Finding a cheap flight to Belize is easier than ever, so if you put a little effort into comparing different flights to Belize, it could mean big savings in the end. For visitors to Belize who are coming from North America, the trip is relatively short. Since there are a good amount of direct flights to Belize from U.S. cities like Miami, Dallas, and Charlotte, you can be in Belize in just a few hours.

Most Belize flights involve a layover of some kind, especially if you are coming from outside of the United States. This, of course, doesn't apply to most of the other Central American countries, which do offer plenty of direct flights. A good amount of U.S. visitors to Belize will even have to experience a layover in one of the U.S. cities that offers direct flights to Belize, or in any one of the Central American capital cities. If you are departing from, or laying over in Miami, which is common, you're just a 2-hour's flight away from starting your Belize vacation! Although Belize City is no longer the capital of the country, it is still the main Belize transportation, cultural, and financial hub. All international flights to Belize arrive in Belize City at the Philip Goldson International Airport. This airport is located some 11 miles outside of town, so you can either take a taxi to your Belize City hotel if you are staying here, or you can arrange for transportation to your accommodations with the hotel itself. Many Belize hotels, especially the luxury Belize hotels, will provide your transportation between the hotel and the airport as part of the rates, even if you are staying a few hours away at one of the San Ignacio hotels, for example. Some Belize visitors will prefer renting a car right away, which can be done at the Belize City international airport.
