What determines the price between Santo Domingo and San Jose? Primarily: flight distance and typical jet-stream winds, fuel costs across the regions you cross, and the handling and parking fees charged at each airport. We confirm everything against real-time aircraft availability. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.
Both cities are served by several airports, giving flexibility on slots and routing:
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic: Las Américas International Airport and La Isabela International Airport.
San Jose, Costa Rica: Juan Santamaría International Airport and Tobías Bolaños International Airport.

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Santo Domingo to San Jose use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 102 km short after reserves on a 1,825 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Las Américas International Airport has 11,000 ft and Juan Santamaría International Airport 9,882 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
