About

Arriving at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport

Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan is the gateway to Puerto Rico and a major embarkation point for Caribbean cruises. Because Puerto Rico is a US territory, flights from the mainland are treated as domestic—there is no customs or immigration process. This is a huge advantage over other Caribbean destinations where clearing customs can add an hour or more. Passengers step off the plane and head straight to baggage claim, just like landing in any US city.

JetBlue, Southwest, United, American, Delta, Spirit, and Frontier all operate heavy schedules to SJU from cities across the eastern US, with JetBlue and Spirit offering particularly extensive service. The airport has four terminals (A through D), with Terminal B handling most mainland US flights. The terminals are connected and walkable. SJU also serves as a connecting hub for flights to the US and British Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, and other smaller Caribbean islands via Cape Air and other regional carriers.

The airport sits in the Isla Verde neighborhood of Carolina, roughly 10 minutes from the Condado hotel district and 15 minutes from Old San Juan. The cell phone lot is on Route 26 near the airport entrance. Many travelers arriving at SJU are headed to cruise ship terminals in Old San Juan or to resort areas in Condado, Isla Verde, or the eastern coast town of Fajardo. Landing alerts are especially useful for coordinating cruise embarkation timing.

Pickup tip

Puerto Rico is a US territory—there is no customs or immigration for flights from the US mainland. Passengers exit as quickly as a domestic flight. Terminal B handles most mainland US carriers. The airport is about 10 minutes from Condado and Old San Juan.
