Last Updated

Puerto Rico is one of the hottest destinations in the Caribbean right now for American travelers.

This island, which is a territory of the United States located in the Caribbean, welcomed 5.1 million visitors in 2022, a new record surpassing even pre-2020 travel numbers.

Puerto Rico is trending with travelers due to its gorgeous beaches, beautiful historic capital San Juan, and proximity to the continental United States.

Starting this summer, it will be even easier and more affordable for travelers to get from the United States to Puerto Rico with the launch of nearly a dozen new flight routes.

New Flight Routes To Puerto Rico Launching This Summer

Two budget airlines, Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines, have both announced that they are launching new routes to Puerto Rico beginning this summer.

How Much Do Flights Cost?

Both Spirit Airlines and Frontier Airlines are budget carriers known for their ultra-low base fares (that can get pricier if you add on extras like checked or carry-on luggage or choosing your seat assignment.)

But if you travel light and don't mind sitting in a cramped middle seat for a few hours, flying Spirit or Frontier can be a budget-friendly way to get to Puerto Rico.

  • Dallas to San Juan: Starting at $59 one-way
  • Detroit to San Juan: starting at $79 one-way
