Top tips for finding cheap flights to Costa Rica

  • If you are interested in visiting the Northern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, it would be best to fly into Guanacaste Airport (LIR), which is less than ten miles from the city of Liberia. This airport was previously known as Daniel Oduber International Airport and was recently renamed Guanacaste Airport in 2021. If Guanacaste is your destination, you can get there in just under an hour from LIR. Within the airport are several car rental companies, as well as taxis for hire, a shuttle bus, town cars, and buses.
  • If you’d like to experience the more relaxing Caribbean coast and the city of San Jose, you should fly into Juan Santamaria Airport (SJO), which will bring you closer to the Osa Peninsula and the Central Pacific coast.
  • If you want to explore the more remote areas of Costa Rica, both airports offer domestic flights to get you there. However, SJO is easier and, generally, less expensive to fly out of. At both airports you will have the option of two different airlines, Sansa and Aerobell Airlines.
  • Four lounges are available for travelers at SJO. Entrance fees are nominal, and children under 12 can enter at no charge. Enjoy dining, alcoholic beverages, and conference facilities in these lounges, along with three hours of free WiFi. To make things easier upon your arrival, you may book a lounge pass ahead of time. LIR Airport also has one lounge.
  • We suggest you reserve transportation from the airport before your flight to enjoy maximum convenience; the driver will be ready for you upon your arrival and get you right to your hotel. If there is any delay in your flight, be sure to notify the company, as drivers will wait a maximum of 45 minutes after your scheduled arrival time. Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals area at the airport, holding a sign with your name.
