Tips for 35 min Connections
Nosara has no international flights, so all connections here are domestic-to-domestic with small turboprops.
Arrive with paper or printed tickets since check-in is informal and often handled curbside or in the open-air shed.
Luggage is weight-restricted and hand-carried across the tarmac, so pack light if connecting between two short domestic hops.
There are no shops, lounges, or real waiting areas, so plan your own food and water before arriving.
Flight schedules can shift with weather or demand, so confirm same-day connections directly with Sansa or Aerobell staff on site.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is only one small terminal shed and one apron, so all arriving and departing flights use the same space. There is no shuttle, no train, and no security re-screening between flights since there is effectively no separate airside zone.
