Why fly private from San José to Flores / Santa Elena?

By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior.

The whole aircraft is $8,490 — 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 12 aboard that is about $708 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
