Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PAE to Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport (SJO) last minute?
Booking your journey from Snohomish County Airport to Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport last minute could save you a tidy sum if you strike it lucky and find a bargain.

If you want to be on the safe side, book well in advance of the date you want to leave. Keep in mind that some of the best deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as deals are constantly updated on Expedia.
