Frontier Airlines, Denver’s “home” airline will start flying to San Jose, Costa Rica in November. Occasionally I check fares on this route for a potential upcoming trip, but have found them to be in the $600 range with the most convenient connection being through Dallas on American.

According to Kayaks’ “fare buzz,” (pictured), this price has now dropped to $300 when scheduling in November. Pretty cool, especially given that arriving in San Jose still necessitates a two hour drive to the beaches. Direct flights, or additional options for easy connecting flights will definitely makes Costa Rica more accessible, hopefully to me this winter.
