Planning a trip to Belize has never been easier. With more airlines adding direct flights and seasonal routes, getting here from North America, Europe, and even nearby destinations like Cancun is more convenient than ever. All international flights land at the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City, where your adventure begins. At Barefoot Services, we believe a stress-free trip starts with clear information, so here’s everything you need to know about flying to Belize in 2025 and beyond.
Direct Flights from North America
Belize continues to see growing connectivity from major cities across the United States and Canada. For Canadian travelers, Air Canada operates seasonal direct flights from Toronto, while WestJet connects both Toronto and Calgary from November through April.
In the U.S., options are even broader. Daily service is available from major hubs with American Airlines (Miami and Dallas), United Airlines (Houston, Newark, Chicago, Denver), Delta Airlines (Atlanta), and Alaska Airlines (Los Angeles and Seattle). Seasonal carriers like Sun Country Airlines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, and Frontier Airlines add extra routes during the busy months of November to April. This means more flexibility, competitive fares, and easier access for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
If you’re flying from Florida, you’ll also benefit from Spirit Airlines’ new Fort Lauderdale–Belize route, offering affordable options and multiple weekly flights. Combined, these routes make Belize a top destination for North American travelers seeking sun, adventure, and cultural richness.
Connections from Europe and Beyond
For European travelers, Belize is now more accessible thanks to convenient connections through U.S. and Canadian hubs. Flights from London Heathrow and other European gateways link to Belize with short stopovers in cities like Miami, Dallas, Houston, or New York. Travelers can also connect through Montreal, with Air Canada offering direct service from Canada to Belize during the winter season. These expanded routes make it easier than ever to reach Belize without long layovers.
Closer to home, Tropic Air operates two daily flights from Cancun to Belize International, which is an excellent option for those combining a Mexico vacation with a Belize adventure. Tropic Air also connects Belize to other regional hubs like Merida, Roatán, San Pedro Sula, and Flores, making it easy to weave Belize into a multi-destination trip.
Finding the Best Flight Deals
Knowing how to search for flights can make a big difference in cost. Tools like Google Flights provide an unbiased look at available routes and fares, while online travel agencies like Expedia and Orbitz give travelers flexible booking options. Still, we recommend checking directly with airlines for the most accurate pricing and promotions.
Here are some practical tips:
- Be flexible by one or two days around your preferred travel dates—this often leads to better deals.
- Book well in advance for high season (December through April), as flights fill quickly.
- Always consider cancellation or travel insurance, since most fares today are non-refundable and non-changeable.
Airlines serving Belize include: Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier Airlines, Avianca Airlines (via El Salvador), Copa Airlines (via Panama City), and Tropic Air. With so many carriers, options for both premium and budget-conscious travelers are plentiful.
Why This Matters for Your Belize Vacation
With so many direct flights and competitive fares, planning your Belize trip is now easier than ever. You can leave from cities like Toronto, New York, or Los Angeles in the morning and be kayaking, snorkeling, or exploring Maya ruins by the afternoon. This level of accessibility has positioned Belize as one of the most convenient tropical destinations for 2025 and beyond.
