The San José–Palmar Sur corridor connects Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) with Palmar Sur Airport (PMZ). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 38 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,290 — 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 $258 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
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.
Palmar Sur Airport serves South Pacific. 30 min to Drake Bay by boat. The runway is 1222m of asphalt, 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.
About 38 min, direct. The private charter flies gate to gate with no connections — a fraction of the overland time.
