  • If you need a change of scenery from the busy streets and cool climate of New York City, book a flight to beautiful Costa Rica for an unforgettable tropical getaway. While the Central American country may be a little further than some of the more tourist-heavy warm-weather destinations, the unspoiled beaches and lush rainforests are well worth the trip. Find your cheap flight from New York City to Costa Rica, and start planning your vacation today.

  • How long is the flight from New York City to Costa Rica?

    A direct flight from New York City to San Jose lasts around five hours, and a flight to Liberia is about the same. Keep in mind that your trip can get a few hours longer if you book a flight with a connection in another city.

Kennedy International Airport is New York's major airport handling international flights, but you can find more direct flight deals from neighboring Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey.

    You can find the most affordable nonstop flights running from Newark Liberty International Airport to Juan Santamaría International Airport.

Unlike the concrete jungle of New York City, the blend of mountains, rainforests and sandy coastlines offers a tranquil getaway. On the other hand, if you're looking for adventure, ruin exploration tours, hang-gliding and zip lines abound, and the vibrant cities such as San Jose offer restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
