This positive trend continued in January 2024, with almost 10,000 French visitors, underlining Costa Rica’s undeniable appeal.
An offer adapted to all seasons
Air France will adjust its flight frequency according to the season, with a daily service until the end of March, then a resumption from June to September, thus covering the peak tourist season.
