Travelers should inquire about the weather, if they traveling to or from Costa Rica. If you are abroad, this point is of special consideration because not necessarily the airline will wait at the closing of the airport to 
take the precaution of not taking off, that is to say an airline may cancel or postpone a flight even though the Costa Rica airport is operational (not closed).
Important to note, when the operation of the flight is suspended towards Costa Rica, it is possible that the return (outbound) flights that departing from Costa Rica will be affected. Contact your airline.
In some cases, the airlines operate a turn-around flight, so if the flight does not land during the scheduled time, the departure will also be cancelled or delayed. For example, flights coming in late at night, ie American, Delta, United will depart early the next morning. If the evening flight does not come in, there is no morning flight.
At the time of this post Aeris, the airport manager reports normal operations at San Jose.
