So far so good according to tourists and officials in Liberia and Alajuela.  In the peak travel week starting now, Al Dia interviewed officials and users at the airport:

Gary B. Midwinter, arrived to the LIberia airport from Canada and said "I’ve been on my feet for an hour and a half. There are enough personnel, but the service could be quicker.  On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give it a 5."  He and his wife thought that the customs lines were long and more chairs for waiting are needed.

Adelina Geis from Panama said "the service here in Liberia was good. I would only look to improve the board system when they are charter flights"

Miguel Angel Mojic, of Mexico said " In Juan Santamaria the service is faster than before, there are more booths, and I didn’t have to go through such long lines"

Juliana Feano, from Miami rate Juan Santamaria hightly "This is my favorite airport, because the paperwork is faster than in other places."

The Liberia airport administrator, Analive Rosales, explained that on Saturdays about 1,500 people enter the country and another 1,500 leave. Now there are 25 immigration agents and more customs personnel to improve the attention.  For high season, the number of weekly flights increased from 21 to 35 by American Airlines, Continental, Delta, US Airways y United.
