“These new flights… will help us provide the service our customers are asking for.” The flight is tentatively scheduled to leave Ft.Lauderdale every day at 2:30 p.m. and arrive to Juan Santamaría at 4:20 p.m. and return to Ft.Lauderdale from Costa Rica leaving at 5:25 p.m. and arriving at 9:15 p.m., the statement said. The flights will be serviced by a 148-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
