This was my first time flying Tropic Air Belize. In fact, Tropic Air Belize is actually promoted as The Airline of Belize. It’s basically a hopper plane. It jumps small distances from nearby towns to Belize City.

My Tropic Air Belize Experience

The plane is small. I mean, smaller than I’ve ever flown before. I’ve been on small jets before but never on a plane this small. Let me paint a picture for you. Upon walking up the steps and onto the plane, you are immediately aware of the layout of the entire plane. It’s tiny. The cockpit and both pilots are exposed. Behind the pilots, there are 10 actual seats. This Tropic Air Belize plane has no seating arrangements. Choose any seat that’s vacant. It’s pretty chill. Since it’s just me and a lady we had plenty to choose from. I chose to sit at the end. There are two-floor seats in the back of the plane for a total of 12 seats.

There are no restrooms on this flight. Although it’s such a short flight, you can probably hold it until you get to the Belize City Airport.

There’s no overhead compartment. You get no space under the seat for your bags. You must hold your bag in your lap and make sure you don’t get impaled by your laptop when it takes off and lands.

To be honest, I was worried most of the flight because I’ve gotten accustomed to large commercial airlines telling me I’m going to die if my bag sticks out more than an inch from underneath the seat. My bags were fine. I have one small backpack and a laptop bag. I placed my backpack between my legs and held on to my small bag as tight as possible.

Take-off and landing were the hardest parts. You could feel every gust of wind. The turbulence of the plane makes your stomach drop. The walls of the plane seem so thin. It almost doesn’t feel safe. As I said, I was a little scared.

Once in the air, the flight was rather smooth. We flew at a good altitude and the view of the jungle was beautiful. I even saw a sink-hole from here. It made me wonder if this is what it’s like to have a private jet… Why cant Kim K gift me a private jet?

Tropic Air Belize fly’s from MID every other day, so I had to cut my Merida stay by one day in order to meet Claude (the bf) in Panama city for the week.

Let me break it down for you:

This Tropic Air Belize flight is from MID to BZE (Merida to Belize), one-way $176 USD.

It was a 1.5 hour long flight.

I thought it was a little pricey but the experience you get it priceless.

Would I do this again? Hell yeah!
