***Do NOT USE the following website !!! http://www.tacaairlines.co.uk/ It is not official TACA site and worst of all they change the original quoted price and send your credit card details without https (no encryption)***

In general it makes sense to fly through a North American Gateway city. These you will find about by doing a general search for flights in the sites below. For example flying from Miami gives you the opportunity to change carrier to Taca Airlines. However it may be cheaper using Continental via Houston as then you don't need to change carrier and Continental though they are fighting hard Taca for bottom spot in terms of quality just loose out as they are slightly better and less likely to loose your luggage. But in most cases unless you live in North America then you will probably have to stop overnight on at least one leg probably getting there.

From the USA or From Canada

Continental Airlines has direct flights from Houston and New York to Roatan on Saturdays. They have daily flights to San Pedro Sula (on the mainland) where Roatan connections can be made. Continental has added a once-a-week direct Roatan flight to Roatan from New York.

Delta Airlines has direct flights from Atlanta on Saturdays.

Spirit Air Flies to San Pedro Sula, then you need to get to Roatan which can be a couple of days travel unless you land early enough to make last ferry from La Ceiba at 4:30pm.

Sunwing Airlines Canadian Tourists Connection

Sunwing flies charters from Toronto to Roatan on Mondays leaving Toronto at 6:20 AM and arrives at 9:05 AM.  Departs Roatan to Tornonto at 11:10 AM arriving Toronto at 4:15 PM. Be sure to call them for short notice rates at 800 761-1711 Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm in Toronto.


From Europe to Roatan

To get into Roatan from Europe direct is almost impossible unless you can get on the charter but it usually requires a stop over in Milan or Rome. You can fly into Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula from most international carriers.
Another popular method that is enjoyable is overnight in Houston or Miami.

For the direct from Italy charter check google for 'Blue Panorama' and 'Neos Air'

There are some charter flights that leave Italy but the websites seem to come and go Neos air, blue panorama have been in the past. Obviously these flights are not meant to be booked by anyone other than Italian holidaymakers however I myself have cheap flight into Milan then overnight and resumed in the morning direct to Roatan. This was working out around the same price as going via the USA.
So flying via Miami or Houston may be the best option for you bear in mind that a transfer even if you don't leave the airport in Houston will require you to clear immigration and do the ESTA visa waiver online.

From within Central America.

Taca offers the better options as they fly into Roatan directly. You can travel by bus to La Ceiba the ferry. To note that there are around 3 flights daily from within Honduras to Roatan from San Pedro Sula or La Ceiba or Tegucigalpa.
