Deal Alert: Fly to Costa Rica from the US starting at $212 round-trip

A new fare promotion is currently offering the chance to fly to Costa Rica at a huge discount. Several airlines, including American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines, have flights to the tropical country for as little as $212 round-trip.

Thanks to its wildly diverse landscape, Costa Rica offers visitors a wide variety of activities. Whether you’re hiking or ziplining through lush rainforests or surfing some of the most beautiful beaches, you’ll find no shortage of activities to do in Costa Rica. Plus, the country is also known as a pioneer of ecotourism.

This deal includes flights to both San Jose (the capital of Costa Rica) and Liberia, Costa Rica. San Jose is the geographic and cultural center of the country, with plenty of museums, theaters, and other attractions to build your itinerary around. On the other hand, adventurous travelers and beach lovers will likely be enticed by the promotional fare to Liberia, located in Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province near lush rainforests and popular spots like Playa Hermosa. If you want to soak in the “pura vida” mantra that defines Costa Rica, Liberia is the place to visit.

The flight window for the discounted fares is from late August through February of next year, but the best available time is in fall 2024. Flights in this sale from Baltimore and Washington, DC have stops and are basic economy fares. There are also direct flights from Miami.

All fares except United’s include carry-on bags. Checked bags cost $35 to $40 per bag. Some of the lowest fares listed in this deal may have to be booked through online travel agency.
