Nonstop Flights to Belize: Every US and Canadian Gateway, Month by Month

Verified on 24 September 2026, against the Belize Airports Authority’s own monthly flight schedules for December 2025 and for January, March, June, July, August and September 2026, the airport’s airline list, and Tropic Air’s, Southwest’s and Houston Airports’ own pages.

In September 2026, nonstop flights reached Belize from five US cities — Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles and Miami — and from no Canadian city, on the airport operator’s September schedule. Last January the same airport scheduled 23 origin cities on 13 airlines, 18 of those cities in the US and Canada (our counts from that schedule), including New York, Chicago, Denver, Newark, Toronto and Montreal. The October and November 2026 schedules were not yet posted when we checked on 24 September 2026, so which of last winter’s routes come back for 2026–27 cannot yet be confirmed from the airport’s own schedules. Every one of these flights uses Philip S. W. Goldson International (BZE); the airport operator states that “All international flights into Belize arrive at the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport.”

On the airport’s own numbers, Belize’s North American service is a winter network around a thin year-round core — five US cities in September, nine in the June to August schedules and fifteen in January (our counts) — and the airport’s own list of which routes are seasonal disagrees with its own monthly schedules in both directions.

Every US and Canadian nonstop, by month

“Listed season” is the airport’s Airlines Flying to Belize page, whose metadata dates its last change to 18 July 2025. The other three columns are what the airport’s monthly schedules actually carried. A dash means the route is not in that month’s schedule.

Last winter ran at least December to March. The December 2025 and March 2026 schedules carry the same 23 origin cities as January; we read airline names off the January schedule and route codes off the other two. Summer ran the same all three months: the July and August 2026 schedules carry exactly the same 14 origin cities as June, and the June column above is the one whose airline names we read.

If you searched from a city that is not in the table: Boston and Washington do not appear as an origin in any of the seven monthly schedules we read, December 2025 to September 2026. Southwest’s own page labels its Baltimore airport “Baltimore/Washington (BWI)”.

The regional nonstops

These five also fly to and from BZE, and all five were in the January, June and September 2026 schedules. They are the one-stop connections for anyone whose city is not in the table above.

The Guatemala City departure time does not agree between the two sources that print it. The airport’s September schedule has TAG flight 803 leaving BZE at 2:10 PM. Tropic Air’s own booking engine, which sells the same route “operated by : TAG Airlines”, showed a 3:00 PM departure arriving in Guatemala City at 4:20 PM when we read it on 24 September 2026 for Friday 25 September. Both showed no Sunday flight. Use the time on the ticket you actually buy. Tropic Air’s own Cancun flight left BZE at 10:30 AM on its engine, reaching Cancun at 1:00 PM local time with a “Travel time” of 01h30 — the same 10:30 AM departure as the airport’s schedule.

September 2026: every scheduled time at BZE

Times are local Belize time (CST, UTC−6), as the airport’s schedule prints them, and the schedule is marked “subject to change”. It was published as a PDF created on 8 September 2026.

American’s day pattern changes week by week through September, so read the week you need in the airport’s PDF rather than relying on the 1–7 September rows here.

Where the airport’s own list is out of date

The airline-list page says itself that “the general schedule for when airlines fly to Belize can change”. Against the monthly schedules, this is what it misses or mislabels:

• Five routes labelled “Nov–Apr” flew in June. United’s Denver and Newark flights, Southwest’s Denver and Baltimore flights and American’s Charlotte flight all ran on Saturdays in June 2026, and the same origin cities are in the July and August schedules. None of the five is in September.
• United’s Los Angeles route, listed for June to August, is in none of the seven schedules we read. The only Los Angeles flight in the June, July and August schedules is Alaska’s.
• United’s San Francisco route, listed for December to August, flew Saturdays in the December to March schedules and is absent from June onward.
• JetBlue’s New York flight and Spirit’s Fort Lauderdale flight are not on the list at all, though both were in the December 2025 to March 2026 schedules and neither is in the June to September ones. When the airport welcomed JetBlue on 6 December 2023 it announced “year-round service, offering non-stop flights between JFK International Airport, New York City and Belize” — three flights a week on an Airbus 320. In the schedules from December 2025 to September 2026 it appears only in winter.
• Southwest’s Houston route is listed “Year-round”, and it is — but daily in June 2026 and on Saturday and Sunday only in September.

The airport’s own blog post of 29 January 2026, “Direct Flights to Belize (BZE)”, has errors of its own: it lists American Airlines at Los Angeles, which no schedule from December 2025 to September 2026 shows, and it leaves out United at Houston and Tropic Air’s San Pedro Sula flight, both in the airport’s own schedules. Tropic Air’s page describes BZE as “home to eight international carriers serving 23 international cities in seven countries”, with no date. That matches neither month on both counts: the September 2026 schedule has eight airlines but 10 origin cities, and the January 2026 schedule has 23 origin cities but 13 airlines, in six countries (our counts). The airport’s own list page names 11 airlines.

