Tips for Flying LACSA

• Check which carrier is operating your ticket and the fare rules, since regional services and codeshares can have different baggage and change/cancellation policies.
• Verify mileage accrual before booking and choose a Star Alliance partner program to credit to if the ticket is eligible, because benefits depend on the operating carrier and fare class.
• Allow extra connection time when routing through Juan Santamaría (SJO), as regional schedules can be tight and delays on short-haul flights are common.
• Confirm seat selection and any ancillary fees at booking since seat assignment and included services can vary by fare type on regional routes.
