For the San Jose service, JetBlue’s first in Central America, the airline will operate 100-seat Embraer E190 jets. The service is dependent on approval from Costa Rican authorities.

JetBlue said it has begun selling one-way tickets to Costa Rica starting at $99 through Dec. 23, with fares otherwise starting at $139 each way.

International service has been stronger than U.S. travel, although some carriers have reported a recent falloff in international traffic, especially premium business- and first-class seats.
