Southwest Airlines Begins Daily Flights to Belize From Houston !

Remax Vip Belize : Southwest Airlines Begins Daily Flights to Belize From Houston

As of October 15th 2015, daily flights between Houston and Belize City as well as six other destinations will begin. After receiving U.S. government approval of the new service, Southwest has begun selling these flights at Southwest.com, offering Customers nonstop options between Houston (Hobby) and four destinations in Mexico—Cancun, Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta, and San Jose del Cabo/Los Cabos—as well as flights to San Jose, Costa Rica, and Belize City, Belize.

“We’re building our first-ever international terminal project to give Houstonians, visitors to Houston, and our connecting Customers exceptional value and legendary Customer Service in international markets for which there is great demand.” — Gary Kelly, Southwest Airlines Chairman, President, and CEO.

Belize as well as the other new flight destination countries are expected to benefit from what’s called the “Southwest Effect“, where there is an average decrease in airfares of as much as 30 percent wherever Southwest goes. US Ambassador Carlos R. Moreno said Southwest Airline’s arrival is what you call a “win-win”. The airline has access to one of the fastest growing tourism destinations in the hemisphere and passengers benefit from low fares.

On a different note, another option when you come here that I wanted to plug is BB Yoga Flow. I love yoga, and going to a class is always better (for me anyway). I had heard about Agnes, and started attending her classes a couple weeks ago. The people in the class are awesome, Agnes is a GREAT teacher, and I love her little studio. From CBC, it is a short bike ride, just past Turtle Inn. Her classes are at 6 and 9am, and you can find both advanced and beginner classes. Here are a couple images I took–this is highly recommended when you come, she’ll make you never want to leave!

Another awesome recent find I want to share….we get a lot of athletic people here who want to do active things (note, on vacation I usually want to lay on the beach and be lazy. But, if you are the type who likes to hike and be active, listen up!) Dave and I drove to Cockscomb this past week and did the Tiger Falls hike. This was SO awesome. You’ll want to bring a small backpack with water, your bathing suit, a towel, and a change of clothes and shoes. You will hike about 4 miles to a FANTASTIC TOTALLY WORTH IT 2 waterfalls, where even with my fears of spiders and snakes, I jumped in and swam. It was just amazing and a must do for hikers. You will also see a breathtaking view of Victoria’s Peak, check out these pictures! Note–this hike was, for me, grueling. I was exhausted afterwards but also had that nice natural high. It was a lot of uphill hiking! You can really earn your drinks later in the day. I am not the only one who loved it….
