Commercial domestic flights in Costa Rica (operated by airlines like Sansa) follow fixed schedules, fly shared cabins, and serve only major airstrips. Private charter flights with Aerocaribe offer: your own exclusive aircraft with no strangers, departure on your schedule from the airport of your choice, access to over 30 airports and airstrips including remote destinations that commercial airlines don’t serve, no check-in lines or shared terminals, flexible baggage handling, and pet-friendly travel. The experience is fundamentally different — it’s private air transport, not a smaller version of commercial aviation.
