The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC.

Taxis and ride-shares are generally the fastest and most reliable options for reaching the city center, with the airport connected to San Juan via the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge and Baldorioty de Castro Expressway (PR-26). Car rentals are widely available at the airport for exploring the island, but traffic and parking in Old San Juan can be challenging. The Tren Urbano offers an economical mass transit option once you reach a station, but it is less convenient for airport arrivals due to the transfer required.
