The Drake Bay–San José corridor connects Drake Bay Airport (DRK) with Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 41 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,320 — that price already includes the round-trip positioning of the aircraft, FBO access at both ends, meet-and-greet coordination and all luggage handling. With 5 aboard that is about $264 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
Drake Bay Airport sits in Osa Peninsula, 5 min to Drake Bay village. The runway is 762m of grass and the airport operates 6am-5pm.
Juan Santamaría International Airport serves Central Valley. 30 min from San José city center / 20 min from Escazú. The runway is 3012m of asphalt, and the airport operates 24/7.
On arrival, AeroRide passengers clear the FBO in minutes — no baggage carousel, no commercial crowd. Ground transfers are arranged in advance through the same WhatsApp line.
