Guide to visiting: Bargain hunting

I plan to post often with tips/suggestions for visiting us because, we'll, we're encouraging visitors! For starters, here's a brief story I came across on when looking up "Costa Rica" on Google News:

From the Dallas Morning News (click link for more):

I believe we'll see bargain fares for at least the first few months of the year, except during spring break. Don't expect deals to all destinations, and flexible fliers will save the most. If Costa Rica is No. 50 on your travel list and you see a round-trip fare of $149, it should move up to No. 1.

Costa Rica should obviously be #1 on your list already, but if you need any more encouragement, this article's promises of bargains should be plenty!
