The Big Picture
We’re seeing excellent nonstop business class award availability from Miami (MIA) to Liberia (LIR) and San José (SJO), Costa Rica for just 15,000 miles each way, with 2+ seats available on select dates. Flights are operated by American Airlines and offer a comfortable, short-haul premium experience at an exceptional price point. Taxes and fees are reasonable, running approximately $38 outbound and $69–$80 on the return.
At 15,000 miles each way, this pricing is lower than booking the same route directly through American Airlines, where award fares typically start at 20,000 miles. That makes this one of the best-value ways to book business class to Costa Rica right now.
This deal is bookable through Alaska Airlines for flights operated by American Airlines. If you don’t have Atmos Rewards, check American Airlines directly to see if the same flights are available at a slightly higher mileage rate. Alternatively, if you don’t have Atmos Rewards or AAdvantage miles, we’re also seeing availability during the same time frame on Avianca-operated flights, bookable through Air Canada Aeroplan for 20,000 miles—a strong option if you’re looking to use transferable points.
