JetBlue is poised to shake up travel between the US and Puerto Rico with its newest nonstop flights from Philadelphia International Airport. Beginning March 26, daily direct service will connect the Caribbean island's capital, San Juan, to Philly, making it easier for Americans to experience the rich culture and breathtaking beauty of Puerto Rico.
But that's not all - this spring, JetBlue is adding routes from San Juan to four more US cities: Buffalo, Richmond, Norfolk, and Jacksonville. This expansion will catapult Puerto Rico to the top of the nonstop destination list, with a whopping 22 options available, surpassing any other airline.
Puerto Rico Governor Jenniffer González-Colón welcomed the news, saying it would open doors for travelers from the US to discover the island's charm while providing more opportunities for locals to visit and contribute to the economy. The governor expressed her optimism that these new routes will drive development and elevate Puerto Rico on the world stage.
However, Philly travelers won't be able to snag a deal just yet. JetBlue is offering limited discounted tickets at a special introductory price of $99, but with some caveats. Bookings must be made by Friday for one-way flights departing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Saturdays between April 7 and May 20. It's worth noting that this fare is only available on select dates, so don't expect to score the cheapest ticket anytime soon.
Frontier and Spirit also operate nonstop flights from Philly to San Juan, while American Airlines joins JetBlue in providing direct service. With JetBlue now leading the charge, Puerto Rico is poised for a boost in tourism and economic growth - but with prices that are still relatively reasonable, it might be worth considering a trip this spring.

omg can u even imagine how lit it's gonna be to fly directly from Philly to San Juan?! 
the thought of experiencing all that Puerto Rico has to offer without having to deal with layovers is so exciting! 
i'm def thinking of booking a ticket ASAP, especially since they're offering discounted tickets for just $99. 
although it's not like we can expect super cheap flights anytime soon, a buck is a buck, right? 
let's get this Puerto Rico party started and support our island friends by giving them the tourism boost they deserve! 
. Still, it's great to see Puerto Rico getting more attention and investment - my kids would love exploring all the beautiful beaches and cultural attractions! 
️ they're adding more routes to 4 other cities too which means we'll have so many options to choose from... 22 nonstops in total?! that's crazy! governor jenniffer gonzález-colón is super stoked about this and i can see why, it's gonna bring in a ton of tourism and economic growth for puerto rico 
but like, anyone planning on going already?
. And come on, $99 is already pretty decent 
. And it's great that the governor's optimistic about the economy boosting 
. Let's just say Puerto Rico can use a little pick-me-up 
. We should be supporting more routes, not trash-talking them 
.
22 options is insane and $99 is like a steal! 
. can't wait to experience the culture and beauty of puerto rico!
