Flights in Puerto Rico: What's Happening and What You Need to Know

Puerto Rico's airspace is currently off-limits for U. S. airlines. Why? Military exercises in Venezuela are causing this temporary shutdown. This means flights to and from San Juan are grounded. Not ideal, right? If you're a traveler, here's what you should do: head to the airport as planned. But don't just wait around. Go straight to your airline's counter. They're the ones with the latest info on your flight. They can also help figure out what to do next. Now, if you're on a ship, there are some rules to follow. U. S. Customs needs to clear the ship first. After that, everyone must disembark by 10:30 a. m. , just like originally scheduled. No changes there.What if you're supposed to board a ship for the next voyage? If flight issues stop you from joining, don't worry. You'll get a full credit for a future trip with Virgin Voyages.
