I am currently in San Jose. I need to get to Liberia to get my international flight.
Prices I am getting online for the SJO-LIB flight is around $150usd
- ridiculously high prices!!Coincidentally, my hotel receptionist is from Liberia and he flies back almost 10 times a year. He asked on my behalf and the price was $52 (he told them I was not costa rican and they said they still offer it).
While the biggest risk is that at the airport they ask me to pay the difference.. I wanted to know if any other non-Costa Ricans has successfully gotten the 'local' price and not needed to pay the difference at the airport, etc
I am really looking for posts from people who have first hand experience or have heard about real cases about this dual pricing and how it applies to non-Costa Ricans.
$52vs $150 is a huge difference .. Otherwise it's a long 5hr bus journey again for me.. With the risk of traffic delays (a local told me it has taken him 10+ hours on some occasions. Mine will be on Sunday so less risks.
