Yes, it is possible to fly all the way into Utila! Here’s what you need to know for connecting flights to Utila:
A) Flights connect from San Pedro Sula (SAP) to Utila, on Monday, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays with SOSA airlines at 2:30pm.
You can book these directly with SOSA airlines, but we suggest going through Frank at Morgan’s Travel or Alice at Worldwide Travel.
B) Please note that there are NO connecting flights to Utila from San Pedro Sula on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
On these days you can either stay in San Pedro Sula, or fly/bus/taxi to La Ceiba and stay the night there to catch the 9:30am Utila Princess ferry the next morning.

On a personal note, what Utila Guide webmaster does is fly into SAP, stay the night at La Posada B and B, (they will pick you up from airport and nominal fee and take you to bus station next day for free) and then bus to La Ceiba the next morning with Hedman Alas to catch the 4pm Utila Princess ferry.
