if anybody else is thinking about going, anywhere in Central America, you should really look at TACA airlines. fees are still the lowest for boards and flights last time i checked and i feel you get a better service. i have had no problems with arrivals and departures. i have never left CR on time, and i mean hours of delays or not leaving at all, with any other airline except TACA.
I agree TACA is by far the best airline to go down there, least exspensive too if you get it directly from their site. The only thing is they only fly out of Dulles, not sure where else, maybe NY?
yeah dulles is where i fly out of with TACA. they have some late night flights which make it easier when you arrive back in the states and driving around the DC area. we stay in a hotel nearby so you do not have to pay for airport parking. and whoever said they never heard of Costa being flat, flat meaning 1-2 or waist to most EC's, you could find out this time of year.
