Why fly private from San José (Pavas) to La Fortuna?
The San José (Pavas)–La Fortuna corridor connects Tobías Bolaños International Airport (SYQ) with La Fortuna / Arenal Airport (FON). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 26 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
