I was flying to Costa Rica from Montreal. Airline wanted money for checked luggage, but typically for long distance flights like this it's free. After enquiring, turns out I had bought the wrong flight to San Jose, California, instead of San Jose, Costa Rica. It's SJC vs SJO too, easy to confuse... Glad I figured that out before getting there!

- klipt 6y agoSan Jose, California has a nice technology museum, and a short commute to many silicon valley companies, but not much else going for it!
- yumraj 6y agoYou do realize that San Jose is the biggest city in the Silicon Valley and there are tons of well known companies in San Jose.. :)
- tguvot 6y agoIt goes both ways. Once I was booking trip to San Jose. Flight was surprisingly expensive (but who cares, season variations and such. anyway it's work trip) but what gave me a pause, it's that cars were dirt cheep compared to usual. After poking around, turned out that I was booking trip to San Jose, Costa Rica instead of San Jose, California.
