Direct Flights From Jfk To Belize: What You Need To Know

Yes, you can fly directly from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Belize's Phillip S.W. Goldson International Airport. JetBlue offers direct flights on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Round-trip vs one-way flights

When considering whether to book a round-trip or two one-way flights, it's important to compare prices for both options. The best choice depends on where you're travelling to and whether you're paying with cash or miles.

Booking with cash

If you're booking your flights with cash, the simplest option is to choose whichever is cheapest. When flying domestically in the US, the cost of two one-way flights is usually the same as a round-trip. However, for international flights, it can be much more expensive to book two one-way tickets.

Booking with points and miles

If you're booking with points and miles, it can make sense to book two one-way flights for greater flexibility. Most US airlines have dropped change fees on award flights, so if the price is the same, booking two one-way flights gives you the option to change or cancel one flight without affecting the other.

However, this isn't always the case. Some loyalty programs charge fewer miles for booking a round-trip. Additionally, some airlines, such as Delta, charge higher taxes and fees for award flights originating in certain regions. Therefore, it's important to price out both options before booking.

Open-jaw flights

If you're flying into one city and out of another, you could also consider booking an 'open-jaw' flight. Many airlines will let you book a flight into one city and a flight back from another city on the same ticket, often at a similar price to a round-trip.

Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the above rules. For example, if you come across a fantastic round-trip deal, it may be worth booking, even if it's not the cheapest option. Additionally, booking a round-trip can be easier to manage, as you only have one reservation to deal with.
