Southwest Airlines Flys to Belize – More Accessibility & Lower Prices

SOUTHWEST AIRLINES IS FLYING TO BELIZE!!!

This week Southwest Airlines’ tickets from Houston’s Hobby Airport directly to Belize City went on sale….and we couldn’t be more excited.  Flights start daily October 15th.  And prices, so far, seem amazing for this delightfully short flight.

2.5 hours and you are at BZE (Belize International Airport).  And then you can visit us here…

But first…here are the quick facts for those who aren’t too familiar with Southwest – one of the largest carriers in the United States.

  • They are loved by customers and rank at or near the top of every airline customer service industry survey
  • Southwest has been profitable in every year of their existence in a industry riddled with bankruptcies, losses and mergers – they know what they are doing
  • They are now investing in Belize – showing commitment to our country as a growing tourist destination
  • Tickets are ONLY available on their website Southwest.com
  • You can check two bags for free.  TWO FREE BAGS!
  • There are no fees for changing your tickets (only the price differences).
  • Oh…and they have a sense of humor.

Pretzels?  Thanks!  We like you too.  Free first drinks on holidays like Valentine’s Day and Halloween?  That we also love.  Here’s their second quarter Holiday list from the current menu:

And here is our very favorite part – their introductory prices to Belize are the lowest we’ve seen in years!

One way prices as low as $127 (including tax) from Houston to Belize – you can book, currently, between October 15, 2015 and January 16, 2016.

Southwest the Magazine is already promoting Belize – in this month’s May issue…they are excited too.

We can’t wait.  149 days until our first plane of passengers arrives via Southwest.  Some return visitors – maybe returning more often with the lower fares – and first time visitors to Belize.

We our excited to show you our country.

In October, November and December, here is a quick look at what you can expect that time of year.
