Where the deals are

Seasonal fares, coast to coast.

Every fare is one way from San José on our 12-seat Grand Caravans. Prices shift with the season — these are the routes on sale right now.

No games, no fine print

How our fares actually work.

A few honest habits that get you the lowest seat on any SANSA flight.

Book early, save more

With just twelve seats per flight, the lowest fares sell first. Booking three to four weeks ahead is the single biggest thing you can do to fly for less — especially in the December–April dry season.

Midweek is cheaper

Fridays and Sundays fill with weekend travellers, so they cost the most. Fly Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday and you'll often find the same window seat for noticeably less — and quieter beaches when you land.

Resident vs. visitor fares

Costa Rican residents fly on special national fares — just enter your cédula when you book and the resident price appears automatically. Visitors see our standard fares, still a fraction of what a private transfer would cost.

Never miss a fare drop

Seasonal fares, straight to your inbox.

We send a short note when new routes open or a fare drops — plus the odd aerial photo that will make you want to book on the spot. No spam, pura vida.
