Creating even more connectivity between Belize and the U.S. West Coast, United Airlines will soon be offering direct flights from San Francisco. According to a release from the Belize Tourism Board, the new direct flight route will begin on Saturday, December 21, 2024. Travelers hoping to enjoy some Belizean sun and hospitality will be able to fly from the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to the Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) in just a few hours.

“We are confident this direct connection will significantly boost tourism arrivals from the San Francisco Bay Area,” said Minister of Tourism and Diaspora Relations, Hon. Anthony Mahler.
Beyond just the Bay Area, a slew of new and increased direct flights have been making travel to Belize a whole lot easier. When it comes to the U.S. West Coast, specifically, travelers will now be able to enjoy direct flights out of Los Angeles (LAX) with Alaska Airlines as well as San Francisco with United Airlines.
