I think an international airport is a good way to ruin a good thing.

Define "nightmare."


why more so than the US or Canada? simply the amount of time to get there?

The reason more so from Canada and the US is that most European flights have to overnight in the US increasing cost and reducing amount of vacation time in Belize. Plus for some people they have to get visas for the states and belize again increasing the cost of the trip.
Yes most Canadian and American visitors have to change flights at least once.
But I will tell you it is most frustrating going thru customs in your own country then landing in the states and doing it all again sometimes twice. If we want to increase tourism forget International Arrivals in San Pedro lets just work on getting them to Belize City. Or better yet flights from Cancun or Playa to San Pedro.

Hmmm, are there any Cancun to BZE flights? Probably not, but that would be a good first step.

It's probably our fault that Belize is closer to us than it is to Europe. \:D

consider the logistics, quite apparent in the hub system here in the US. If you had enough people to fill a flight from, oh, say Toronto to BZE, bingo, a possible direct flight. Never happen. They would fly to a place in the US where they could gather enough passengers together to fill up the flight. From Europe? How many folks heading to Belize would justify a transoceanic flight? How about enough people going to NY? Their possible destinations being just about anywhere. Follow the money. Jane, :P

I believe during high season there is a direct flight from Toronto to BZE on Thursdays.

OK, I stand corrected, but the principle remains the same. Good eye there, Chloe. \:\)
