Folks in the ATL know who Clark howard on the radio is. I got an email of travel tips earlier today with this:

# Round-trip from Atlanta:
# $299 San Jose, Costa Rica or Guatemala City, Guatemala
# A 14-day advance purchase required
# Travel any available day
# Stay 3-120 days
# No expiration of travel
# Blackouts: Dec. 22-27 south/Jan. 1-3 north
# Valid on Continental

I plugged a couple of dates in August in but the best I found was $441.

At that price it may be worth a try!!

Best I could find for Oct 26-Nov 1 (Thurs to Wed, non-holiday) on Continental was $431 + $74 taxes and fees.

Keep in mind you'll be going via Houston or Newark in both directions and the flight is anywhere from 7 to 10.25 hours.

ATL to SJO direct on Delta in 4 hours is tough to beat. Of course you pay for that privilege ($567 inc taxes and fees).
Good thing I had enough SkyMiles for my next 3 trips.

What I want to know is, how is Delta going to fly a 737 down to SJO on Oct 31st (one flight at 10:45AM only) and return it at 2PM yet they also have a return at 9AM on Nov. 1st in a 757? Are they dead-heading an empty plane down there? Interesting.
