Yep, I think it is - at least in the 3 1/2 hour to 4 hour range :(

We flew this leg last year on Delta, and I believe we made it in about 3 hours 40 mins.

3.5 going to STT, at least 4 coming back. Coming back felt like 6 hours to me!

Look at it this way: at least you're heading in the direction of STJ !!!

I live in Atlanta. Could you pick me up on your way??? Just 3 1/2 hours to island. If you jump in your seat it goes faster, well, at least my kids think so. Usually you fly just North of Puerto Rico and if you are on the right side of the plane you can get some nice aerial pics. Have fun for all of us!

It's forever. We
ve done it 2 times now. Once originating in EWR and the last time from RDU. The flight takes forever and a half. And, whoever is selecting the movies for Delta and I need to talk. And by talk, I mean, fight.

I'm making our return reservation today...in 1st class. It's the same # of miles as coach for the flight, so why the heck not?

We booked the same flight for April and I wondered the same thing. Atlanta is actually much farther west than we think up here in the Northeast - almost in the central time zone..

I learned something today. I wouldn't have guessed the ATL to STT was so long. Heck, it takes 4 hours from Philly.

Trust, it is better than a layover in San Juan, just sayin'. We are a lot further West than many realize.
