Belize Int'l Airport by Gerald Preis

28 July 2004   Customer Rating : n/a

My trip to Belize took me through BZE 3 times. It is a classic sleepy 2-room airport: an updated arrivals hall with a mechanical carousel, a communal departure area serving the 4 or 6 gates (glass doors, really) that lead to the tarmac, separated by the small, warm, somewhat chaotic check-in area. Some staff were friendly and enthusiastic, security checks were minimal. Few large jets come to BZE, but they do seem to be timed near each other. Most flights are prop planes to the interior and the offshore reefs. There is a pleasant open air deck that allows views of arriving and departing passengers walking to and from their planes. There is nothing else to do while waiting for your flight. Bring a book. Amenities are few: tiny gifts shops, snack bars and a cafeteria. A good place to people watch. Very stress-free, and it serves its purpose. Ambergris Cay was our real destination. Well worth the trip!
