Airport-OverviewCosta Rica’s two international airports, San Jose’s Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO) and Liberia’s Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport (LIR), are served by several major airlines.

In general, airline tickets are more expensive during the high season (December-April), especially around Christmas (December 25), New Year’s (January 1), and Easter week.

For lower fares, consider flying out of an airline’s hub city, such as Dallas or Miami (American Airlines), Charlotte, N.C. or Philadelphia (US Airways), San Francisco or Washington D.C. (United), Atlanta or New York (Delta), and Houston or Newark (Continental). Mid-week travel usually yields better prices.

Sample round-trip, high season fares including taxes* to San Jose:

From Los Angeles (LAX): $389 USD
From New York (JFK): $299 USD
From Miami (MIA): $355 USD
From Houston (IAH): $514 USD
From Washington DC (WAS): $295 USD
From San Francisco (SFO): $297 USD
From Atlanta (ATL): $389 USD

Sample round-trip, high season fares including taxes* to Liberia:

From Los Angeles (LAX): $756 USD
From New York (JFK): $686 USD
From Miami (MIA): $572 USD
From Houston (IAH): $511 USD
From Washington DC (WAS): $638 USD
From San Francisco (SFO): $694 USD
From Atlanta (ATL): $478 USD

(*) These are the lowest fares usually available and carry airline restrictions. Please contact airlines directly for prices and travel restrictions based on your itinerary.
