Two free bags

Southwest Airlines offers a straightforward booking process and a memorable travel experience for your trip to Belize. The airline flies to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport, making it easy for you to begin your adventure.

One of the benefits of flying with Southwest is that your first two checked bags fly free! This baggage policy is a great advantage, especially if you plan to pack a lot for your trip to Belize. There are, however, weight and size limits to the free checked baggage allowance. Each bag should not exceed 50 lbs and 62 inches (L+W+H).

If you need to bring more than two bags, or your bags are overweight or oversized, additional fees will apply. Southwest offers detailed information on its website regarding these charges. For example, an overweight bag between 51-70 lbs will cost $100, while a bag over 71-100 lbs will cost $125. An oversized bag that exceeds 62 inches but is no more than 80 inches will also cost $125.

So, when planning your trip to Belize, rest assured that Southwest has you covered with its generous baggage policy, allowing you to bring all the essentials for your Central American adventure.

No change or cancellation fees

Southwest Airlines offers a flexible booking policy with no change or cancellation fees. This means that you can change your flight as far in advance as possible with no fee, although a difference in fares may apply. If you need to cancel your reservation, you must do so at least 10 minutes before the scheduled departure time to avoid forfeiting your ticket value. For Business Select or Anytime tickets, the ticket value will be refunded as a Transferable Flight Credit™. For Wanna Get Away or Wanna Get Away Plus tickets, the funds will be forfeited. For reward travel reservations booked with points, any points used for booking will be forfeited, along with any taxes and fees associated with the reservation.

When you change or cancel your reservation, be sure to keep your confirmation number. In the case of a cancellation, you will need to provide your confirmation number, ticket number, or flight information to request a refund or inquire about funds for a specific ticket.

If you cancel an unchanged reservation within 24 hours of booking, you can choose to receive a method-of-payment refund or hold the value of the ticket as a flight credit or Transferable Flight Credit™ to use toward a future flight.

In addition to flexible change and cancellation policies, Southwest Airlines offers a variety of other benefits, including two bags flying free, free inflight entertainment, and free texting.

Rapid Rewards Program

Southwest Airlines' Rapid Rewards Program is an award-winning frequent flyer program. The program is most beneficial for budget-minded travellers based in the United States who frequently fly to major cities in the US, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Southwest offers approximately 3,500 flights daily to over 100 destinations.

By enrolling in the Rapid Rewards Program, you will earn points for every dollar spent on Southwest flights and with the airline's hotel, car rental, and retail partners. You can also earn points by participating in market research surveys. Points can be redeemed for flights, hotel stays, experiences, retail items, gift cards, and car rentals. Southwest credit card holders can also use their points to pay for experiences like wine tastings, cruises, golf trips, and spa packages.

The Rapid Rewards Program has four membership tiers: basic membership, A-List, A-List Preferred, and Companion Pass. Only tier-qualifying points—those earned from Southwest flights or through the Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards credit cards—will count toward a higher membership status. Bonus points and purchased points do not count toward your membership status. To maintain your status, you must requalify each calendar year.

Points do not expire as long as your account remains open. The number of points needed to redeem flights may vary based on factors such as destination, time, day of travel, demand, point redemption rate, and fare class.
