American low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines is selling extremely cheap tickets to rather expensive Liberia, Costa Rica. With departure from Atlanta, GA, you can purchase roundtrip tickets for as little as US$160 (~€149) – a fare that includes nothing but a personal item.
Frontier charges $100 roundtrip for a checked bag, $120 for a cabin bag or $240 for the cheapest bundle including both on their website.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates for less than $200 for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to momondo with your selected flight dates.
An Airbus A320neo with the usual 3-3 is scheduled to operate these flights.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Destination
Hotel prices in Liberia usually start at roughly $30, depending on the hotel category. Whichever category and hotel you opt for, make sure to get the best price! Our recommendation is to search on booking.com, or even on our own Travel-Dealz hotel search:
