Peak Season:
The dry season from late November to late April is the best time to book flights to Costa Rica. The weather is extremely pleasant for exploring the forests or laying on the beach. Flights to Costa Rica are more expensive between these months as it’s the main tourist season,so expect big crowds and more expensive hotel rates. If you book your flights to Costa Rica early enough you can sometimes find deals.
Off Season:
Winter is considered between May to November, which is also the rainy season in Costa Rica. However the temperatures are generally mild and pleasant unless you’re up in the mountains. You can find the cheapest flights to Costa Rica during the winter, and you’ll find much cheaper accommodation too. Avoid flights between September and October as they are the rainiest months and some hotels shut down, although you will find cheap flights to Costa Rica.

It was weird that we had to check after security and go to a corral which had no bathroom or other services about an hour before boarding. Had to check out of the corral to leave and check back in.
