Flying private from San José to Quepos
Why fly private from San José to Quepos?

By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 24 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,050 — 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 $210 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
