Goodness tickets to Costa Rica Liberia airport are so freaking expensive in December, like 1200K economy per person. Any recommendations on how to get there for cheap from NY or DC or PHL?

1.2 M for a ticket? Seems expensive to me

Well it’s 15k each way from MIA on American in December. Just find Saver Main Cabin availability from poly and route via MIA. Example: Dec 11, 15k from Philly. Unless that was a typo, there are no awards that are 1.2 million points to, um, anywhere.

You can fly Etihad’s apartment for just 65k AA miles...

My bad. Anytime I read a flight price with a K in it and no dollar symbol, I just assumed it was with miles. Good luck! Southwest is a good option as well. For a cheaper flight you may have to purchase two round trips on different airlines. May be cheaper to do a positioning flight first followed by the direct to LIR

Have you tried SJO? It’s not too long a drive

Check out Southwest

Fly to San Diego and then get your tickets from Tijuana which is right at the border. Went to Costa Rica 3 years ago from that airport for $300 round trip when San Diego tickets were 2-3x that
