The Upala–San José corridor connects Upala Airport (UPL) with Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). By road the journey runs to hours — often across mountainous or unpaved interior. An AeroRide private charter covers it in 37 min, gate to gate, on the schedule you choose rather than a fixed timetable.
The whole aircraft is $1,190 — 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 $238 each. No commercial queues, no check-in counters, no gate lines.
Upala Airport sits in Northern Plains, 40 min to Río Celeste. The runway is 1200m of asphalt and the airport operates 6am-5pm.
Juan Santamaría International Airport serves 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.
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 37 min, direct. The private charter flies gate to gate with no connections — a fraction of the overland time.
$1,190 for the whole aircraft (up to 5 passengers) — about $238 per person with 5 aboard. Includes the round-trip ferry from the base.
Up to 5 passengers with luggage. For larger groups we coordinate a second aircraft — ask on WhatsApp.
