Beaches, beautiful rain forests, Mayan ruins and a renowned barrier reef are but a few reasons why Belize should be in your travel sights. Add to that the fact that Belize is the only Central American country that is primarily English-speaking. And did we mention that you can get there for a song, thanks to these deals from United and American Airlines? Airfares from U.S. cities are available for less than $220.

Sample flights
Availability in December is limited, but if you’re able to jump on this deal, you can make it to Belize City (BZE) from Dallas (DFW) for $217 round-trip on United. The flights are operated by United Express, and involve one stop each way. This is a United basic economy ticket, which means you will have to pay for a seat assignment, carry-on bag and checked bag.
We found availability in February on American Airlines from Philadelphia (PHL) to Belize City (BZE) with a stop in Miami for $212 round-trip. This basic economy fare allows you one free carry-on.
Phoenix (PHX) to Belize (BZE) is available on American for $212 round-trip. We found some limited dates (also in basic economy) in December 2021 and January 2022.
American also has basic economy availability from Washington, D.C. (DCA), at $213 round-trip throughout April 2022.
