San Jose International Airport is located in Alajuela, about 10 kilometers (6. 2 miles) from downtown San Jose, Costa Rica.
About San Jose International Airport and Airport Code
The San Jose International Airport code is SJO. The name Juan Santamaria is after a drummer boy who died helping Costa Rica prevent getting taken over by the United States in 1856. Make sure NOT to get SJO confused with San Jose, California whose airport code is SJC.
SJO Airport

Should You Fly Into Liberia or San Jose Airport?
San Jose and Liberia airport are hubs for different parts of the country. Find out which you should fly into before booking flights.
- You should fly into San Jose Airport if you are going to San Jose, Heredia, Alajuela, Cartago, Jaco, Manuel Antonio, Puerto Viejo, Tortuguero, Uvita, Dominical, San Isidro de Perez Zeledon, Turrialba or Sarapiqui.
Those destinations are closest from San Jose than Liberia.
- If you are going to La Fortuna or Monteverde, both destinations are around 3 hours from Liberia and San Jose. However, due to the amount of traffic in San Jose, it could take much longer. So if you are able to, I would choose Liberia over San Jose if you’re going to La Fortuna/Monteverde right away.
- San Jose Airport has more flights than Liberia and is generally cheaper. From Seattle, I found that flights into San Jose were about $100-200 USD cheaper than Liberia depending on the time of the year. However, there are some times of the year where prices are comparable since Liberia is getting more flights. Definitely check both airports.

What to Know About Flying into San Jose Airport
Driving in San Jose can be a nightmare so if you’re renting a car, just know that it’s not an easy drive out of the airport area.

In Liberia, the roads are wider with way less people so driving is much easier.

Third, flying is another option, you can fly from San Jose Airport to Liberia Airport on a local airline like Sansa.

If you are flying on a local airline to take a domestic flight with Sansa, Aerobell or Green. There is now a separate domestic terminal that you have to go to. It is right next to the international airport.

Terminal A
All flights (except for post-flight inspection of individual flights) are serviced at the main airport terminal — terminal A . Post-flight inspection is carried out in terminal D.
You can enter the terminal through the underground level of the terminal (directly from the Aeroexpress underground station), through the arrivals area from ground level (from ground public transport, from multi-storey car parks) or through the departure area at second floor (from the car overpass, entry to which is free). nine0007
Please note that parking on the overpass leading to the departure area of terminal A is prohibited . Since the overpass is a city public street in Moscow, traffic police units, cars for automatically fixing parking violations and evacuators of city services work on it, and fines are also applied in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the city of Moscow. Vnukovo Airport does not manage the process of moving cars to the city parking lots and does not receive funds from the payment of fines. nine0007
The exit from the departure area (the second level of terminal A) to the overpass is closed in order to combat illegal parking and to reduce congestion at the entrance to the terminal. You will not be able to return to your car if you leave it on the flyover and enter the terminal. To park your car, please use one of the airport parking lots.
To enter Terminal A from the Aeroexpress underground station, turn right after the glass doors of the station. However, due to the large influx of passengers during peak hours, a queue may form at the entrance. In this case, to save time after the glass doors, it is better to turn left, left again, go outside to the station square and enter the terminal through the first floor. nine0007
Passenger check-in is carried out at on the second floor of the terminal and automatically closes 40 minutes before the departure time of the flight indicated on the ticket (for Turkish airlines flights — 45 minutes ). Check-in start time depends on the airline, but no later than two hours before departure.
Please do not be late for registration! Employees at the check-in counters do not have the technical ability to re-open the check-in after it ends.
