Cheapest Tickets (from a non major city)

[Lost0rz]

I'm wondering where I can get the cheapest tickets to Costa Rica from a non major city , in other words.. Little Rock, Arkansas



P.S. I just looked at the surf cam website for where i used to live on the east coast... i should be in costa rica right noW! http://www.follysurfcam.com/rovinlocals/05rovinlocals/Scott%20Walton/CRJune05%20134.jpg

Go to sidestep.com and use their software to compare prices offered by all airlines and other travel sites. Orbitz.com also has a pretty helpful feature that lets you compare prices if you've got some flexibility in your schedule. Give them the dates you want and then indicate whether you've got one - four days of flexibility. Sometimes you can save $100 or more by just leaving or departing one day earlier / later. Try using both programs with different departure cities within 100 miles or so of where you live - you might get lucky. If you lived on Folly you know how expensive it is to fly out of Charleston. I was kinda surprised to find that I would only save ~ $100 by flying out of Charlotte or Atlanta, so it really wasn't worth the drive. Good luck!

what the *****.
i went to that sidestep site... tickets are like 500some.. ok.

but what is up with the plane ride. it ***** goes from little rock (which is pretty south...) then it fuckin goes to atlanta and north carolina...WTF?????? why the hell would it go UP? Costa rica is DOWN! And the plane ride is 18 ***** hours with multiple stops........ jesus.
even if i do a one stop( WHICH TSTILL FUCKIN GOES UP) .. its 7 hours. Why the hell doesnt it go to HOUSTON? Is houston not a big city? I checked houston and it can go non stop. so why the ***** doesnt it go to houston as its stop....?

Round trip from Atlanta direct to San Jose: $450/person. Delta. The $75 airfare i spoke of in my C.R. post was a one way intra-country airfare from Tamarindo to San Jose.

Try the "SuperSearch" at travelzoo.com. It does a search of all the major travel sites (travelocity, priceline, etc.) The more flexible you can be with your dates the more money you will be able to save. Also, you could try ticotravel.com, they have pretty cheap flights from Miami and Orlando (you just have to find a cheap flight from Little Rock to one of these cities). Not sure if Southwest or Spirit has a Little Rock to Miami/Orlando route, but they have cheaps flight and it's worth a look. Ticotravel also has good deals on rental cars in Costa, if you're looking for one.

thanks. How about Houston? My cousin (the guy im going with) lives there.. so i was thinking of getting one way ticket to houston.. then a roundtrip from houston to costa so we could be on the same plane. besides, isnt Houston a major city? Or not for airports?

The cheapest ticket I could find was around $450 on United...and that was going from Charleston to DC - and then to San Jose. By the time I was able to confirm the dates with the other guy who's going, the best I could do was $524 (on Delta). Two weeks later it was up to $700+, and then dropped back to $550. From Little Rock I doubt you'll find it for less than $500, even though it can fluctuate (but usually in the wrong direction).
