What airlines fly to Belize?
(Belize Airport Code: BZE) : US Air, Continental Airlines, American Airlines, Taca Air
Travel Requirements:
A passport is required of US, Canadian, and European Community visitors. Citizens of some counties are also required to obtain a visa.
What To Wear:
Shorts, T-shirts, and bathing suits-these are the normal wear for Belize. You won't need to dress up, and should leave fancy clothes AND jewelry at home. Belize can be hot, so prepare adequately for the sun with sunglasses, wide brimmed hats, and plenty of sun block.
What to Bring:
Aside from all the standard things you would bring on any trip, the following things will be helpful:
Sunglasses, sun block, bug spray, change of shoes, binoculars - if you are interested in the bird population, small day pack, small plastic canteen or water bottle, special dietary items, lightweight but durable poncho or windbreaker is a good idea too.
As a basic rule, if you cannot get along without it, bring a spare. This applies for contact lenses and glasses, sunglasses, flashlight and any personal medications.
Money in Belize:
It's easy to figure out how much money you're spending in Belize. The Belizean dollar is fixed at 2:1 to the US dollar. Most merchants and hotels are happy to take United States currency. ATMs are almost non-existent (there's only one in town). Credit cards are accepted at hotels, resorts, tour companies, and larger shops and restaurants, usually with a small surcharge to cover bank fees.
Customs:
Duty free importation is allowed for baggage accompanying passenger, wearing apparel, jewelry, binoculars and cameras. Each person is allowed to import one carton (200 only) of cigarettes and one bottle of alcoholic beverage, duty free.
