Lowest sample to SJO: $337 round trip from EWR, Mar 24–Mar 31. Different arrival airports may use different dates.
Airport informationThis page searches SJO — Juan Santamaría International Airport. Airport coverage follows the destination city market in the passenger dataset, with minor airports excluded. Always check the airport code on both legs: a city search can include different arrival airports, and the cheapest option may not be closest to where you are staying.
Read the sourceBTS recorded 160,924 scheduled passengers departing JFK, Newark and LaGuardia for this destination city market from 2025-06 to 2026-05. That puts it at number 91 in our selected ranking. These are historical on-flight market passengers, not unique travelers, current flight frequencies or a measure of search popularity.

The lowest seven-night round-trip search fare in our archive is $337, recorded Sep 11, 2026 for EWR to SJO, Mar 24–Mar 31, 2027. Our route archive starts Sep 10, 2026. This is our observed record, not an industry-wide all-time low, a verified booking price or a current offer.
Our lowest current seven-night sample is $337 round trip for one adult in economy, from EWR to SJO, Mar 24–Mar 31, 2027. It was checked Sep 11, 2026. This is a dated search result, not a guaranteed ticket price; confirm the return and full fare conditions before paying.
For the matched Mar 24–Mar 31, 2027 search, EWR had the lowest sample at $337. The highest and lowest airport fares were $149 apart. That applies to those dates and settings only. Try other matched dates and add your own ground transport cost in the airport calculator above.
The current sample includes a nonstop outbound from EWR to SJO on Nov 9, 2026, with a round-trip search fare of $463. Check the return direction separately: a nonstop outbound does not guarantee a nonstop return.

This destination market includes Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). Check the exact arrival code on the fare you choose, then compare the onward journey to your accommodation. The arrival section links airport information and our source-backed planning notes.
Not necessarily. The buttons open separate searches with matching airports and dates when a dated sample is available. Providers can show different airlines, sellers, baggage rules and live prices. The sampled Google Flights price is never a Skyscanner quote.
Do not assume bags are included unless the provider explicitly confirms them. Our research shows flight search fares; the accommodation and rental-car links are separate planning tools. Compare the final total, cancellation terms and location before booking any part of the trip.
