I have made most of my trips using American and Spirit Airlines. You can get some pretty good fares using Spirit which departs from LGA. Dont bring any luggage just use a backpack that will fit their allowed dimensions. or get charged an extra $40.00.
Unfortunately those bargain fares means arriving past midnight and requiring an overnight stay in Managua. Has anyone used the Liberia airport in Costa Rica which may have more arrivals ? An early arrival would mean you can make the trip to the southern portion of Nica, e.g San Juan del Sur in about the same time as you would from Managua airport. Will this alternative route be worthwhile ? I also heard that a new airport is being constructed. This would definitely make life easier instead of the long two and half hours trip from Managua.
