Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport to FON last minute?
Being spontaneous is a wonderful way to travel around, but it isn't necessarily the best way to land a bargain plane ticket. Consider booking your SJO to FON trip ahead of time rather than leaving it until the last minute. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save up that spontaneity for when you reach your destination!

La Fortuna (FON-Arenal), Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport (SJO) and Tobias Bolanos Intl. Airport (SYQ) are your choices when heading off from San José to La Fortuna.
