E-190 has an ETOPS (Extended-range Twin-engine Operational Standards) rating of 120 minutes...meaning the aircraft must never be further than 2 hours away from the nearest diversion airport with one engine out of commission.

seems like they are cutting back all the nonstops out of LAX too.


Tourism from the states is definitely down and they are reacting to market conditions. Since their fleet basically consist of A319/320/321 aircraft it hard to adjust by changing equipment as AA did when they replaced their MIA/SJO A300 flights with smaller B757 equipment.


That's the sense I'm getting from speaking with tourism providers (fishing and hotels) in Quepos. I just booked an all-day fishing charter on a 37' boat for $950 and got 5 hotel rooms on the beach in Manuel Antonio for $50 each per night. There is a silver lining in every cloud for those of us who can still make a trip.


what hotel in MA on the beach for $50 a night BD? i booked karahe but not for that price


That would be Villa Prats : www.villapratscr.com . The Family rooms (with a kitchenette) normally go for $70 during high season, the owner offered $60. For the simple rooms which go for $60 during high, he accepted $50. The owner, Franklin (Frank) seems like a nice guy, and willing to take care of his guests. He speaks English as well. On the website, there is a North Jersey phone number that is tied into CR phone. My tica gf spent a couple of days there over the holidays, and told me about this place.


oh ok thanks, karahe is actually on the beach, but this looks nice i will check it out when i am down this time. :wink:
