Belize is now easier to reach than ever before. On November 21, 2025, Spirit Airlines launched its inaugural flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport in Belize City. This new route marks the only nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport and Belize, creating a convenient travel option for guests planning a stay at San Ignacio Resort Hotel.
Operating three times a week on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays, this new connection gives travelers from South Florida and beyond a faster and more affordable way to reach Belize’s rainforests, rivers, and archaeological treasures. With this added accessibility, planning a getaway to San Ignacio for adventure, culture, or relaxation has never been simpler.
Anthony Mahler, Minister of Tourism, Youth, Sports, and Diaspora Relations, shared his excitement for the new service. He noted that Belize offers cultural experiences, warm hospitality, and unforgettable adventures from reef to rainforest. This new route helps bring those experiences within easy reach for United States travelers planning their next escape.
More Travel Options at Better Value
With Spirit Airlines joining the list of carriers serving Belize, guests now have additional flexibility when choosing travel dates, fares, and seating options. Spirit offers multiple cabin experiences including Spirit First, Premium Economy, and standard Value seating. This gives travelers the choice to tailor their trip based on comfort and budget.
Visitors flying in from Fort Lauderdale will find that the new route is ideal for long weekends, family visits, romantic getaways, and spontaneous escapes to Belize. The schedule also makes it easy for Belizeans to visit South Florida’s popular beaches, shopping districts, and entertainment attractions.
To celebrate the launch, Spirit Airlines introduced a special Free Spirit bonus points promotion. Members can earn 1,500 bonus points on round trip flights or 750 bonus points on one way flights between Fort Lauderdale and Belize City. Travel must be booked by November 29, 2025, and flown by December 22, 2025. New members who join the program receive an additional 500 points, making this a perfect time to plan a trip.
