Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Hit security before 7am or after 10am

Average waits 15-25 min; peaks 5-9am and mid-afternoon push 25-35+ min—PreCheck saves 15 min.

Arrive 2 hours domestic / 3 international; check MyTSA app as staffing fluctuates.

Terminal

Clear security then roam freely airside

All concourses A-B-C-D connect post-security via walkways—no re-clear needed for most connections.

JetBlue mostly A; others B/C/D. Furthest gates ~0.6 miles/15 min walk.

Food

Skip chains for Metropol in Terminal C

Sit-down Puerto Rican/Cuban plates (mofongo, rice dishes) beat Domino’s/Popeyes for real local flavor.

Between B/C airside; also Landshark, Gustos coffee, Starbucks C, El Meson sandwiches.

Status

Expect solid ops with Caribbean weather risk

On-time around 70-75%; afternoon thunderstorms and US mainland connections cause most delays.

Monitor Aerostar/flight apps; international arrivals clear CBP in B.

Live conditions

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

US mainland-Caribbean connections

Amex Platinum holders (Escape Lounge)

Watch out for

Peak morning/afternoon security lines without PreCheck

Expensive bottled water and chain food markups
Afternoon thunderstorms delaying flights
