Bostonians can escape the cold for the rainforests and beaches of a Central American hotspot this winter on Delta Air Lines.
The Atlanta-based airline recently announced a new seasonal, nonstop service between Boston and Liberia, Costa Rica. Costa Rica was named the 2024 destination of the year by Travel + Leisure magazine.
“This new service will provide Delta customers in Boston direct access to the lush rainforests, majestic volcanoes, and stunning beaches of Costa Rica’s Guanacaste province,” a Delta representative told Boston.com via email.
Flights to Liberia, Costa Rica will operate on Saturdays from Jan.11 through April 13 on the carrier’s Airbus A321neo, which made its debut in Boston in 2022 and carries 194 customers and features domestic first-class recliners.
The Guanacaste province features Rincón de la Vieja National Park, as well as “beautiful churches, an authentic colonial atmosphere, a rich history, and picture-perfect beaches,” according to visitcostarica.com.
In February, Delta announced new nonstop service from Boston to Honolulu, Hawaii this fall. (https://www.boston.com/travel/flights/2024/05/07/delta-is-launching-nonstop-seasonal-service-to-a-central-american-destination-in-2025/)
