Asked by jennings foultz - Sun, 20 March

We could not confirm if any airport restaurants or shops will be open that early, or are open 24 hours. Our suggestion would be the San Juan Airport Hotel, locate between Terminals C & D. You could either rent a room for a nap, or see if they are serving breakfast. One comment from the hotel says they serve breakfast beginning at 5am, but that may have changed due to COVID. Good luck!
