The route
The United Airlines route from San Francisco International Airport to Juan Santamaría International Airport provides a vital direct link between Northern California and Central America. As a daily year-round service starting in 2025, this route caters to both adventure seekers and business travelers looking for efficient access to the heart of Costa Rica.
Spanning over 3,000 miles, this non-stop service connects two major hubs using the modern Boeing 737 MAX 8. The flight eliminates the need for domestic layovers, offering a streamlined travel experience for passengers departing from the West Coast of the United States.
This direct connection is significant for travelers who previously relied on connections through Houston or Los Angeles. It significantly reduces total travel time and enhances the appeal of Costa Rica as a destination for Silicon Valley residents and tech professionals.
