The US government has issued its final rules for flight delay and cancelation compensation.

Airlines are required to provide cash refunds within days for canceled flights and ‘significant’ delays, the Transportation Department said.

A significant delay has been defined as over three hours on domestic flights and at least six hours for international services.

Customers can opt for the cash refund even if the offer of reassigning to another flight or a travel credit is offered.

Customers will be able to accept either of the three options.

A similar rule also applies for refunds of checked-bag fees.

This kicks in if a bag isn’t delivered within 12 hours for domestic flights or from 15 to 30 hours for international flights.

"All too often, archeological sites focus on the ruling elites and not the vast majority of ordinary people. El Pilar attempts to emphasize the lives of the ancient Mayan people rather than just the elite."

El Pilar is one of the best lost Mayan cities to discover the lives of the ancient Mayan people and one of the top attractions in Belize.

Someone seems to have written an article that has such unfactual facts, it's hilarious.

Here's one example. (Note: beaches in Belize are NOT called cayes and we don't have any big white lighthouses, nor do we have any Aztec ruins.)

If you liked Mexico, you'll love Belize - it's neighbour that's teeming with wildlife, a beautifully blended culture of communities and stunning beaches.
