FRS → BZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Mundo Maya International Airport (Flores) to Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (Belize City)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more panoramic view of the vast Maya Biosphere Reserve and the best opportunity to spot the silhouettes of ancient Mayan pyramids rising above the jungle canopy.

Lake Petén Itzá
Stunning aerial views of the deep blue lake immediately after takeoff from Flores.
Maya Biosphere Reserve
An uninterrupted carpet of dense tropical rainforest stretching toward the horizon.
Tikal Peaks
On clear days, the tallest temples of the Tikal ruins can be seen piercing the jungle canopy to the north.
Northern Lagoon
Vibrant blue and green wetlands as you cross the border into Belizean territory.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the peaks of Tikal in the distance. Book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon haze and tropical clouds that often obscure the jungle floor. This is a very short flight (approx 30 mins), so stay alert immediately after takeoff.

Flores Island
A unique perspective of the densely packed, red-roofed island city in the middle of the lake.
Belize River
The winding, serpentine path of the river as it snakes through the lowlands toward the coast.
Maya Mountains
Distant views of the rugged, blue-tinted mountain range to the south of the flight path.
Belize City Coastline
A clear view of the city and the mouth of the Haulover Creek as you descend into BZE.
The right side is excellent for seeing the urban layout of Flores and the southern shores of the lake. During the final descent, this side typically offers a better view of the Belize City skyline and the turquoise transition of the Caribbean Sea near the airport.
