Just keep searching American, Delta and US Air. Rates change daily so keep watch. |

If you're not going until February you may get better fares after New Years Day. Also, if you don't already, check EWR. Continental has non-stop flights. |

thanks Jasper, I'm in NYC also and I always fly TACA. I take the nonstop flight, leaves JFK at 5:40am, gets to SJ at 9:40am. Coming back it leaves SJ at 6:30pm, arrives at JFK around midnight. No traffic to/from airport and no lines at check-in/security. The price is usually right too. I am currently looking for a flight for 1/31-2/6, but the fares are high at $572 (w/ tax). In December or after the holidays, that price should be down to mid to upper $400's. I am going to CR this week. I paid $433 (w/ taxes). I bought my ticket 5 weeks ago. If you buy it too far out, you will end up paying too much. Also, check taca.com, there are sometimes specials. If you need any other info, PM me. |

I live on Orlando and I'm planning my first trip to CR in January. I've been watching airfare...checking every few days and $480-$550 seems to be about the norm. Is this about right or should I take a chance and wait another couple of weeks before booking? Niko |

Over the years TACA has had specials on Christmas & New Year"s Day but they only last for a day or two. Check their web site Cristmas Eve or sign up for their email list. JD |
