Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Memphis Intl. Airport to SJO last minute?
Booking your flight from Memphis Intl. Airport (MEM) to Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport last minute could help you save if you happen to find an awesome deal.

If your favorite airline hasn’t released tickets yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia all the time.
