WestJet Announces Increased Flights from Canada to Belize

As Tourism grows in the tiny nation of Belize, so does the demand for direct flights to highly trafficked destinations. On July 24, 2017, WestJet announced new non-stop weekly service between Calgary and Belize starting on November 3, 2017. The service is part of the airline's seasonal schedule for the winter of 2017-18 which includes more flights from Calgary to Vancouver, Toronto, Fort McMurray, Kelowna, Brandon, Grande Prairie, Kitchener, Los Angeles, Houston, Phoenix, Palm Springs, Cancun and Cabo San Lucas.

In a release from the WestJet Media Room, WestJet Vice-President, Network Planning, Alliances and Corporate Development, Brian Znotins said, "WestJet will increase service from Calgary by 52 weekly flights this winter." He went on to state that, "as the carrier with more flights from Calgary International Airport than any other, we have designed our Calgary flight schedules to deliver 55 per cent more connecting itineraries which will help to launch new flights in future seasons and further expand our presence in YYC – a key driver in economic and employment growth in the city." 

Details of WestJet's new non-stop service between Calgary and Belize:

One-way fares are available starting from:

*Book by July 31, 2017 (11:59 p.m. MT). Some restrictions apply.  For full details please visit westjet.com/winter schedule.

A second option is available for persons wishing to visit the Toronto area:

One-way fares are available starting from:

"The considerable increase in frequencies out of YYC, combined with the introduction of WestJet's Calgary to Belize route is exciting news for Albertans," said Bob Sartor, President and CEO for The Calgary Airport Authority. "Enhancing the WestJet network out of their home base is a strategic investment to advance one of their largest hubs, and provide YYC passengers with more options to connect out of Calgary."

WestJet also announced the addition of dozens of new flights across Canada. The additional flights deliver optimized service for both the business and leisure traveller and give Canadians greater connectivity into and out of WestJet hubs in Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto, providing more flight frequency between key routes, more convenient schedules and greater access from regional airports to Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean and the U.K.

"Bolstering our hub cities – the core of the WestJet network – is typical of the kind of difference we want to make for Canadian travellers," said Brian Znotins. "The addition of more than 125 flights into and out of Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto creates one-stop connections, faster travel times and better scheduling to address the demand Canadians have for travel that is convenient, stress-free and low cost."

This winter WestJet will operate an average of 700 daily flights to 93 destinations including 37 in Canada, 22 in the United States, 33 in Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America, and one in Europe.

Belize Travel Updates

Belize continues to make a mark on the Real Estate market. With a continued increase in the number of international flights, we will surely see a sustained interest in buying Belize Real Estate. In the last 2 years alone, Belize has welcomed a few of the top airline names in the world to have permanent residence at its International Airport with daily direct flights to destinations like:

• Toronto via West Jet, with seasonal flights to Denver and Colorado
• Houston, Denver, Ft. Lauderdale via Southwest Airlines
• United Kingdom via American Airlines
• Panama via Copa Airlines
• Chetumal, Merida and Cancun via local airline Tropic Air

With the dawn of additional international flights, came an increase in mandatory visitor departure taxes. This brings Belize in line with the world market and the increase will continue to contribute to improved infrastructure at Belize points of exit; fortunately, most international airline carries include this fee in the cost of your ticket. Remember, once the fee is not included in the cost of your ticket, this fee can only be paid with US cash only.

Though visitor visas are still not required for US Citizens and any Canadian Citizens traveling to Belize for a period of thirty (30) days or less, be sure to check the validity of your passport. Your passport must be valid for a period of ninety (90) days following your departure to Belize. Make sure your passport has at least two (2) free pages. Finally, be sure to check that entry visas are not required for any connections as a part of your visit to Belize.
