Costa Rica Airlines: Flight to Paradise

Costa Rica airlines form a sound functioning network that makes traveling to and fro an easy affair. The airlines can be used not just to reach Costa Rica from a different country but the can also be used to commute within the country, especially to distant and far-flung corners where the road network is not too convenient and/or comfortable.

The domestic network of airlines is especially efficient and solves plenty of transportation problems in the country of Costa Rica.

Major Costa Rica airlines

There are two major Costa Rica airline companies operating in the country for domestic purposes. These airlines namely the Nature Air and the Sansa Air ply from San Jose. There are more than 15 locations towards which these flights head everyday.

The aircrafts that these airlines use are the tiny prop types that can accommodate anything from 9 to 25 travelers. You can fly to important places like Liberia and Quepos as well as distant nooks like Limon and South Puntarenas, with the help of these small private plane companies. You will find Nature Air functioning from Tobias Bolanos domestic airport while Sansa Air flies from Juan Santamaria International Airport.

Among the Costa Rica airlines you will find Nature Air having a handful of flights operating from Tamarindo and Quepos, besides San Jose. A third important and reliable airline among these is Paradise Air. The tickets are costlier during the peak season between December and April. Paradise Air takes its passengers to all the important cities in Costa Rica.

Airline Information

While traveling to and fro on these domestic airplanes you will have to spend a little above 150 US$. However, this is only a regular estimate for domestic

Costa Rica airlines and when the tourist season is at its peak the charges may shoot up. There are a few essential issues that you must know when you use the domestic flights. On these airlines you do not need to pay the fare for children who are 2 years old or below.

The luggage that you carry along with you can weigh up to a maximum of 12 KG. If you wish to carry extra luggage you will be required to pay extra for it. Even your surfboard may be considered as extra luggage and sometime may not even be allowed on board. So, get the information well in advance.

Like your Costa Rica airlines fare, the additional charge for the luggage may also vary.
