Greetings:

Monger from ATL that has never been to CR, but enjoy the site and look forward to 1st visit. Anyway, most in Atlanta know about a guy on the radio named Clark Howard who points out travel bargins. This was sent out a couple days ago and looks like a great deal. See you in CR.

Round-trip from Atlanta:

- $260 Liberia, Costa Rica
- No advance purchase required
- Add $15 per direction for Fri.-Sun. travel
- Stay 3-120 days
- Complete travel by April 30
- Valid on Continental

if you want to stay in San Jose, it is another flight or drive to San Jose....

Bus would be the cheapest way.Best I recall express bus is 3 or 3 and a half hours for a few bucks less than $10 I feel sure.I still seems to me there should be limited action in Liberia but have never seen anything posted.rbc100

If it were a direct flight it could be a decent option. But you have to look at the arrival/departure times to see if it makes sense.. If it arrives in evening then you catch a bus to San Jose, did you kill a day? If on return it leaves early morning could you catch a bus or do you have to leave for Liberia the day before? Knowing Continental it connects through Houston so it could be a time consuming flight to start with. Like Delta does to Atlantans that catch the direct flight to San Jose, Continental is probably letting people on board cheap but hosing the people that get on in Houston. Clark Howard's site usually doesn't include taxes so that's probably a $400 seat once ticketed.

I was getting hosed a few weeks ago on price but found a $401 total direct on Delta by searching expedia after trying orbitz and a few others with no luck. It always pays to search every engine because they are different. It seems like the airlines give each engine a certain amount of cheap seats to sell or something so that you never know which search engine hasn't sold through theirs.

You can fly either Sansa or Nature Air for around $70-80. each way. It's only a 40 minute flight. I've done it many, many times. No Problems.
