Spirit Airlines has launched up to four weekly nonstop flights between San Antonio and San Juan, Puerto Rico, the first-ever direct service from San Antonio to the Caribbean.
On Thursday (March 6, 2025), Spirit Airlines announced the launch of new nonstop service between San Antonio International Airport (SAT) in Texas and Luis Muñoz International Airport (SJU) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The route will operate up to four times weekly, marking the first time SAT customers have direct service to the Caribbean.

Also commenting on the new San Juan service, the City of San Antonio’s Director of Airports, Jesus Saenz, Jr., said,
“We couldn't thank Spirit Airlines enough for their continued investment here in San Antonio. The ties between our region and Puerto Rico continue to grow and flourish.
