Southwest Airlines inaugurates direct flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Belize

On Sunday, June 4th, Belize welcomed Southwest Airlines’ first daily direct flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA. This new addition came after Southwest introduced its non-stop Denver, Colorado to Belize City flight in March 2017, and regular non-stop service from Hobby International in Houston to Belize in 2015. With dozens of passengers boarding the charter flight to Belize, the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) made sure to warmly welcome tourists at the Philip Goldson International Airport.

The flight will operate daily from a new, five-gate international Concourse A at Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Terminal 1, which was recently opened for the summer travel season. Not only will the new flight make it easier for travelers to enjoy the beauty of Belize, but it is expected to enhance the country’s tourism industry.

We are are hoping this flight path will make it easier for Floridians to choose San Pedro as their destination.

See you there!
