Liberia is the town you fly into for Costa Rica’s Pacific beaches: Playa del Coco, Playa Hermosa, Tamarindo and the Papagayo Peninsula are all reached from here, and Rincón de la Vieja volcano and its hot springs are just northeast of town. The airport is eight miles west of the city on the road to Nicoya. This is the dry side of the country, with a real dry season from November to April.
The airport’s route map doesn’t list a nonstop between Indianapolis and Liberia, and every itinerary Google Flights priced on October 9 for the dates we read connected at least once. The cheapest fares were American at $527 for two days leaving December 7 and three days leaving March 1, through Miami going out, and $523 for six days leaving May 15, though that one has a long layover in Charlotte going out. Delta matched $527 through Atlanta on the December dates, Alaska was $524 through Los Angeles or Seattle on the May dates, and United started at $541 on the December and March dates. The lowest round trip we’ve recorded on this route is $346, from March 2024.
