Is it better to take a bus from san jose (costa rica) airport to quepos or to take a domestic flight?
My friend recommended that when I got into the county that I fly from san jose airport to quepos. She said that the bus ride is grueling because there is a mountain in the way. However, taking the bus is obviously the more economic option of the two and I would like to conserve my money if it isnt to big of a hassle. Also, I am going during the raining season... will there be any issues with road closures or transportation in general?

I would fly. It's only $56 one-way on Sansa. You can fly directly from SJO (a smaller terminal building just outside the main terminal) to Quepos in about 35 minutes. There are 8 flights daily. (See schedule below). The bus ride sucks, to put it frankly. It's a winding road up then down the mountain. If you get stuck behind a slow truck up (and even down) the mountain, it can be a slow ride. The humidity sucks. I don't think many buses don't have A/C. The one we took did not, but I've heard others say they had A/C.

I totally agree with "Orange". FLY!!! Its a short fun flight and you won't spend all that time on a poorly maintained road. But if you fly you'll miss stopping to see the crocodiles that live under the Tarcoles bridge !

sorry to disagree with the others but i like the bus....i see so much more.....and for me the ride over the mountain makes it that much better and the buses i think are fairly comfortable...

From where? New info added: Thanks for adding that you will depart from Miami. Check out Dutch airline Martinair which fly from Amsterdam to Miami to CR, and usually have the cheapest fares. The other suggestions for Booking Buddy is good, too, but Martinair usually do not show up in the online booking engines; you either have to book from their website or ring this airline directly.

www.bookingbuddy.com might be able to help you. it is good at comparing flights.
3 :
Orbits.com/CheapFlights.com/lowestfares.com/USAirways.com Those are a few, but honestly you'll just have to do some research online. Sometimes going to a travel agency is cheaper than going through an airline directly because they can give out discounts and might be able to hook up you up with a package deal. Check a few in your local area.

When I made the same exact flight a year ago they had meals for purchase. I would always recommend eating your own food ahead of time and bringing a snack for the terminal and for the flight. Eating your own food always reduces the risk of feeling sick during the flight. Enjoy the sunshine! I'm so jealous...
2 :
Call and ask. If it is a direct flight the answer may very well be 'yes.' Actually you'd be better advised to stop at a Subway on the way to the airport. They are sure to provide liquid in flight.
3 :
Usually it says on your ticket (e-ticket) if there is a meal or snack provided on a flight. However, it might be a good idea to prepare your own food or bring a snack. You might not like their food if such would be provided. It has happened to me several times and I was happy that I had my own snacks. Some airlines do offer meals for purchase, but the prices are rather high for what you get.
4 :
no. Jetblue does not serve meals. pack food. no liquids though.
5 :
Not unless you consider peanuts a meal! But, you should be comforted to know that per their new Bill of Rights: (check it out on www.jetblue.com) 1) If you are stuck on a grounded JetBlue plane for over 5 hours they will give you access to a bathroom and medical attention, if needed. 2) If you are delayed due to a "controllable irregularity" you may be eligible to receive a $25 voucher for future service. 3) If your flight is cancelled they will either refund your money or put you on another flight. (as opposed to their previous policy of kicking you in the groin) Have fun...

Can I walk from San Jose Airport to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station? And if so, how long will it take
Can I walk from San Jose Airport to the Santa Clara Caltrain Station? And if so, how long will it take?
I'd like to not take a bus or taxi. I have a flight that arrives at San Jose at 4:23 and I want to make the 4:44 train out of Santa Clara Caltrain station. I don't have to wait for the baggage claim since all I'll have is a carry-on.

No, you can't walk, it's over 4 miles away. Well, I mean, you can, but you sure won't make it in 20 mins! Best to take a taxi. Here is a walking route: http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Santa+Clara&1s=ca&1a=1001+Railroad+Ave&2qn=San+Jose+Intl+Airport&2c=San+Jose&2s=CA&2a=1732+N+1st+St&2z=95112&2y=US&2l=37.36672&2g=-121.925934&2id=41669111#a/maps/l::1001+Railroad+Ave:Santa+Clara:CA:95050-4319:US:37.352001:-121.937258:address:Santa+Clara+County:1/l:San+Jose+Intl+Airport:1732+N+1st+St:San+Jose:CA:95112:US:37.36672:-121.925934:address::1/m::11:37.361086:-121.92759:0:::::1:1:1::/io:1:::::f:EN:M:/e

I agree that you can't walk it in twenty minutes. Even if it were, barely possible, the 4:23 arrival time of your plane means that the plane is expected to touch down at that time. The plane will still have to taxi to the terminal, everyone will have to debark from the plane, you'll have to make your way out of the terminal, and then, you will find yourself on the wrong side of the airport. And this assumes the plane will arrive on time. It could take you twenty minutes or more from the touchdown to you even reaching the terminal exit. It might take you an additional twenty to thirty minutes to get off of the airport grounds, and another half hour to forty-five minutes to get to the Cal Train station. Check out if there is a free airport shuttle from SJC to the San Jose, Diridon Station. San Jose train station is just the next stop, South of the Santa Clara station. I KNOW that there is a free shuttle to the VTA light rail station. The light rail will take you right inside the San Jose CalTrain station. The good news is that, during commuter times, trains arrive and leave every fifteen minutes or so. So, if you miss the train, there will be another arriving and leaving soon after.

I went to kayak.com and guessed at a date. Spirit is a little cheaper but since it isnt that big a difference you are far better off with JetBlue/ 300 is about rock-bottom
2 :
you may try http://www.europeanvacation3.com for cheap flight tickets as it's search over 450 sites for price comparison and which would help to choose cheap flight tickets from those search result.
3 :
I would say that $300 is a great price and would buy the ticket immediately. I doubt you can find a cheaper priced ticket.
4 :
In fact, various airlines such as Continental, US Airways and United offer the same price (total price). Here are a few examples: Travelocity: 298 $ on July 1 , Return July 28 with United (and about the same price with Continental, Delta, or AA). TerminalA : 310 $ (213 GBP) on July 4 Return July 31 with US Airways Opodo : 310 $ (213 GBP) on June 30 Return July 29 with Continental
5 :
check http://flyairfares.com you can get coupons there go to websites of all low cost carriers operating there and search or just use the search engine on flyairfares.com
6 :
there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. just go here: http://bookme.com/flights.php and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
