The new departures coincide with the island’s peak travel season and augment Frontier’s flights to Puerto Rico from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, Miami International Airport, Orlando International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

“Amplifying access from key mainland markets to Puerto Rico further adds to the seamlessness of traveling to the convenient domestic destination,” said Brad Dean, Discover Puerto Rico’s CEO, “and we are thrilled to welcome our neighbors in Jacksonville through this new nonstop route. The increased flight capacity from our partners at Frontier Airlines is a vote of confidence in the Island’s continued success.”

Dean said Puerto Rico posted record-breaking visitor arrivals in 2021, and as of October has generated five consecutive months of record arrivals. Puerto Rico additionally leads all U.S. states and territories in COVID-19 vaccination rates with roughly 89 percent of the eligible population having received at least one dose and 81 percent fully vaccinated.

“We’re excited to launch a new nonstop flight between Jacksonville and San Juan,” said Alfredo Gonzalez, international and domestic sales manager at Frontier Airlines. “This new service offers Jacksonville area residents an affordable and convenient way to explore Puerto Rico and make unforgettable vacation memories this winter and beyond.”
