Not since Nagoya has Phoenix based America West Airlines ventured beyond contiguous countries..until now! Beginning 12/01 they'll be flying a daily A319 between Phoenix and San Jose, Costa Rica. No doubt a lot of seats will be filled by their America West Vacations division, but this comes as big news for one of our two hometown carriers! The other flies to San Jose as well..but that San Jose is in the Republic of California. RT Simpson Phoenix
