From new routes to returning seasonal flights, getting home has never been easier. So, why not come home for the festive season?
Home Is Just One Flight Away!
On Thursday. November 20th, Spirit Airlines launched its new nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Belize City. Offering three flights a week (Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays), Spirit is the latest to join the slew of airlines that offer convenient direct connections to the country. Meanwhile, carriers like United Airlines will be expanding their services this season. Starting this December, the airline will be resuming service out of San Francisco as well as increasing flight frequency to five times daily out of Belize.

Best Ways to Celebrate the Holiday Season
What better way to enjoy the end-of-year season than with all the comforts of home? Christmas is still a few weeks away, but we’re already dreaming of all the ways Belize will come alive for the holidays. Here are some quintessentially Belizean (and can’t-miss) traditions to take part in.
Holiday Cooking
The end of year months are all about food—and it starts long before thanksgiving. From savory hudut for Garifuna Settlement Day to Christmas Ham, Relleno, and Tamales or Bollos in December, there will be no shortage of wholesome Belizean meals to choose from. (And don’t forget the rum popo!)
Brukdong Bram
“Hibam lang sho” at Christmas Bram—the ultimate Belizean Holiday Season celebration. Take a trip to one of Belize’s creole villages, especially in the Belize River Valley area, for a dose of nostalgia and merriment.
Off to the Races
This year, Belize showed the region that it takes its cycling seriously, with an outstanding performance at the 2025 Caribbean Elite Road Cycling Championships. For fans who haven’t had their fill, look to the KREM New Year’s Day Cycling Classic. Meanwhile, the Castleton Racetrack in Burrell Boom is the place to be for thrilling horse races this coming New Year.
