If the thought of a Belize vacation has always come with a mental asterisk—layovers, long connections, and that drained feeling when you finally land—WestJet just erased it.
Starting December 14, 2026, WestJet will operate a new weekly nonstop flight between Winnipeg Richardson International Airport and Philip Goldson International Airport in Belize City. The route joins the airline’s existing nonstops from Toronto and Calgary, giving Canadian travelers—especially those in Manitoba and across western Canada—the easiest access to Belize they’ve ever had.
Why This Flight Changes Winter Plans
Direct access is more than convenience. It means stepping off the plane into warm Caribbean air without the fatigue of a connection. For anyone who’s spent a winter staring at frozen prairie skies, that difference is everything. Belize’s peak season lines up perfectly with the launch: dry weather, calm seas, clear water on the Barrier Reef, and ideal conditions for exploring Maya ruins, fishing, and island-hopping the cayes.
Canada has long been one of Belize’s strongest source markets. This new Winnipeg service signals confidence in the destination’s continued growth and opens the door for more travelers to experience the Placencia Peninsula without the usual travel friction.
Why Chabil Mar Is the Perfect Landing Spot
Once you arrive in Belize, the next decision is where to stay. Chabil Mar sits right on the Caribbean Sea on the Placencia Peninsula, offering something larger resorts simply can’t match: a limited number of private, waterfront villas and genuinely personalized hospitality.
Guests come for the boutique scale—no crowded buffets or impersonal service—and stay for the unhurried pace. Days here revolve around the infinity pool overlooking the sea, the private beach, and the easy access to some of Belize’s best experiences:
- Snorkeling or diving the Belize Barrier Reef
- Sport fishing in productive nearby waters
- Exploring ancient Maya sites
- Island-hopping to nearby cayes
- Simply slowing down on one of the country’s most beautiful stretches of coastline
The dry-season weather that coincides with the new WestJet flights brings warm, sunny days and calm Caribbean waters—exactly the conditions that make Placencia shine.
Getting There Is Now Simple
The journey from Philip Goldson International Airport to Chabil Mar is straightforward, and the resort’s team is happy to arrange transfers so your vacation begins the moment you land. No complicated logistics. Just a smooth arrival and the sea waiting for you.
Book Before Peak Dates Disappear
Winter dates at Chabil Mar fill quickly in a normal year. With a brand-new direct route from Winnipeg bringing more Canadian travelers to Belize this season, availability will move even faster. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or simply the kind of restorative vacation that reminds you why you work the rest of the year, now is the time to lock in your dates.
Winnipeg to Belize nonstop. Belize to Chabil Mar. The hardest part is deciding to go.
