Aeropuerto Luis Muñoz Marín
The island's main airport, in Carolina next to San Juan, and the gateway for nearly all international and mainland flights. There are smaller airports in Aguadilla and Ponce with limited service, plus small strips on Vieques, Culebra and at Ceiba for light aircraft. From the airport to the coastal hotels it is 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.
Example
On departure, budget extra time for the agricultural check, which comes before the usual security screening.
