In general, the cheapest airfares are domestic North American flights, then to Central America and the Caribbean, then Europe and Asia, followed by Africa, the Middle East and the South Pacific. Clocking in on a list of 22, the average flight to Belize falls at about US$346 (Belize City) roundtrip.
