Via US
There are flights from London Heathrow and Manchester Airports to Costa Rica via the US that have same day connections through cities such as Miami, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas and New York. Most flights from the US arrive at San Jose Airport in the Central Valley, an ideal location to start a tour of Costa Rica, however, there are flights with United Airlines and American Airlines that arrive at Liberia airport in the northern Pacific region, ideal for the Pacific coast and surfing towns.
Flights via the US require that you pass through US immigration when connecting which requires application of a US Visa Waiver at least 72 hours prior to arrival if you are a British passport holder. At Naturally Costa Rica we can arrange itineraries that include a holiday combining time in the US with a stay in Costa Rica, please contact us to discuss further on 0208 274 8510 or email your requirements to info@naturallycostarica.co.uk.
