If you have been thinking about a Belize vacation but dreaded the idea of a connecting flight, we have good news. The Belize Tourism Board has announced that WestJet will launch a new nonstop service between Winnipeg Richardson International Airport and Philip Goldson International Airport in Belize City, with the first flight departing December 14, 2026. For travelers in Manitoba and across western Canada, that means one less reason to wait.
The new weekly service joins WestJet’s existing nonstop flights from Toronto and Calgary, making Belize more accessible to Canadian travelers than it has ever been. And for those ready to make the trip, Chabil Mar is ready for you.
What the New Route Means for Canadian Travelers
Direct access changes everything. There is a meaningful difference between a trip that begins with a layover and one that has you stepping off a plane and into warm Caribbean air without interruption. The Winnipeg nonstop does exactly that, opening Belize’s reef, rainforest, ancient Maya sites, and rich cultural experiences to a new wave of Canadian travelers who can now arrive refreshed and ready.
Canada has long been one of Belize’s most important international source markets, and this new route is a strong signal of confidence in the destination’s continued growth. For winter travelers looking to trade Manitoba’s cold for the warmth of the Placencia Peninsula, the timing could not be better. The route launches just as Belize’s peak season begins, putting some of the best weather, clearest water, and most vibrant reef conditions of the year within easy reach.
Why Chabil Mar Is Where You Want to Land
Getting to Belize is now easier. Choosing where to stay should be just as straightforward. Chabil Mar sits on the Placencia Peninsula, right on the Caribbean Sea, and it has been welcoming guests who want something more than a standard resort experience for years. Boutique by design, with a limited number of private villas all facing the water, the property offers the kind of personalized, unhurried hospitality that larger resorts simply cannot replicate.
Our winter season is exceptional. The dry season brings warm sunny days, calm Caribbean waters, and ideal conditions for snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef, sport fishing, exploring ancient Maya sites, and island hopping to the cayes. Back at the resort, the infinity pool, the private beach, and the pace of life on the Placencia Peninsula do the rest.
For Canadian travelers arriving on WestJet’s new Winnipeg service, the journey from Philip Goldson International Airport to Chabil Mar is straightforward, and our team is happy to help arrange transfers so that your vacation begins the moment you land.
