“I am extremely pleased that Sun Country Airlines is inaugurating nonstop service to San Juan, Puerto Rico in May from Southwest Florida International Airport,” says Robert Ball, executive director of the Lee County Port Authority, in a statement. “One of the Lee County Port Authority's key air service initiatives has been to attract air service to Puerto Rico and these new flights will conveniently link our region to one of the most popular, vibrant travel destinations in the Caribbean.”
The new route will operate on Sundays from May 3 through August 23, with additional service on Thursdays from June 11 through August 20. Introductory fares will cost $129 one way.
