Belize deal alert: Fly from Atlanta, Minneapolis or Seattle from $266 round trip
Belize attracts all types of travelers.
Adventure seekers love the incredible snorkeling the country has to offer, not to mention its impressive caves, which are some of the most spectacular ones in the world. History lovers are attracted to the fact that Belize has more Mayan ruins per square mile than any other country (yes, even more than Mexico). Those looking for a more laid-back vacation can also find it in this Central American country, thanks to its beautiful beaches and its immense history and culture.
United Airlines' latest fare sale is making it easier than ever to visit Belize. If you live in Atlanta, Minneapolis or Seattle, you can lock in major savings for travel in late spring and fall. We found fares out of some cities for as low as $266 round trip.
This sale isn't only notable because of its prices — it also has widespread availability. Each route had lots of options at the lowest price.
As with many fare sales, this one involves basic economy tickets. With United, that means you can't bring a free carry-on bag, so expect to pay around $40 each way to check luggage.

Sample flights
We found good availability in April on round-trip flights between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City with a layover in Houston.
This is just one example of the available itineraries we saw from Atlanta in April. According to Google Flights, this price is about as good as it gets.
The same great fare is available across May and June out of Atlanta.
There is also great availability out of Minneapolis for this deal. We found several itineraries from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to BZE in June for only $310 round trip. This is another great price.
If you can put off traveling until August, you can get an even better price. The same route between Minneapolis and Belize City is available then for just $288 round trip.
If you're looking far ahead, you can book an escape from Minnesota's typically brutal winter in January to Belize for just $266 round trip.
What about the Pacific Northwest, you ask? If you live in Seattle, you can nab the same $266 round-trip fare from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to BZE in January and February. That's a great time to visit since it's typically Belize's dry season.
There are many options at this price in January, but we only found similarly priced flights in the early part of February.
If you're hoping to fly from Seattle in 2024, we also found lots of $266 round-trip itineraries available in November.
