MADRID to SAN JOSE (COSTA RICA)
For the Friday Night Flight I decided to fly a really fun flight between Madrid and San Jose, Costa Rica. I’ve really been having fun with routes that have fun approaches in Central and South America and this was one of them. San Jose is 3,000 feet above sea level and the approach takes you through mountains, the city is actually elevated above the surrounding terrain making it a stunning and beautiful approach. I timed my takeoff so that sunrise would happen over the Caribbean Sea and it was worth it. Flight time was 10 hours and 20 minutes
