Flying private from La Fortuna to San José
Why fly private from La Fortuna to San José?
The La Fortuna–San José corridor connects La Fortuna / Arenal Airport (FON) 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 25 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,366 — 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 $273 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
