Obviously it's way too early to buy right now but what is the expected range? I've never been to Latin America. I remember there were some ridiculous seat sales not too long ago but if I recall they were for February/March.
Alternatively, are there any "creative" ways to get there? I was thinking of maybe using points to get to Dallas or something along those lines but not sure if there's a way to make that work economically.

I have never been there direct, only through Houston and Dallas. $800 does seem like an ok price (I have been twice $625 is the lowest I have gone for) as CR is one of those places airlines tend to limit seat count as its not a high volume destination - mostly eco tourism.
You can get there via IAH, DFW, DEN, SFO, LAX, ORD etc on major airlines 1 stop from YYC. The other thing to maybe try would be traversing through Mexico. Although not sure what the visa requirements would be transiting through Mexico.
