Looking for a tropical getaway this fall? JetBlue is offering round-trip flights from Chicago to Liberia, Costa Rica starting at just $300 for travel in September and early October.
This is a new all-time low for this route since I began tracking fares. The previous low was $302, which I found back in October 2025. Considering this route is typically priced at $650+, this is an exceptional value.
September and early October are a great time to visit Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region. While you may encounter occasional tropical showers, you’ll also find lush green landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent opportunities to enjoy beautiful beaches, national parks, waterfalls, wildlife, surfing, and zip-lining.
✈️ Why Fly Into Liberia?
Liberia’s Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) is the perfect gateway for travelers headed to Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. It’s smaller, easier to navigate than San José, and puts you within an hour of many of the country’s top beaches, resorts, and national parks. You can land, clear customs, and be swimming in the Pacific Ocean before lunch.
