UK & Continental Europe
Though London is the travel-discount capital of Europe, there are several other cities where
you will find a range of good deals. Generally, there is not much variation in airfare prices
from European cities.
USA & Canada
The most popular routes to Puerto Rico from the US are via New York and Miami, but dir-
ect flights from about a dozen other cities in the continental US also serve the island. Some
carriers now offer continued service through San Juan to Ponce and Aguadilla, or they fly
directly into Aguadilla's airport. Almost all major carriers fly to Puerto Rico; jetBlue is
currently the most popular and economical option. Canadian discount air-ticket sellers are
also known as consolidators, and their airfares tend to be about 10% higher than those sold
in the USA.
Sea
Cruise Ship
San Juan is the second-largest port for cruise ships in the western hemisphere (after Miami).
More than 24 vessels call San Juan their home port or departure port. More than one million
cruise ship passengers pass through San Juan per year. Their ships dock at the piers along
Calle La Marina near the Customs House and the Sheraton Old San Juan Hotel & Casino,
just a short walk from Old San Juan.
Per diem prices vary according to the standard of the ship, but you will be lucky to pay
less than $1700 for a seven-day cruise out of San Juan. However, this price will probably
include your airfare and transfers to the ship, as well as all your meals and entertainment.
