Miami isn’t too bad. I wouldn’t fly through Atlanta if you paid me.

Miami??? I'm gobsmacked.
It's been a few years but I had decided that I never wanted to do that again.
That said, I don't want to transit through Toronto either.

I should add the caveat that the Miami gate my flight leaves from to Belize is the one next to the gate my flight lands at from Toronto... it’s all of a 12 yard walk to my next flight.
I have missed 3 connecting flights which had 2 hour + layovers in Atlanta due to immigration there..

What about re-entry? What's that like?

Not terrible, but I’ve only done it twice. Probably around 35 mins including immigration. Both times I had time to sink a bottle of wine in the sushi joint before my flight...

Another option to get through US customs quick is Mobile Passport app which is FREE unless you want to pay for the premium version (of course!).
Sometimes GE line is better, sometimes Mobile Passport is. Just realize once you click submit on Mobile Passport you are committed for that entry, and can't switch to the GE line if you have both.

There are now direct flights from Toronto to Belize with Air Canada and Westjet, so why bother with a connection at all?
And Nexus application is a big palaver, but at least hubby has stopped being pulled aside because he seems to share a very common name with a miscreant.

The direct flights aren’t all year round. They are seasonal.
