MDE to SJO questions
Morning or evening flight on MDE–SJO?
Operators schedule evening departures around 20:10 from MDE. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the SJO delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from MDE to SJO?
Great-circle distance is 1,057 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 105–121 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MDE–SJO fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 10 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at MDE and arrival-side delay at SJO, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
