remember seeing someone mention that hotel previously. I'm looking at flights out of Newark and JFK that fly through Miami (where I will meet up with a friend on the same flight) and get in Friday afternoon.

you should really go.....the football atmosphere is going to be "stoke"!

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

i'll most likely make the trip down there, but I haven't booked anything yet.

 

Re: USA vs Honduras October 11th Who's Going?

I have no doubt in my mind it'll be an incredible experience.

 

Re: USA vs Honduras October 11th Who's Going?

3-0 but hey what can you do?

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

Isnt Honduras in the middle of a political coup right now?

 

Re: Who's going to San Pedro Sula?

If you've got the time, the Bay Islands are a great place to do some diving. When we traveled through Honduras in 2004, getting PADI certification on Utila was $164, one of the cheapest places in the world.

Also, be aware that the rate of AIDS/HIV in San Pedro Sula is ridiculously high, so jimmy hats and whatnot if you get lucky with any of the locals.

In other words, keep it in your pants for a few days.
