Since the travel boom started over the summer, Belize has been rapidly expanding partnerships for increased flight service out of cities like Los Angeles and Seattle, even welcoming inaugural carriers to the country in 2021. In November, Alaska Airlines began its inaugural service to Belize, while Frontier Airlines launched two non-stop new routes this month. In total, the new routes (along with existing ones) will increase Belize’s network to 16 international destinations out of the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE), marking a steady growth since its reopening in October 2020.
Maximize your vacation time with any of these non-stop routes to Belize: each U.S. hub is listed in alphabetical order, so find your origin city and match it with your carrier of choice. After, all that’s left is to pack your carry-on with the Caribbean essentials and go.
