Common questions
How long is the flight from New York to San Juan?
A nonstop flight takes approximately 3h 55m. Itineraries with a connection take longer, and the total depends on the connection time.

This page covers John F. Kennedy International (JFK) in New York and Luis Muñoz Marín International (SJU) in San Juan. Other airports may serve either city — check which one your itinerary actually uses before arranging ground transport.
When is the best time to fly to San Juan?
December to April generally offers the best balance of weather and crowds. Airline schedules on this route can also thin outside the peak season.
Why is there no price on this page?
Because we do not hold a fare of our own to quote. Airfares change daily with availability, and a figure printed on a landing page would be out of date almost immediately. Run a search or send us the trip and you will get a current price with the fare, taxes and our service fee itemised.
