Schedule and Pickup

Private transportation operates with flexible timing based on your scheduled flight departure. Provide your airline, flight number, departure time, passenger count, luggage details, and resort reservation name when booking.

Flight tracking helps identify delays or schedule changes, but travelers should report significant itinerary updates when possible. The recommended pickup time should include driving time, resort departure procedures, airline check-in, baggage drop-off, and security screening.

Pickup is generally coordinated at the resort reception or another approved meeting point. Be ready before the confirmed departure time and arrange luggage collection with the resort in advance.

Travel Tips

Confirm that your flight departs from Liberia Airport rather than Juan Santamaría International Airport near San Jose. The two airports are in different regions and require very different transfer times.

Keep passports, airline documents, medication, electronics, and essential items in your carry-on luggage. Declare golf clubs, surfboards, strollers, wheelchairs, child seats, or oversized suitcases before pickup so the appropriate vehicle can be arranged.

Do not calculate the pickup time using driving time alone. Allow additional time for resort checkout, luggage handling, airport check-in, security, traffic, and unexpected delays.

Coordinate your room or villa departure with the resort before the driver arrives. Moving guests and luggage to the main meeting point may require extra time within the property.

Reserve your Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, to Liberia Airport private transportation early to secure a departure time that supports your flight schedule. Travel directly in an air-conditioned private vehicle, avoid fixed shuttle departures, and reach the terminal with dependable luggage, timing, and airport coordination.
