 Costa 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.
