The Caribbean country of Belize is gaining a lot of attention to vacationers in the know — because while it offers lush vegetation and beautiful beaches all year long, it’s also surprisingly easy to get to. Travelers have plenty of options for direct flights into the country, and there are a number of options for getting where you need to go. Here’s everything you need to know before booking your flight.

When to Fly

No matter where you’re coming from, the availability of flights is going to depend on the time of year. Tourist season runs from November into April, and many airlines only offer flights during this period. You’ll find more direct flights from more cities during these months. On the contrary side, flying during the off season will typically allow you to get better deals on tickets, although you may have to work a little harder to find a flight that’s convenient to you.

Direct Flights From North America

All three North American countries offer direct flights into Belize, and chances are good that you can at least catch a connecting flight from any decently sized airport in North America. Here’s what you need to know about traveling in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

• Alaska, United, American, and Delta airlines all provide direct flights in the United States throughout the entire year. Those who decide to travel during the peak season can also take advantage of flights from Southwest, Frontier, and Sun Country Airlines.
• The only non-stop flights available out of Canada are offered by WestJet. Unfortunately, they only fly during the high season — so you’ll likely have to make a transfer in the U.S., Mexico, or Latin America from May to October.
• Tropic Airline — an airline created explicitly for travel to and from Belize — provides direct flights from Cancun. They depart twice a day and are a sensible option if you need to schedule a connecting flight.

Flights From Europe

You won’t find any direct flights coming into Belize from Europe or the United Kingdom, but American Airlines offers a regular flight that leaves from Heathrow and stops at Miami. It’s the most convenient option that doesn’t require an overnight connection. Cancun is also a popular connection point.

Of course, once you land in Belize City, you’ll need to find somewhere to stay. Placencia Peninsula is regularly called “The Island You Can Walk To”, and it offers some of the most pristine beaches in the country. And if you want to make the most of your stay, book your trip at Chabil Mar. We’ll roll out the red carpet for you and your whole party.

According to researchers investigating honeymoon behaviors for the website Hunyfund.com, newlywed couples share an interest in doing 10 things when they plan their post-wedding getaways. Their goals are:

1. Decompressing from the stress of surviving the ceremony/reception.
2. Relaxing – this can take a couple of days for couples whose nuptials were especially stressful.
3. Figuring out what they’d like to do to improve their relationship.
4. Indulging in adventures unique to their honeymoon spot.
5. Splurging on the occasional extravagance while still keeping an eye on their budget.
6. Agreeing to deal with conflicts as they arise; no “waiting until we get home.”
7. Giving each other space for solo experiences (she gets spa treatments; he goes diving).
8. Becoming immersed in the culture of the place they choose for their honeymoon.
9. Expecting the occasional snafu while staying so flexible, you laugh about it.
10. Talking about the future. After all, you’ve got plenty of time to dream during your escape!

Can you do all of those things on your honeymoon?

The answer is a resounding yes if you visit a Caribbean vacation spot that takes just a few hours to reach from southern U.S. hubs by coming to Belize.

If you were around in the 1800s, your doctor might have completed your physical examination by prescribing time on the beach. Relying upon that era’s scientific research, beaches were considered major therapeutic hubs for all sorts of ailments. That remains true today, even in a world eager to dispense pills over natural remedies!

Where to rehabilitate your mind, body and spirit after what feels like years of being sequestered during the pandemic? There’s only one answer to that question and it’s Belize. When the nation’s tourism entities issued news that Belize would re-open to tourists on August 15, 2020, people began writing their own prescriptions for vacations and you are probably thinking of doing the same.

Knowing that Placencia’s most popular resort, Chabil Mar, will open for business is long-awaited news. Whether you’ve never visited Belize or come often, knowing that the Placencia peninsula is the trendiest area in the nation could incentivize you to visit Chabil Mar later in the year or in 2021, if you’re not quite ready to travel now.
