How to Get There?
The downside is that at the moment is it isn’t the easiest place in the
World to get to, the good news is, it's getting easier every year.
All inbound routes via the USA require an overnight stopover in the USA,
Atlanta, Miami or Houston are the simplest. That is, if you can cope
with US homeland security’s long winded procedures. (The ESTA Channel is a
big improvement for British Passport Holders).
Having tried 8 different routes, via
Cancun in North West Mexico, which was always the cheapest – seems to be favourite, particularly if combined with a one or two night stopover in
Cancun or Playa del Carmen. Flights from Europe via Canada or
Panama direct to Belize City can also be viable options.
The daily TROPIC AIR service between Cancun
and Belize City at 14-00hrs connects well with most incoming north American
flights, Only the late flight on FRIDAY at 19-55 connects with incoming
European flights.
Tropic Air flights arrive and depart in Cancun at the FBO
Building and not the main terminals. There is a free Shuttle Bus Service
between terminals. Tropic Air North Bound flights arrive
too late for connections for several USA flights, but times are good for
European connections
Alternatively, there is an overnight deluxe
coach service to Belize city from the central bus terminal.
If you take the coach to Belize, keep your boarding pass handy,
producing it at the Mexican-Belize border can reduce the departure tax. (in transit, you
may have to argue). There is a regular bus / shuttle service
from the airport to the bus / coach terminal.
Arrival in Belize
city on the Evening flight is too late for ongoing flights so a night in Belize
City is required.
Tropic Air North bound flights are now too late for many
connections in Cancun.
Tropic Airs’ internal service is excellent and highly recommended,
10-12 seat Cessna Caravans ply between various islands and
most towns.
Travelers'
transiting Belize International Airport will find
GLOBAL VILLAGE HOTEL interesting and convenient.

Situated at the end of the airport road, (5 minutes drive) it is a modern,
spacious, 40 bedroom hotel.

continental breakfast, and two way airport transport.

For a three week visit TUI GROUP flights to Cancun from Birmingham, Manchester and Gatwick can be
good, though the draconian luggage rules are irritating, (and expensive).
Bookings can be made on the internet. Prices vary enormously, so if
possible, look at alternative dates.
