Jumpseating to Costa Rica
 

Anyone ever j/s to Costa Rica? Not too concerned about getting there, but was wondering if it was a hassle getting back?

leaving costa Rica is only a hassle if your name is Joan Rivers!

haha... If you leave out of LIR (Liberia), you have to stand in line and pay the hefty airport fee (~30USD) before you can stand in line to check-in. So plan accordingly.

25 dollar departure tax flying out of SJO.

There are 3 flights a day between ATL and SJO. I think one to LIR.

No worries! I am American/Costa Rican they will not give you any problems I know pilots from UPS/DELTA/SPIRIT/AIRTRAN/JETBLUE/AA/ that live or commute from CR. Enjoy it. Now its a great time to go!!! PM me if you need any tips

If you jump seat in your uniform cant you just walk through the security line and skip the airport fee? I don't know how it works for US airlines but for the carrier I fly they just put me on the Gen Dec and off I go. I usually JS out of CR and not use a ticket to avoid the hefty airport departure taxes and fees and just walk right through the employee security line.

Make sure your in uniform AND on the gen decs. I had major attitude from a customs agent in FLL in uniform and not on decs
