Airlines flying from San Jose to Tamarindo
On the flight from San Jose to Tamarindo you can choose between Sansa and Skyway. A full-service airline normally includes a checked bag, a meal and a flexible ticket; a low-cost fare is cheaper at the start and adds those items one by one. We provide both and tell you the total for the way you actually travel.
- Sansa - San Jose to Tamarindo
- Skyway - San Jose to Tamarindo
Departure: Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO)
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) is where the San Jose to Tamarindo flight begins. Terminals, gates and closing times are in the confirmation we send, with a note on the airport's security and passport checks. Arrive with a proper margin; low-cost carriers in particular close bag drop strictly on time.
- Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one
- 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
Arrival: Tamarindo Airport (TNO) and getting into Tamarindo
You arrive at Tamarindo Airport (TNO). Public transport and taxis leave from the arrivals level. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Tamarindo, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.
Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.
Baggage, seats and classes on the San Jose to Tamarindo flight
Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from San Jose to Tamarindo. Full-service fares usually 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.
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- 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 airline; families seated together on request
Flying with children, families and groups from San Jose to Tamarindo
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
Things to do in Tamarindo when you land
Playa Grande, Tamarindo Beach, Playa Langosta and Las Baulas National Marine Park are what most passengers come to Tamarindo for. Tamarindo is the lively Guanacaste beach town on the Pacific, popular for surfing, sunsets and nearby national parks.
Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Tamarindo; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from San Jose to Tamarindo
Every season has its case for Tamarindo. On the flight from San Jose to Tamarindo, seasons show in fares more than in schedules: holiday departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for summer, Christmas, New Year, Eid and Easter journeys.
Return flight from Tamarindo to San Jose
The Tamarindo to San Jose flight is the same route in reverse, about 40 minutes. Haqqi Tours provides the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.
How much is a flight from San Jose to Tamarindo?
"How much is the San Jose to Tamarindo flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.
Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
Cheapest flight from San Jose to Tamarindo: how to pay less
A cheap San Jose to Tamarindo flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we verify for you:
- 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 look up
- 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 typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
When you fill in the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest San Jose to Tamarindo flight first, then the alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Can I change or cancel my flight ticket?
It depends on the carrier and the fare class - flexible tickets can be changed, the cheapest generally cannot. We spell out the conditions before you confirm and handle any change for you afterwards.
Can I book a return flight from Tamarindo to San Jose?
Of course. Tick "return" on the form with the date you come back; we compare a round-trip fare against two one-ways and book the cheaper one. Not sure of the return yet? We spell out the flexible options.
How do I book flights from San Jose to Tamarindo?
Send the short form on this page with the date you travel, one-way or return, passengers and class. Our booking desk replies on WhatsApp with the flights that day, the baggage each fare includes and the cost; once you confirm, the electronic ticket arrives in the same chat.
Do you provide flights in the other direction or to other cities?
We do. Haqqi Tours books any route - the return from Tamarindo to San Jose, or onward flights from Tamarindo - and puts it all on one booking.
Can I book the San Jose to Tamarindo flight for a group?
Certainly. Give the number of travellers on the form; we book everyone together in one reservation and, when the numbers justify it, ask the carrier for a group fare.
What happens if I miss the flight?
The cheapest fares are forfeited; flexible fares can be rebooked for a fee or free. We tell you which rules apply before you commit to anything, and our WhatsApp desk helps on the day if something goes wrong.
Is baggage included in the San Jose to Tamarindo flight ticket?
It depends on the fare: full-service fares usually include a checked bag, low-cost fares include a cabin bag only. We tell you exactly what is included before you book and add a suitcase at the cheaper booking rate if you need one.
Are there direct flights from San Jose to Tamarindo?
Yes - Sansa and Skyway fly non-stop from San Jose to Tamarindo, daily. We book the non-stop flight unless a connection is much cheaper and you prefer it.
Can I add extra baggage or sports equipment?
Of course. Extra bags, skis, golf clubs and bicycles are added at booking on most airlines, cheaper than at the airport. Tell us what you are carrying and we include it in the cost.
Can Haqqi Tours arrange airport transfers?
Of course. We provide private transfers from your hotel to Juan Santamaría International Airport and from Tamarindo Airport to your accommodation, flight tracked, on the same confirmation as the ticket.
What is the difference between economy and business class?
Business class means a much larger seat, a meal, lounge access, priority boarding and normally a more flexible ticket; economy is the practical choice for a 40 minutes flight. We send the cost of both.
Where do I land in Tamarindo?
You land at Tamarindo Airport (TNO). Taxis and metro, tram or bus leave from arrivals; a Haqqi Tours driver can meet you at the exit with your name if you add a transfer.
How long is the flight from San Jose to Tamarindo?
Roughly 40 minutes non-stop between Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and Tamarindo Airport (TNO). Exact times depend on the airline and the departure; we send them with each option.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
The carrier must rebook you and may owe assistance or compensation under the rules that apply; our WhatsApp desk guides you through it. A transfer booked with us tracks the flight, so the driver waits.
How early should I be at Juan Santamaría International Airport?
About two hours before an international flight and ninety minutes before a domestic one; more at peak times or if you have bags to check. Low-cost airlines close bag drop strictly on time.
