Travelers looking to experience Belize’s beauty will soon find it easier than ever to reach the country. The Belize Tourism Board (BTB) recently announced the return and expansion of United Airlines’ service to Belize for the upcoming high season, providing greater access for both international visitors and Belize’s diaspora returning home.
Starting November 1, 2025, United Airlines will resume direct flights from Denver (DEN), Chicago (ORD), and Newark (EWR), adding to its existing year-round service from Houston (IAH). This makes it more convenient for travelers across the U.S. to plan their Belize getaway. Adding to the excitement, service from San Francisco (SFO) will return on December 20, 2025, offering more options for those traveling from the West Coast.
This expansion highlights Belize’s growing appeal as a top destination and ensures seamless connections for both holiday travelers and returning Belizeans during peak season.
More Flights, More Convenience
United Airlines is preparing to meet the high demand for travel to Belize during the holiday season. Between December 18 and December 31, 2025, the airline will operate five daily flights out of Belize, with six flights on peak travel dates—December 20 and December 27.
This robust schedule ensures that travelers have flexible options to plan their vacation or holiday visit. For international travelers, it means shorter layovers and smoother connections. For Belizeans living abroad, it offers easier and more affordable ways to come home for the holidays.
With these expanded routes, United Airlines solidifies its role as one of the largest international carriers serving Belize. This growth supports the tourism industry and strengthens Belize’s accessibility as a must-visit destination in Central America.
Why Belize Should Be Your Next Getaway
Belize is more than a destination; it’s an experience. From the second-largest barrier reef in the world to lush jungles filled with wildlife and ancient Maya ruins, the country offers something for every kind of traveler. The return of expanded United Airlines service makes it even easier to enjoy these unforgettable adventures.
For those planning a trip, Black Orchid Resort is perfectly situated near the international airport yet surrounded by the natural beauty of the Belize River. Guests can enjoy river tours, day trips to Belize City and beyond, and return to the resort’s comfort and hospitality at the end of each adventure.
What makes Black Orchid Resort truly unique is its strategic location. When you stay with us, you don’t have to choose between an island resort, which can be costly, or a jungle lodge far from the reef. Here, you have access to both worlds. Spend one day snorkeling, fishing, scuba diving, or sailing along the barrier reef, and the next exploring Maya ruins, hiking trails, or bird watching in the jungle. All of Belize’s best adventures are within reach, and you get to return each evening to boutique comfort by the river.
With United Airlines increasing its service to Belize this high season, there’s never been a better time to plan your trip. Make the most of this convenient access and book your stay at Black Orchid Resort.
