Flying private from San José to Tortuguero

Why fly private from San José to Tortuguero?

The San José–Tortuguero corridor connects Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) with Tortuguero Airport (TTQ). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 30 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.

The whole aircraft is $930 — 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 $186 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.

Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) — departure

Juan Santamaría International Airport sits in Central Valley, 30 min from San José city center / 20 min from Escazú. The runway is 3012m of asphalt and the airport operates 24/7.

Tortuguero Airport (TTQ) — arrival

Tortuguero Airport serves Caribbean. No road access — boat transfer to lodges. The runway is 530m of grass, and the airport operates 6am-5pm.

On arrival, AeroRide passengers clear the FBO in minutes — no baggage carousel, no commercial crowd. Ground transfers are arranged in advance through the same WhatsApp line.
