Departure: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)

Your journey starts at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. From the airport, public buses and shared shuttles run to the centre and to Alajuela and Heredia, but they stop at fixed points and cases need to be carried; a private car goes straight to the hotel and is simpler for families, late arrivals, early departures and day trips to the volcanoes and the coasts.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your hotel in San Jose to Juan Santamaría International Airport

Arrival: Quepos La Managua Airport (XQP) and getting into Quepos

The flight lands at Quepos La Managua Airport (XQP). Quepos is the Pacific coast town beside Manuel Antonio National Park, known for its beaches, wildlife and sport fishing. From arrivals you have taxis, public transport and, if you book it with us, a Haqqi Tours driver waiting with your name. For a family with bags, a pre-booked airport transfer is the easiest way to finish the San Jose to Quepos journey: fixed price, flight tracked, straight to the hotel door.

Onward flights or trains from Quepos the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a San Jose to Quepos departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the San Jose to Quepos flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from San Jose to Quepos. Full-service fares typically include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare

Flying with children, families and groups from San Jose to Quepos

Families fly the San Jose to Quepos route with us all year round.

We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Best time to fly from San Jose to Quepos

For the fare itself, the cheapest flights from San Jose to Quepos are found outside school holidays and major events, on mid-week days, booked early. Peak weeks sell out first and cost most; shoulder months give the best mix of weather, availability and price.

Return flight from Quepos to San Jose

We book the return leg from Quepos to San Jose just as easily, generally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much is a flight from San Jose to Quepos?

The cost of a flight from San Jose to Quepos depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from San Jose to Quepos: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from San Jose to Quepos is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our booking desk applies on every booking:

• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday

We answer "what is the cheapest way to fly from San Jose to Quepos?" many times a day; the answer for your travel date comes back on WhatsApp with the booking ready to confirm.
