Deal Alert: Flights to Costa Rica From $214 Round-Trip

If you’re looking for a place to go with plenty of activities then add Costa Rica to your plans because flights are available for as low as $214 round-trip.

Whether you want to explore the rainforest, hike up a volcano or just relax on the beach — there’s something for every type of traveler in this beautiful country. And if you need anymore of a reason to go, the winter is their dry season.

All of these low fares are in each airline’s version of basic economy, so you’ll have to pay additional fees to check a bag and select seats ahead of time, and may not be eligible for upgrades.

Some of these fares are available as soon as November, but you’ll have to play around with your dates and routes on Google Flights to see what fits your travel dates.

To search, head to Google Flights and enter your origin and destination cities. Scroll through the calendar function to find dates and prices that work for you. Finally, click through to book directly with the airline or through an OTA like Priceline or Expedia.
