How to get to | Belize

This is part of a series of blog entries on how to get to countries and places. Here is a link to the index. I plan to eventually cover every country and some other places. If you have a request for a particular country or place please use the email me link at top right, or leave a comment.

Many visitors to Belize arrive by cruise ship. There are limited land border crossings with Mexico and Guatemala and few international buses. Airlines flying to Belize include:

• Star Alliance - Continental, US Airways
• Oneworld - American
• Sky Team - Delta
• Other selected - TACA

TIP - some fares to Belize are common-rated with other Central American destinations. This means if there is a cheap fare advertised to say San Jose (Costa Rica) or Managua (Nicaragua) there may also be cheap fares to Belize.

TIP - the market is fairly competitive from many major US cities. When TACA has a sale other airlines typically match.

UPDATED November 2009 - Continental switch from Sky Team to Star Alliance. No change to advice.
