United is offering NONSTOP flights from Houston (IAH) to San Jose, Costa Rica (SJO) for $246, round-trip. Flights August to November. Late night flights.
This deal has been available for several months now, but it’s worth re-posting due to the price decreases. See the flight details section in this post for working example dates. Southwest Airlines is matching this sale for October to Mid-2016.
Note: Getting short weekend vacations will be tricky with this one since most departures are on a Thursday and most returns are on a Friday.
Note: While this is also available on Spirit, you should avoid them due to excessive fees, baggage alone will add +$80-$90 to the cost of travel.
