There's a ton of fares in the $300 range from WASH/DULLES....good flight times and schedules for many months ahead. Seems TACA got them all lowering there fares. :D

I booked directly through the Delta website and the fares were about $15 less than the same flights as shown using YahooTravel.

I screwed up my travel dates - you have to be careful; the cells where you enter the dates rest automatically. This ticket is leaving Dec 4 and returing on the 11th.

I can't be gone for a week so I called Delta and explained the issue and they said I could buy a new ticket and then cancel the old one. I have not bought the new ticktet yet but I did check fares for multiple dates and there are lots of options for under $300 with trips in the first half of the month. Incidently, just for fun I priced just the connection RT from ATL to SJO and that was $530 for the same exact flights on the same days. So I can fly from Detroit to ATL to SJO and back of $275 or I can fly from Atlanta to SJO and back on the same plane for almost double the money.

So far this is the only benefit I have found to living in Michigan

I'm flying on Taca from IAD (Dulles near DC) for $270.42 w/ taxes and fees included. Got it directly from their website. Dates: Feb 29 thru March 6. It was a lot less than flying the major airlines or using Expedia or Orbitz. Plus they don't charge extra for a meal.

You must've booked that a few months ago. I've been cehcking Taca and they haven't had any sales (at least out of NY) in at least 3-4 months.

O,

Taca's fares out of Dulles have been in the $250 to $300 range for months. It has caused all the other airlines to drop to that range or slightly higher as well. Dulles is a great place to fly to Costa Rica from. :)
