Not that I've heard of (not that the FAA keeps me very well informed on such matters) . Your closest "Entry ports" in the USA will be ATL, CLT, MIA or FLL. Excluding, of course, SJU where I'm sure you can get to from Dallas on American.

None that I know of from Dallas. Definitely not on AA, which we fly. We go through MIA or SJU. Sure wish there was a direct flight!!

Houston native and trips to STJ the last two summers....There are none. From Houston you have these options:

1. AA - one stop in Miami is the best you can do.
2. Delta - one stop in Atlanta is the best you can do.
3. Continental - usually not $ competitive on this run, but one stop in San Juan, PR is the best you can do.
4. I think you can get a United flight through Charlotte, too.

I've done both AA thru MIA and Delta thru ATL and prefer the AA route and times. Delta gets a small nod because you can fly out of Hobby airport instead of Bush.

stjchica- we've done both of those routes. Only downside to SJU (imho) is the little plane you have to fly between SJU and STT- I'm not a fan. So we usually go down through MIA. Puts us in STT at 3:30 and we can usually catch the 5 pm ferry. On the return, going through SJU (and stomaching the little plane), gets us better departure times, so we often do that. I'm usually still so much in a walk of woe funk that the little plane doesn't bother me as much on the return :wink:
