Flight from New York John F Kennedy Airport to San Juan Airport

FAQs - booking Puerto Rico flights

  • Since Puerto Rico is technically a part of the United States will I need a visa or a passport to travel there from New York?

    Because Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, you will not need a passport nor a visa to travel here. Just as with any other location in the United States, you will need some sort of official identification to travel, such as a passport or a driver's license.

  • If I'm flying to the airport in San Juan, are there any public transportation choices to get me from the airport to the center of the city?

    While there are no public transportation options that can make the trip from the airport to the city center, there are two different shuttle companies that offer services. The cheapest of the two makes the trip in about 13min for a cost of around $22.

  • If my final destination in Puerto Rico is the amazing beaches of Culebra Island, what is the best way for me to travel there from New York?

    Start your trip by booking a one-stop flight from one of the New York airports to the airport in Culebra (CPX), most of which will have a short layover at San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International. Once at the airport in Culebra, you can catch a water taxi that will make the trip to the island in about 25min for a cost of around $55.

  • If somebody is going to drop me off at John F. Kennedy International Airport before my flight to Puerto Rico, where's the best place for them to drop me?

    The airport offers a Kiss and Fly lot. This lot is located right at the JFK AirTrain station so once you have said your goodbyes, you can hop aboard the train and make the short trip to the terminal buildings.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from New York to Puerto Rico?

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from New York to Puerto Rico?

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Puerto Rico

  • Morning departure is around 20% cheaper than an evening flight, on average*.
  • While there are several international airports in Puerto Rico, the only ones that offer direct service from all three of the New York area airports are San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International (SJU) and Aguadilla Borinquen (BQN).
  • A good public transportation choice to get from Manhattan to New York La Guardia Airport (LGA) is to take the subway from the W. 4th St. Station to the Jackson Heights Station and then take the Q70 bus to the airport. The trip will take about 36min for a cost of around $2.
  • If you are driving yourself to Newark International Airport (EWR) before your flight to Puerto Rico, there are daily parking lots located on-site at the airport. A much more cost-friendly choice is to park at one of the off-site economy lots that offer free shuttle service to and from the terminal buildings.
  • If you are looking for a lounge to relax before your flight to Puerto Rico, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) offers several lounge choices from airlines as well as pay-per-use lounges, such as The Wingtips Lounge and The Centurion Lounge.
  • If you have a disability and are flying from Newark International Airport, make sure that you use their Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Lanyard Program. When you wear this discrete lanyard, it lets airport staff know you may need a little extra help during your travels.

7 hour delay for mechanical reasons Handled badly by crew and delta personnel

7 hour delay for mechanical reasons Handled badly by crew and delta personnel

It was reported to the passengers that Delta failed to schedule the crew properly. This error caused the pilot to show up about 30 minutes late. All in all Delta's inability to take care of this basic function resulted in about an hour delay.

Food was not the best. Too many items had sauce pm them with a lot of spices The seat was not comfortable especially when you lay down

Loyal Delta traveler, but last nights flight was a train wreck. Seated in 1B after multiple delays. Then we couldn’t takeoff because of an issue with the passenger that was ‘not in compliance’ and had to deplane along with the threat if they did not deplane, all the passengers would be required to do so. Finally they were escorted off, but the experience threw off the crew. Disruptive for everyone. Service was a mess, televisions didn’t work, bathroom door kept swinging open during the entire flight whenever empty …

Older plane and it came with Fleas and flea bites!

Flight was canceled so it was not a great experience. Boarded, then deboarded. Delayed, boarded a new plane then deboarded the 2nd plane and flight was canceled. Then booked a fight to Rome and took a train to Venice the next day. Lost an entire day +

All good on Delta's part. Passengers could be a little more courteous to each other.

The fight was about 2 1/2 hours delayed, but that was weather related. The flight was also overbooked. But we were in Comfort plus so the flight was fine for us.

Awful. Flight was continuously getting delayed and gates kept changing without any reason. Flight was delayed for more then 3 hours

The plane was FREEZING SEATS UNCOMFORTABLE Otherwise smooth Thank you

Communication with the customer and stay is important. Staff off with a minor inconvenience but it worked out of course. Also this was a very old Mint Class plane. They snuck this one in on us. The updated aircraft are much better.

The flight itself was fine, but the boarding process was extremely frustrating. There is no one scanning boarding passes - passengers just scan themselves and enter the jetway. By the time my husband and I got on the plane and were halfway to our seats they determined there were too many bags on the plane and everything at that point needed to be checked. This created a lot of unnecessary chaos. They should have alerted people before getting on the plane that they would need to start checking bags instead of waiting until people were already on the plane.

In flight on demand didn't work at our seats. Only a single beverage/snack run.

Traveling with JetBlue from NYC was convenient as accessing JFK airport was straightforward via the LIRR to the AirTrain. Maneuvering through the terminal was hassle-free, which was a pleasant start to the journey. However, the flight experience itself left much to be desired. The seating arrangement was notably uncomfortable; despite securing a window seat, space felt cramped. This was exacerbated by the middle seat passenger encroaching on my area, which made the flight less enjoyable. Additionally, while the in-flight entertainment system initially seemed like a reprieve, the sound outlet on my seat was inoperable. This issue turned what could have been a manageable three-hour flight into a rather tedious ordeal, as I was unable to use the entertainment system effectively. While JetBlue provided a smooth process in terms of airport logistics, the on-board experience highlighted areas in need of improvement, particularly in terms of comfort and entertainment system maintenance.

