I'd say, Just how soon you know for certain that you'll be going. The earlier you book your flight the cheaper your tickets are. That will obviously mean a lot of money saved in our already poor economy
2 :
As soon as you are going for sure start looking at flights and prices online. Prices can change day to day (sometimes they go up or down a couple hundred dollars) If you are really money conscience get in the habit of checking prices everyday and once the price gets lower than it has been it is time to book it!!! the closer you get to the travel date typically the more expensive it will be. check websites like: www.travelocity.com expedia.com hotwire.com orbitz.com those website check all the major carriers so it easy to compare!

No less than 21 days out to get the best price. After that they go up a lot.

How many hours earlier should I arrive at the airport before my flight

How many hours earlier should I arrive at the airport before my flight?
I'm taking Continental Airlines from San Jose, CA to Cancun, Mexico. I'm going to make a stop at Houston, Texas first though, so I was wondering how many hours I should arrive earlier? Thanks!

Not knowing what time of day your flying, its not accurate but you should be there no later than 2 hours before your flight.
2 :
International flight, three hours.
3 :
Since you are flying internationally, you should arrive at the airport 3 hours before your scheduled departure time. This will allow you to have enough time checking in, going through security, and finding your gate. Remember, on international flights, you must be at the gate 45-60 mins before the departure time. Enjoy your trip!

Cheap flights from Ft Lauderdale Florida (FLL) to San Jose Costa Rica (SJO)

Cheap flights from Ft Lauderdale Florida (FLL) to San Jose Costa Rica (SJO) ?
So I was looking up tickets for a vacation to Costa Rica in the mid December. From the 13th till the 21st. I've been doing research and the cheapest I can find at the moment is $340. Ouch! Anyone know of anywhere that I could find something less? Thanks in advance. I've already looked at Expedia, Kayak, and Orbitz.. anything other then those sites I should know about? I will actually be flying out of Miami because I've discovered its on average about $20 cheaper.

honestly that seems like a pretty good deal....considering the time of year you plan on going. honestly i cant see you getting a much cheaper flight then that. your going around christmas break time....the longer you wait...the more the prices will sky rocket.
2 :
I agree with Curious (the above answer), that sounds like a great deal, providing they are round-trip tickets ;-)
3 :
$340?? That is extremely cheap for a flight to Costa Rica, especially in December. Whenever I go, I pay more than $900, sometimes I'm lucky and I can get it for &600's...and that's all the way from the west coast to Costa Rica...Don't be so cheapo-depo!
4 :
You have got to be serious! Ouch for $340 in the middle of the tourist high season? Many people, as someone commented, will be paying $500 and upwards to travel to Costa Rica during the tourist high season. Pay the 340 and laugh all the way to Costa Rica. If you need any other information about Costa Rica, try the TicosLand.com website.

Spirit Arilines had some very cheap fairs, not sure if they are still flying here. Lacsa (TACA) is the next cheapest, however it all depends if it´s high or low season you are traveling. Lic.Gregory Kearney Lawson. http://attorneykearney.com

Thats a great price for the time of year you'll be flying. Keep in mind all those "great" prices we were all getting a few years ago don't exist anymore with the cost of gas and everything. The first time I went to CR I paid $148 before taxes - and this was 4 years ago. Now I can't ever find a flight for less than $400, unless I want multiple stops and 12 hour layovers. The chance of you finding better are slim.

Your best bet is probably Southwest. Last minute travel isn't cheap. It's expensive, or slightly less expensive.
2 :
Check Orbitz.

Greatly depends on how often they have connecting flights. Put your trip into your airline's website and see. With a trip like Texas to Costa Rica, you'd have to find an airline that even goes there. You may fly to another city to get to Costa Rica in the first place. Plus there may be only 1 flight per day there. So if you got there in the morning and the only flight was at night, you'd have to add all day into your travel.
2 :
for correct information look at flight departure and arrival times listed on air line schedules
3 :
id say around 3 hours, maybe little less, little more
