Flying private from San José to Ciudad de Guatemala
Why fly private from San José to Ciudad de Guatemala?
The San José–Ciudad de Guatemala corridor connects Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) with La Aurora International Airport (GUA). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 175 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $12,684 — 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 $1,057 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
