Adding a second daily flight between San Juan and Saint Martin
Travel with Sears and Popcorn Tours have created air and land packages especially designed for the Puerto Rico market and will offer these packages through the Travel with Sears retail network, as well as to all travel agents in Puerto Rico through Popcorn Tours, a leading travel wholesaler in the island.
Besides the convenience of one stop vacation shopping, these air and land inclusive packages offer Puerto Rican consumers more significant savings than when air and hotel services are purchased separately.
Saint Martin has also forged strong working relationship with jetBlue, the principal airline providing airlift between San Juan and Saint Martin. The tourism organizations of Saint Martin are working closely with jetBlue and its Regional Marketing – Latin America & Caribbean Manager, Janid Ortíz, to explore the possibility of adding a second daily flight between San Juan and Saint Martin and the possibility of creating air and hotel packages through their Getaways program.
Janid Ortíz was also present at the event and provided a background on the very successful jetBlue San Juan – Saint Martin – San Juan daily flights served with modern Embraer E190 jet aircraft.
Saint Martin is easily accessible from Puerto Rico via daily, non-stop flights by jetBlue on modern, spacious and comfortable Embraer E190 jet airplanes that can carry 100 passengers.
Seaborne Airlines has also commenced daily non-stop flights to Saint Martin from San Juan’s Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, which further adds to the accessibility and convenience for Puerto Rican travelers.
