Proving once again that there is little rhyme or reason in air fares

There actually is a logic behind airfares, but most of us just aren't privy to that highly proprietary information. It sucks that somebody who's 1500 miles further than pays less than you do.

True, very true

It's a nice price, but 12 hrs layover in Houston - I prefer TACA for $408 and travel time is
51/2 hrs.

That too - the S FL - SJO is direct, and about 2.3 hrs - so there is a catch to everything - still, if you have the time and can put up w/ a 12 hr layover (now that's what I call a phucking layover

) its not a bad deal, money wise - but what do you do for those 12 hours - sit in the airport - sorry, not for me!

12 Hour layover? The available itinerary below is $283.50 all-in from LAX to SJO and the longest layover is 2 hours and 14 minutes.
