Aeropuerto Internacional Luis Muñoz Marín (IATA: SJU, ICAO: TJSJ) is a network point for San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our catalogue shows 0 departing routes and 2 arriving, with the airlines, frequencies and lowest peso (MXN) fares listed below.

Airport facts

SJU carries 2 routes and 2 airlines in our catalogue, totalling 12 weekly departures. Aeropuerto Internacional Luis Muñoz Marín (ICAO TJSJ) serves San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the America/Puerto_Rico zone (UTC−4 in July). Its coordinates (18.439399, -66.002133) are the basis of every distance on this site.

  • IATA: SJU
  • ICAO: TJSJ
  • City: San Juan
  • Country: Puerto Rico
  • Time zone: America/Puerto_Rico
  • Coordinates: 18.439399, -66.002133
  • Airlines at the airport: 2

Time difference against Mexico City. In July, San Juan runs 2 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC−4 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC−4, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

Coordinates, and why we publish them. 18.439399, -66.002133 is the position from which every great-circle distance on this site is computed, including the ones that set the EU261 compensation band. It is not the distance the aircraft flies — that follows airways and diversions — but the geodesic measure the regulations use. Publishing it lets anyone recompute the figures on these pages.

Airlines at SJU

2 catalogued airlines operate routes to or from SJU: 2 full-service and 0 low-cost, with checked allowance from 23 to 25 kg. Alliances present: SkyTeam. They cover 2 catalogued routes and 12 weekly departures. The table below lists each operator with its type, alliance and checked allowance.

Carriers in our catalogue operating routes to or from this airport, with type, alliance and economy baggage allowance:

AirlineTypeAllianceEconomy baggage
Aeromexico (AM)full-serviceSkyTeam25 kg
JetBlue (B6)full-serviceno alliance23 kg

2 kg separate the most generous operator from the leanest at SJU. That gap is what reorders prices once the bag is in: a cheaper base fare on a carrier with no included baggage can land above a full-service one the moment you check a single piece. Compare the total, not the headline figure.

Alliances present at SJU: SkyTeam. It matters for two concrete things: where miles credit, and what happens when something breaks. Within one alliance, rebooking onto another member is usually provided for; between carriers with no agreement it does not exist and depends on goodwill at the desk. If you buy two legs on operators from different alliances, treat them as two separate trips.

Routes to San Juan (SJU)

Our catalogue lists 2 routes into SJU, totalling 12 weekly departures and spanning 2,202 to 3,475 km. The busiest is CUN-SJU at ~7 flights a week; 1 of them carry a cached fare, spread across 1 audience profiles. Every row in this section comes from that same corridor catalogue, not from a live search.

OriginAirlinesFreq/wkFare fromGuide
Cancún (CUN)AM, B6~7/wk$7,195 MXNCUN-SJU
Ciudad de México (MEX)AM~5/wkMEX-SJU

What traffic SJU moves. By audience profile, the routes catalogued here split as: Caribbean leisure corridor (2). That mix explains the airport’s seasonality: family corridors spike in December and Holy Week, leisure ones follow the holiday calendar, and regional ones stay flatter across the year.

Why some rows have no fare. Of the 2 routes listed, 1 returned a price on the collector’s last pass and the rest show a dash. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Connection tips

SJU concentrates 12 catalogued weekly departures across 2 airlines, in the America/Puerto_Rico zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional Luis Muñoz Marín runs on the America/Puerto_Rico time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at SJU is CUN-SJU (~7 flights a week). The lowest fare detected at this airport is $7,195 MXN on the CUN-SJU route. Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from San Juan; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
