$339 - Flights to Costa Rica from New York City
There's No Shortage of Wildlife in Costa Rica
If you want to save 10-20 dollars there are a few other discount flights available, but they will take 10-14 hours each way rather than 7-8 hours.
I’d probably spend the difference in the airport terminal anyways, so I think these flights are the best deal.
$339 is consistently the price to fly to Costa Rica on many different days, especially in August. Delta flights have a quick layover in Atlanta. American Airlines flights have a quick layover in Miami.
Once you arrive in San Jose, you can book a private van ahead of time to take you to most parts of the country. Van service usually costs about 100 dollars American for a four hour ride to either the East coast, West coast, or into the Costa Rican cloud forest.
Both Costa Rican coasts are full of activities. The East coast tends to have more of a Caribbean vibe. If you are traveling for more than a week, I’d suggest spending a couple of days in the Costa Rica cloud forest, easily accessible via Monte Verde.
While there, you can visit a coffee plantation as well.
