Tickets
Airfares to Caribbean destinations such as Puerto Rico vary tremendously depending on
the season you travel, the day of the week you fly, the length of your stay and the flexibility
the ticket allows for flight changes and refunds. Still, nothing determines fares more than
demand, and when things are slow, regardless of the season, airlines will lower their fares
to fill empty seats.
During the holidays, travelers to Puerto Rico will probably find it difficult to get the
flights and fares they want unless they plan - and purchase tickets - well in advance.
Holiday times include Christmas, New Year's Eve, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day and
Thanksgiving.
