departing from SJO
On our return from SJO to New York, how early should we arrive at SJO if our departure time is 6:20 PM? We'll be flying Sansa from Quepos to SJO, and they have flights scheduled to leave Quepos at 12:15 PM and 2:20 PM. Is the 2:20 PM cutting it too close?
Thanks,
ACC

Seems more prudent to take the earlier flight as you can never predict ahead of time when and if the flights will run behind. If you find yourself with a couple of extra hours, catch a taxi over to Zoo Ave and grab that last bit of gusto in Costa Rica. It's an interesting bird/animal rehab place about 10 min from the airport. Good for 1.5 hour or so. Good luck!

Oops! I just rechecked the Sansa website, and the flight times are different. There's a 1:20 PM flight that gets into SJO at 1:50 PM; and there's a 2:59 PM flight that gets in at 3:29 PM. To have "cushion" time for our 6:20 PM flight back to JFK, we should probably take the 1:20 PM Sansa flight, right?

I vote for the earlier flight. Sansa is a good airline, but they frequently run late. Sometimes you really do need most of the officially required three hours to check in for your international flight at SJO.
But that's me.
