Starting March 31, 2025, Avianca is launching two new direct flights from Juan Santamaría International Airport in Costa Rica to Miami in the US and San Juan in Puerto Rico.
The new routes are flown on planes that carry 180 passengers, for a total of 3,600 seats across both routes.
Flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico, will run Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, departing at 7:30 a.m. and arriving at 12:40 p.m.
The Miami route, meanwhile, will run daily, leaving Juan Santamaría at 8:25 a.m. and landing in the US city at 1:15 p.m.
Keep in mind that to travel to either destination, you need a valid US visa.
These new Avianca routes to Miami and San Juan aim to give Costa Rica’s main airport better connections to more destinations.
That adds up to 3,600 new seats for travelers flying out of Costa Rica.
A Google Flights search shows the average price on the San Juan route is $189 and on the Miami route $220, both round trip with just a backpack.
William Rodríguez, Costa Rica’s tourism minister, stressed the importance of these new Avianca flights to San Juan and Miami.
“These new direct routes strengthen Costa Rica’s connections to the Caribbean and the United States, and they boost tourist arrivals.”
The airline said tickets are already on sale through its official website, as well as at its physical points of sale.
