Air Travel
When you register, you will have the opportunity to enter your preferred flight details. We will do everything possible to accommodate your requests. Once registered, you will be contacted via email within three business days with a flight itinerary for your review and approval. Please double-check the spelling of the names of both you and your guest on the itinerary to ensure they match the names on the passports.
An email response is required within 24 hours of receipt, acknowledging that you have received the airline schedule. Upon your approval, the airline ticket will be issued.
Passport Information
If you are traveling to Costa Rica internationally, you will need a valid national passport for entry. It is recommended your passport be valid for six months beyond your return travel date. Depending on your country of origin, the required validity may be different. Please check your passport's expiration date.
Ground Transportation
We will provide round-trip ground transportation to and from the Liberia Airport (LIR) and Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo, on the official program dates of May 4, 2023, and May 8, 2023. Transportation outside of program dates or to/from any other locations in Costa Rica will be at your own expense. Upon arrival, you will be met in the baggage claim area by the transportation staff holding a sign with the LogicMonitor logo. More information will be provided in your pre-trip package.
Currency
The currency in Costa Rica is the Costa Rican colon (CRC), but U.S. dollars are welcome in most places. Please visit www.xe.com for the most current exchange rate.
Most major credit cards are accepted in Costa Rica. It is a best practice to call your bank before leaving the country to advise of international travel dates on any card you plan to use while out of the country. When making major purchases, it is always recommended to charge items to your credit card. The rate of exchange on your credit card will be more favorable than the rate available locally. This is due to the large volume of foreign exchange generated by credit card companies at the more favorable "inter-banking" rate of exchange. The better rate is then passed along to the customer.
Electricity
The electricity standard is 120 volt AC, the same as in the U.S.
