Orlando International (MCO) to Juan Santamaría International (SJO) covers about 1,288 miles. This city pair is usually a connecting trip: about 1,288 miles of flying, with the shortest timed itineraries near 3 hours plus a layover.

For MCO–SJO we show about $119 on the low end and around $255 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. A $119 one-way is a sale-shaped guide, not a fare you can screenshot and demand. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.
Search MCO to SJO on Azurovia, compare airline-direct and travel-site totals on the same flights, then finish with the seller. We do not ticket. Keep their confirmation for changes.
Distance and time MCO–SJO
The map distance is about 1,288 miles. Without a regular nonstop from MCO to SJO, plan on 3 hours of flying plus a connection. Filter results by total trip time, not only by the number of stops.
San Jose is about 1 hour behind Orlando on standard time (America/New_York vs America/Costa_Rica). Arrival clocks on SJO are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
Most Orlando–San Jose journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from MCO. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at Miami International (MIA), George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.
