United and Delta launch sale on round-trip flights to Belize
There are already several reasons why Belize should be on every traveler’s radar.
The beautiful beaches, plentiful snorkeling opportunities, rich culture and magnificent Mayan ruins are all well worth the price of an airline ticket. But when airfare is available at roughly half the normal price, a visit to this Central American gem is a no-brainer.
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are slashing fares on round-trip flights to Belize City from U.S. cities such as Austin, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. Some routes are going for as little as $252 round-trip, which is significantly cheaper than these routes have been priced at for awhile.
The travel window is primarily focused on August and November of this year. Please note that the flights will involve layovers. The discounted tickets in this sale are for the airlines’ basic economy tickets. A carry-on is included with Delta’s fares but not with United’s — the first checked bag will cost $80 for both United’s basic economy and economy tiers.

Sample flights
Let’s start with Austin. There are lots of fares available for under $300 through this deal. This August itinerary from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) to Belize City’s Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) is just $297 round-trip. Please note this is a split ticket with a Delta departure flight and a United return flight. That means you’ll have to either upgrade your return flight or pay to check a bag.
Nearly the same price is available for this route in October on Delta.
Check out this great deal out of Baltimore. You can fly United out of Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) to Belize City in late August for only $252 round-trip.
According to Google Flights, this ticket is usually priced at $700.
You can book the same route from Baltimore to Belize City at the same price in October.
If departing from Washington, D.C., is more convenient, you can still take advantage of this sale. United has round-trip flights out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to Belize City in the fall for only $258. There is good availability at this price for this route across October and November.
