As a legacy carrier, American maintains frequent service on this path with reliable scheduling and decent in-flight amenities for the roughly 4-hour flight.
Travel Tips
Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, so no passport is needed for U.S. citizens—just bring a valid ID. Late May through early July can be humid and sees occasional rain, so pack light, breathable clothing and plan indoor activities like museums or local restaurants for afternoon downpours.
