I’m looking at flights to fly back to Puerto Rico, and it looks like JetBlue is about to make the flight from San Diego, California to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico a whole lot easier. Currently, this is my only choice in flight patterns:

12:30 PM - Depart - San Diego, CA (SAN)
8:59 PM - Arrive - New York, NY (JFK)
11:50 PM - Depart - New York, NY (JFK)
3:39 AM - Arrive - Aguadilla, PR (BQN)(next day)

Total travel time, including layover in NY: 12 hours, 9 minutes.

It appears that starting October 31st, JetBlue is offering a red eye to Puerto Rico:

9:10 PM - Depart - San Diego, CA (SAN)
5:20 AM - Arrive - New York, NY (JFK)
6:00 AM - Depart - New York, NY (JFK)
9:38 AM - Arrive - Aguadilla, PR (BQN)(next day)

Total travel time, including layover in NY: 9 hours, 28 minutes.

This new schedule is way better, as it not only shaves 3 hours off the travel time, but your flight also arrives in Puerto Rico at a decent hour: 9:30am. Flying into Puerto Rico at 3:30am, sucks. 3:30am is just a little too late to stay up to pick someone up at the airport and a little too early to be ready to wake up for the day. Plus, arriving a 3:30am screws up your internal clock just enough to ruin your entire 1st day in Puerto Rico. Whenever I arrive on the 3:30am plane, I always go to bed right as the sun comes up and would prefer to sleep all day. It’s annoying. Which is why I’m happy to hear about the new flight pattern that JetBlue will be offering. Of course, the new flight pattern is offered 2 days too late for me…oh well, at least we won’t have to pick up visitors at the airport at 3:30am any more :)
