I am trying to plan a trip to costa rica. I have been there several times before, so i know how much it costs once i get there. however, i have moved from florida, so i no longer have any idea how much it costs to get there. I have been checking all the interntet travel sites, and yesterday saw a flight on orbitz for $234 from new york. Most of the fares i have seen from dc (where i will likley have to leave from) are around $450. Should i be expecting to eventualy find a fare similar to the NY one on orbitz, or should i prepare to pay 450. I am somewhat flexible since i dont have to make any hotel reservations, but i must ask for my days off several weeks a head of time (meaning i am not sure if online auctions will work). If you all could give me any help i would greatly apprecieate it. thanks