Saturday flights that call at Belize between two cities

The airport’s schedules print notes above three airlines’ tables saying one aircraft arrives from one city and leaves for another:

• United, Saturdays (January from 6 January, and June): “flight 2134 arrives from Denver and departs to Newark as 1595. Flight 542 arrives from Newark and departs to Denver as flight 1906.”
• Southwest, Saturdays (January): “flight 837 arrives from Houston and departs to Denver as 289. Flight 288 arrives from Denver and departs to Houston as 1013.” The June schedule prints the same pattern with different Houston flight numbers, 847 and 1033.
• WestJet (January): “On Mondays, Thursdays & Saturdays, flight 2562 arrives from Toronto and departs to Calgary as 2275. Flight 2274 arrives from Calgary and departs to Toronto as 2563.”

Every leg is still nonstop to or from Belize. What it means in practice is that on those days the flight home to Denver, say, is the aircraft that has just come in from Newark.

Houston: which airport

Southwest flies to Belize from Houston Hobby (HOU). Houston Airports’ own list of Hobby’s nonstop destinations includes “Belize City, Belize (BZE)” with the Southwest logo, and Southwest’s own flights-to-Belize page labels the route “Houston Hobby (HOU)”. The Belize airport’s schedules label both Southwest’s and United’s Houston flights “HOU”. We could not confirm United’s Houston airport from United or from Houston Airports — united.com timed out, and Houston Airports’ page for the other Houston airport’s destinations redirected to its home page — so we do not name it here.

Europe, and the late Montreal flight

The airport operator’s January 2026 blog post says: “Currently, there are no regularly scheduled nonstop flights from Europe to Belize.” When it announced Air Canada’s Montreal service on 9 July 2025, it said that route “allows for same-day connections from over twenty cities” in Europe. As announced, the Montreal flight started on 8 December 2025, leaving Montreal-Trudeau on Mondays at 5:45 PM and arriving at 10:05 PM, with the return leaving Belize on Tuesdays at 11:00 AM and reaching Montreal at 4:40 PM. The January 2026 schedule carries exactly those times. Whether it returns for winter 2026–27 is not stated on any source we could load on 24 September 2026.

That 10:05 PM arrival sits outside the airport’s published hours. Its Quick Facts page gives them as “Daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Beyond normal hours, services are available upon request.” Alaska’s Los Angeles flight arrived at 6:45 PM in early June 2026, also after six.

What the airlines and the airport don’t publish

• The October and November 2026 schedules. On 24 September 2026 the airport’s arrivals-and-departures page linked only the September 2026 schedule. Until the winter months are posted, the January column above is last winter, not this one.
• Any airline’s own confirmation of its Belize route for winter 2026–27. We tried every carrier’s own site on 24 September 2026: American’s returned a block, Delta’s loaded with no Belize route content, United’s timed out, Alaska’s, Air Canada’s and WestJet’s Belize pages returned “not found”, JetBlue’s returned no route text, Spirit’s did not respond, Sun Country’s showed no Belize text, and TAG’s redirected and returned a block. So this page rests on the airport operator’s schedules plus Tropic Air’s, Southwest’s and Houston Airports’ own pages.
• Flight durations from the US and Canada. The airport’s schedules print Belize-local arrival and departure times only. Its blog says that “in most cases, travel times are under five hours”, which is not a figure for any one route.
• A nonstop fare you can see without a booking search. Southwest’s flights-to-Belize page shows fares without saying whether they are nonstop, and Copa’s fares page is for trips that connect in Panama, so we print no fares on this page.
• Spirit’s plans for winter 2026–27 — no Spirit page loaded.

How we researched this

Scope: this page reports source research, not a trip. The spine is the Belize Airports Authority’s own monthly schedule PDFs for Philip S. W. Goldson International. We read the September 2026 schedule page by page as images, all six pages. We read the January 2026 schedule the same way for airline names, and its text layer for flight numbers, days and the notes above each table. For December 2025, March, July and August 2026 we read the origin-city codes from each PDF’s text layer, and for June 2026 both the images and the text. “Our count” figures are cities counted by us from those schedules. Everything in the “Listed season” column is from the airport’s airline-list page, and every conflict between the two is shown rather than resolved.

The Houston Hobby attribution comes from Houston Airports’ and Southwest’s own pages. The Cancun and Guatemala City times come from Tropic Air’s booking engine, read in an ordinary browser on 24 September 2026 for Friday 25 September. The JetBlue, Air Canada and Europe statements come from the airport operator’s own news posts.
