The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) has announced the return and expansion of United Airlines’ service to Belize for the upcoming high season. This exciting development provides greater access not only for Belize’s diaspora returning home for the holidays but also for international travelers seeking a tropical getaway to Placencia and beyond. The timing couldn’t be better as Belize continues to shine as one of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations for nature, culture, and adventure.
Expanded United Airlines Belize Service
Starting November 1, 2025, United Airlines will resume direct flights to Belize from:
- Denver (DEN)
- Chicago (ORD)
- Newark (EWR)
These routes will once again connect major U.S. cities with Belize, making it easier for travelers across the Midwest, East Coast, and Mountain West to reach this Central American gem. In addition to these flights, United’s existing daily service from Houston (IAH) will continue, offering convenient access for travelers throughout the southern United States.
Adding even more flexibility, United Airlines will bring back its San Francisco (SFO) service beginning December 20, 2025. This means travelers from the U.S. West Coast will have direct flights available just in time for the holidays, opening Belize to an even broader market of vacationers. For many travelers, this expanded schedule will cut down on layovers and provide quicker access to Belize’s beaches, barrier reef, and inland adventures.
More Flights for the Holiday Season
The expansion comes with an increase in flight frequency during the holiday period, traditionally one of the busiest times for Belize travel. From December 18 through December 31, 2025, United Airlines will operate five daily flights out of Belize. On peak travel days—December 20 and December 27—the airline will add a sixth flight to handle increased demand.
This level of connectivity is a significant benefit for international visitors and Belizeans returning home. Families traveling for Christmas or New Year’s will find more options to fit their schedules, while tourists planning a warm-weather escape from the winter cold will have greater flexibility when booking.
A Win for Belize Tourism and Travelers
United Airlines has long been one of the largest international carriers serving Belize, and this latest announcement further solidifies its role in supporting the country’s tourism growth. Expanded airlift not only benefits travelers but also fuels the economy by making it easier for visitors to experience Belize’s natural wonders, vibrant culture, and welcoming hospitality.
