Check what document your journey requires

Yes. Use the selector above the calculator to place SJO in the departure or arrival field. You can edit the other airport before continuing.

They describe different travel directions. An onward journey continues to another destination; a return journey goes back to an earlier departure point. The document you need depends on your situation.
Can I board a flight with an ExitPass reservation?
A temporary reservation is not an issued e-ticket and does not entitle you to board a flight.
