Flight Arrival/Departure Information:

Before you decide on your flights to Costa Rica please review the flight arrival and departure options. You will be arriving in San Jose at the Jaun Santa Maria International airport (SJO). The majority of our students arrive on the Saturday before they start their programs. This way it will allow for pubic bus travel on Sunday. With the airport pickup our staff will pick you up at the airport and take you to our guest house in San Jose for the overnight stay. The next day’s travel will begin with breakfast at the guest house and our staff leading you to your bus depot for transport to your first campus.

Your departure time will be determined by what campus you wish to end at. Please understand that it takes six hours plus to go from Dominical to San Jose. From the town of La Fortuna (Arenal area) to San Jose is over three hours of bus time. From Turrialba you can reach San Jose in little over an hour. Keep in mind the best time to travel between campuses is in the mornings so if you want to fly out on Sunday you normally need to leave your campus on Saturday. Please know this all sounds a little confusing at first but you are helped by our staff all along the way in getting to your first campus and departing from your last and all places in between.
