Flights to Belize | Guide to Cheap Airline Tickets to Belize (BZE)

The major US airlines with flights to Belize City, Belize are American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, US Airways and United Airlines. Each of these airlines offer the majority of their flights to Belize out of their hubs. For example, Delta will route all of their flights to BZE through their Atlanta, Georgia hub. American Airlines route the flights through their hub in Miami. Conintental and United hook up in Houston.

TACA Airlines which isn't at the forefront of many US passengers minds is a very pleasant alternative and their flights are all routed through their hub in El Salvador.

You may be thinking that it will be cheaper to fly out of the airport hub city. This is often true, but in the crazy world of airline pricing it isn't always true. The pricing of flights by the airlines at some airports are very competitive. If you are flying from the Northeastern US, flights out of JFK and EWR (Newark, NJ) you will find more discount flights to Latin America than other nearby cities. A flight with Delta Air Lines is often cheaper from EWR than it is from Atlanta. That's right, you can book a flight that will take you from New York or New Jersey, connect in Atlanta and then on to Belize, cheaper than a flight only going from Atlanta. In researching this article, flights were over one hundred dollars less on Delta when departing out of Newark than out of Atlanta.

The travel search engines such as Travelocity, Expedia, Mobissimo and other will let you choose flexible travel dates. This is a big help when it comes to flying to a place like Belize where there is less travelers and therefore lower competition. Lately, they have been advertising cheap flights to Belize.
