Flights to Costa Rica kick off in style
On October 3, Breeze Airways launched TPA's first nonstop flights to Costa Rica in over 25 years. The Airport threw a gate party complete with cupcakes and custom luggage tags to celebrate the occasion.
New month, new route! On October 3, Breeze Airways launched brand-new nonstop flights from TPA to San Jose, Costa Rica. This route is the third international destination Breeze has started at TPA this year.
To celebrate this milestone, TPA served up custom cupcakes and gave away special luggage tags for travelers aboard the inaugural flight.
Flights from TPA to San Jose are currently offered twice each week on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
"Adding nonstop service to Costa Rica is a milestone we've been working toward for years, and now it's finally a reality," said Alex Heiter, TPA Director of Air Service Development. “This route connects the Tampa Bay community to a popular vacation destination, strengthens our business ties with a vibrant trade partner, and gives our travelers an easy way to reach friends and family in Central America.”
This new route reflects strong ties between Tampa Bay and Costa Rica. Each day, about 134 people travel between TPA and the Central American nation. This new nonstop flight will make a lengthy journey into a much shorter trip.
San Jose is one of many international destinations that Breeze has (or will soon) offer at TPA.
Earlier this year, the airline launched nonstop flights from TPA to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic and Nassau, the Bahamas. Breeze plans to offer two more international routes by the end of 2026, with service to Cancun, Mexico, and Montego Bay, Jamaica, set to begin in December.
By the end of 2026, Breeze will provide travelers with nearly 40 total nonstop destinations from America's Favorite Airport.
