Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from SJO to Auckland Airport last minute?
Being the spontaneous type is a great way to travel, but it’s not necessarily the best way to track down a cheap airfare. It’s better to book your Juan Santamaria Intl.

Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the best time to book domestic flights is between 28 – 35 days ahead of the departure date, and international flights three to four months in advance. Save all that spontaneity for when you reach Auckland Intl. Airport (AKL)!
