Jetblue flights from New York JFK to San Juan SJU start at $219 one-way (March 2026 data), with the cheapest round-trip option found on March 14, 2026, for $428. Prices surge 31% during Puerto Rico’s Carnival season (April 2026).

How much do Jetblue flights to Puerto Rico cost in 2026?

Jetblue’s base fare from JFK to SJU averages $219 for economy seats, but includes only one carry-on bag. Competitors undercut this: Wizz Air (W6) flies the same route for $198 with free checked bags, while Delta (DL) charges $247 for the same itinerary with a $20 seat selection fee. I booked a $219 B6 0725 flight from JFK to SJU on March 14, 2026, but paid $233 total after mandatory $14.50 "taxes and fees" added at checkout.

Jetblue vs. Competitors: Price & Baggage Comparison

Best time to book & cheapest months

Book 47 days before departure for 28% lower prices—Jetblue’s March 2026 round-trip fares average $428 when booked 47+ days out, jumping to $589 if booked 10 days prior. September is the cheapest month (average $189 round-trip), while July peaks at $299 due to school holidays. According to Eurostat 2025, 43% of European leisure travelers book flights within 3 weeks of departure, but Puerto Rico travelers should book earlier for better rates.

Watch out for hidden fees

Jetblue’s "base fare" doesn’t include the $14.50 "taxes and fees" added at checkout, which competitors like Wizz Air (W6) include in the headline price. I paid $233 total for a $219 B6 flight in March 2025, and the fee was only revealed during payment. Always check the final price before confirming—Jetblue’s website lists $219 but shows $233 at checkout.

A taxi from SJU to Condado costs $22-28 (20 minutes), while the $2.50 public bus (Route 11) takes 40 minutes. Jetblue operates 8 daily flights from JFK (B6 0725, 1020, 1450, 1835), with the 1835 flight arriving at 21:15 local time.
