Flying Sansa Quepos to SJ
 

This coming January, I am looking to fly Sansa from Quepos to San Jose to catch a 1:20pm Continental flight?

Do you think it's safe to take a 10:02am Sansa flight from Quepos, which is scheduled to arrive in San Jose at 10:32am?

I would much prefer that to the earlier 8:23am Sansa flight, but also don't want to miss my Continental flight, and don't know how reliable Sansa is in terms of being on time.

Thoughts?

We took Sansa from the Osa to SJO, and they were late getting us - almost an hour late. I was glad we had taken the early flight just as a precaution. I think you'd probably be okay, but there is a slight risk.

Agree with volcanogirl. IF they are on time, you should be okay. I'd say you're looking at 50/50. HOWEVER, if they are, say, an hour late, you'll still get in at 11:20 or so, which SHOULD be okay for your connection.

I had a similar situation trying to make a 12:50 Continental flight in July. Flew into Pavas (Nature Air) with a 30 minute drive to SJO. Arrived Pavas about 10:50 or 11:00 (later than scheduled). Got to SJO about 11:20, and it worked out just fine. I was very tense, though!

I really think you'll be okay.

It really is a crapshoot. So far, my flights have always been right on the dime, but with any airline - you can never tell for sure. I think you should be okay though.

Thanks, folks. I booked the 10:02 flight. I figured, hey, even if Sansa is 1hr late, I will still have 2 hours before the Continental flight leaves SJO.

I know, I know, famous last words! Right?
