How delays work at SJU

A ground stop holds flights bound for SJU at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • Check whether your airline checks in at Terminal A or Terminal B. Terminal A is mostly JetBlue, while most other major carriers use Terminal B.
  • The bus stops are on the Departures level, not at the arrivals curb, so take the stairs or elevator up after baggage claim.
  • If you are flying to the mainland, leave time for the USDA agricultural bag inspection.
  • Construction on the garage and Terminal A may change drop-off and parking routes. Watch for updates on the airport site.
