Flights to San Juan

International flights to San Juan land at the San Juan Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, about seven miles from the city. There are several smaller airports located around town, including the San Juan Isla Grande, Ponce Mercedita, and Aguadilla Borinquen Airports, and they focus more on local island-hopping flights, which can be a quick and easy way to get around the Caribbean region. In the past, the San Juan International Airport has served as a hub for several airlines, but while served by many lines currently, San Juan flights are no longer considered "hub routes."

And it's not much worse in the summer, averaging 85 degrees, although the humidity levels may rise a bit. Packing is easy, pack for warm weather, but be prepared for any type of activity you want to do, from nightclubbing to water-skiing! If you decide to visit in November, though, remember to pack a raincoat and maybe an umbrella, as it's the wettest month in San Juan!

Getting Around San Juan

Traffic is busy in San Juan, and you will probably want to be prepared to walk or take public transportation rather than navigate the streets on your own. If you are planning on staying in the vicinity of the city of San Juan, public transportation may well be enough to get you where you need to be. Buses are inexpensive to ride, but the schedules can be erratic, but a free trolley bus routes run through Old San Juan, and can be a fun way to get around the historic district. If you need to get to Old San Juan or Catano, you can take the Catano Ferry across San Juan Bay. Be wary of taxi fares, as drivers can sometimes change the fixed rates they charge to tourist attractions!
