- Fort Lauderdale to Liberia (LIR) — an option for travelers heading to Guanacaste beaches.
- Orlando to San José (SJO) — a gateway for those planning city stays, cloud-forest visits and onward domestic travel.
Flight frequency, seasons and who benefits
The routes are described as seasonal but intended to meet year-round demand peaks. Breeze expects higher frequency during U.S. winter and spring break periods.
- Service will target leisure travelers and families.
- Connections are aimed at passengers seeking nonstop travel to minimize transfer times.
- Smaller markets near the departure points may see renewed tourism flow.
Aircraft type and onboard experience
Breeze plans to operate these services with its fleet optimized for short- to medium-haul leisure routes. The carrier highlights a straightforward onboard product and no-frills pricing model.
- Planes will offer single-aisle seating with options for extra legroom.
- Ticketing will follow Breeze’s à la carte model: base fares plus paid add-ons.
- Food and checked baggage are available for purchase.
Practical tips for travelers booking Costa Rica trips
Travelers should account for entry requirements, luggage rules and airport transfers. Breeze recommends planning ground transportation in advance, especially for arrivals at Liberia.
- Check passport validity and any health advisories before booking.
- Compare total trip cost after adding fees for bags and seats.
- Arrange transfers early during peak season to avoid crowds.
What this expansion means for regional travel
The new routes reflect a trend of low-cost carriers expanding international leisure service. For U.S. travelers, direct flights lower the barrier to short vacations in Costa Rica.
Local tourism boards may see increased visitation from Florida markets. Airlines benefit from higher yield during peak travel windows and improved network connectivity.
