Everything you need to know for your flight from New York to San Juan
Which departure days are usually cheaper?
If you have flexibility with your travel dates, Tuesday and Wednesday departures are consistently your best bet for finding the lowest airfares. Across global flight routes, flying midweek can easily save you 10% to 20% compared to weekend departures, mainly because you avoid both Monday business trips and Friday weekend getaways. On the flip side, Fridays and Sundays tend to be the most expensive days of the week as leisure travelers head out and return. Another insider tip: opting for early morning flights (before 7:00 AM) or overnight red-eyes often unlocks additional savings while helping you breeze through airport security lines.

Which airport is more convenient for my destination: Luis Munoz Marin International Airport or other airports in San Juan?
Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (SJU) may be convenient depending on your destination address and flight options. If other airports serve the area, compare the total journey time and cost, available flights and arrival times.

Do children need identification or their own travel authorization?
Children’s travel documents depend on their age, nationality and itinerary. Check the operating airline’s proof-of-age and unaccompanied-minor requirements.
