50% off Southwest Airlines flights to Costa Rica

Southwest Airlines has launched a 50% off sale for its 50th anniversary, and the promotion includes flights to Costa Rica.

Book here with the code “SAVE50” for the discount. The following conditions apply:

  • Travel must be booked between June 15 and June 17, 2021.
  • The discount is valid for travel between September 15 and November 3, 2021.
  • The 50% discount applies to the base fare, and not to taxes and fees, which can be relatively high on international flights.
  • This promotion applies to all revenue fare types (Wanna Get Away, Anytime, and Business Select).

Southwest Airlines offers flights to Costa Rica from Houston (HOU) and Baltimore/Washington (BWI). It’s planning a new route from Denver (DEN), but that won’t start until mid-November.

The Texas-based carrier resumed flights to Costa Rica earlier this month.

“Costa Rica is a country unlike any other and has so much to offer visitors from exhilarating adventures, like zip-lining through the rainforest, to picturesque beaches along the Pacific Ocean or the Caribbean Sea where you can relax and recharge – not to mention the delicious food that awaits you!” the airline says.

“It’s no wonder that Costa Rica and its natural beauty (one of the most bio-diverse regions in the world), exotic wildlife, and rich culture have become a favorite for our customers.”

Nine airlines offer direct connections between Costa Rica and the United States, the country’s main tourism market: Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Alaska, American Airlines, JetBlue, Spirit, Sun Country, Frontier (as of July 1) and Southwest (as of June 6).

Using the promotion, we’ve found one-way tickets between Houston and Costa Rica as low as $97. Flights include two checked bags.
