About this route
Fort Lauderdale to San Juan connects South Florida with Puerto Rico, a domestic route that requires no passport. JetBlue and Spirit dominate with frequent service and competitive fares. The route is popular with families visiting relatives and vacationers headed to the island's beaches.
The timezone situation is slightly unusual — Puerto Rico uses Atlantic Standard Time year-round and doesn't observe daylight saving time. In winter, SJU is 1 hour ahead; in summer, they're the same. Since it's a domestic flight, there's no customs on arrival.
