World travellers that we are…. we are always looking for ways to make our $$$ stretch further! Which is why we chose to fly from Seattle to Belize instead of Vancouver…… yes YVR is a beautiful airport but why do flights from there very often cost $100’s more? By going through Seattle we saved almost $400!
However how do you get to Seattle? You can persuade a good friend to drive you, which would be nice but not practical as it is 3 hours there and3 hours back, plus the wait at the border of course.
Instead we looked at taking a shuttle……… there is a new kid on the block who instead of charging $54 per person and take over 6 hours, charges $10 and gets you there in 4 hours.
Do yourself a favour and check out the Bolt Bus run by Greyhound operating in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest, they run a fast efficient service, loads of leg room and free Wifi! However they do not go direct to Seattle’s SeaTac airport……. to get there walk off the bus into the station and catch the Light Rail Transit out to the airport for the princely sum of $2.75.
Saving over $400 has never been easier!
The moral of this tale is be open and research all the possibilities, not just the tried and true.
