Travel enthusiasts eager for a journey to San Jose, Costa Rica, have a notable airfare opportunity. According to an analysis from Matrix Airfare Search by ITA Software, the current fare stands at $451 for Regular Economy. Meanwhile, using the same travel dates, American Airlines lists the fare as $389 for Basic Economy and $451 for Regular Economy.
The $451 option permits standard-sized carry-on luggage and one personal item, along with the opportunity for advance seat selection. Conversely, the $389 Basic Economy fare restricts passengers from pre-selecting seats, making any changes or cancellations impossible, and involves boarding at the end of the process.