Over 2 hour delay for a 50-minute flight is unacceptable, especially in normal weather. Very poor communication via app

Kayak sent over to jet blue my account being Mike Callaghan instead of Michael. I have a jet blue account with Michael that was connected

The flight was excellent. The crew was welcoming and attentive.

Going through JFK’s security is a mess. The TSA security said no shoes on the bins. So, we place our shoes in the belt and they came out all over the belt. Boarding was delayed and Flight as well.

There were multiple delays but JetBlue tried to make the boarding and departure process as quick and efficient as possible. The crew was as detached from reality as could be, meaning: not very friendly and just doing things by the numbers.

Jetblue needs to improve on Onboarding as it seems to always be behind on departing. It never leaves on time. I would recommend to have an earlier Onboarding in order to leave on time and respect your customers time as well.

More water distribution throughout flight. Food quality poor and hot items delivered not hot on both attempts. Not United Standards

Everything was very good. Was able to change a make run flight leaving on direct earlier in the app -seamless!!! Well done

Haven’t used United in a while. Was surprised with the free blanket and earphones. Service was great. Huge plane. 9/.row.

The flight was very good. Only complaint was that the usb charging connection did not work for either me or the seat next to me so we both had to use our own portable battery to charge our phones. I also liked the fact that I could purchase Wi-Fi for an hour instead of for the entire flight.

Your seats in the last 5 rows are terrible. My knees were jammed into the seat in front of me and the lady sitting there decided to recline it. Jammed my knees bad. I don’t know if I’ll fly United again.

Air conditioning in the plane wasn’t working at boarding, this resulted in a delayed departure whilst they addressed the situation. The cabin was uncomfortably hot.

Onboarding process was great and efficient. Plane was very new and entertainment choices were great. The only complain is no meal despite it was a flight that is longer than 6 hours.

Crew went above and beyond. I was able to upgrade to United Polaris within 24 hours of my flight departure for 30,000 points. Was totally worth it.

Pot and crew did a tremendous job landing in Savannah in the middle of the tropical storm. !!

It’s a service to take you from one point to another. No frills. You want it, you take it. It’s upon you to bring food, reading material, games to play, movies to watch, etc. The wifi onboard never works - so you cannot even listen to any podcasts, music, or get updated news feeds. The toilet is a mess, and a four flight does not need any hygienic interventions when people either splatter their pee all over the seats or on the floor. It’s a monopolized service and so smile and bear it.

Flight delayed. Seat assignment doesn’t get assign until last minute. Seats don’t recline and very stiff

Better overall experience from my first flight with Spirit several years ago. Efficient boarding (albeit I arrived after all rows were called) and flight actually left earlier than planned. I am still baffled by being charged for everything, even a non-alcoholic beverage. And there is definitely less seat room which makes a flight that’s more than 2 hours really uncomfortable.

This was the best spirit airlines fight I have ever had. I take spirit up to 3 or more times a year and I am ready to be the Jared of spirit. 🤪 Best flight ever. Everyone was great. I hope my return flight is the same. When you're traveling with a 9 month old you need a different type of care and accommodation. I didn't ask the staff for anything but I didn't have any added stress.

Would have been better if I would’ve made it on my flight but it was delayed twice and then canceled and now I’m stuck till Monday which was and extra 5 days I did not count on .

Both flights were delayed. Flight from LGA to DTW caused serious anxiety as 3 people were removed from the aircraft before take off for disorderly conduct. Extremely uncomfortable to be in that situation. Staff handled themselves okay- definitely could’ve been more professional and deescalated the situation first. No apology for the delays at all. No water, no snack, no nothing. Not a good flight experience.

Cancelled the return flight moments before boarding, horrible customer service in assisting with any rebooking. Never again will I fly Spirit.

The flight was minimally delayed and after landing we needed to wait an hour, hungry, thirsty, and with other customers improper behavior. Flight was good and quick, boarding was delayed but quick. Thanks

Overall, poor. Boarding was extremely slow, which caused flight delays.

This recognisable no-frills airline gets me from point-A to point-B. I was able to get to Chicago without stress. The checked baggage collection and reclaim could be improved.

Pretty good. Would’ve been excellent if we would have left on time and the crew wasn’t late.

Both flights were delayed. The sizing of bags is crazy. I know it is advertised as a no frills cheaper option but it does feel like you are being extorted for money the whole way-- $20 dollars to talk to a gate agent? Charging for soda a pretzels? I don't think I will be flying Frontier again if I can help it. That said, all the staff were wonderful.

Staff members pretty horrible when boarding. No care for customers

The trip was good but the last minute changes I didn’t like because I had already talked to the attendee and they didn’t help me with my ticket I was having trouble checking in and when the time was up they help me but charge me for that and last minute luggage it was a small bag. After I was in the airplane I realized you were charging because the flight was almost empty and you have to get the money some how. Thanks for everything.

I was shocked that there is no Wi-Fi, my flight was changed and delayed multiple times. In fact, I’m still not home…

I did not like that people are purposely split ip who book at the same time because we didn’t buy seats. No other airline does that.

Frontier is definitely a good option for people traveling light or on a budget - just remember to bring your own entertainment and your own headphones if you need them.

The seats were dirty with crumbs and trash , looked it had not been cleaned up from a previous flight

Nothing about the flight was good. The crew was rude and unwilling to assist would never recommend this airline to anyone and for sure will not fly it again

The plane was very clean, the flight attendants were chipper and accommodating. It was roomy

There was extremely long wait times to check in my bags and pass through TSA. I almost missed my flights on several occasions.
