Do you clear customs and immigration in San Juan or Atlanta when flying home from Tortola?

We are disembarking from a cruise ship at 7:30am. Do I have time to catch a flight back to the US that leaves at 9:50am

I am traveling on Sea Borne from St Kitts to San Juan, and have 1 hour and 20 mins to connect to my Delta flight that goes to Atlanta. Is 1 hour and 20 mins enough to get through customs and will we need to recheck luggage after going through customs?
ZAP 07/27/2017
Is it one reservation or two separate reservations? If it's two separate reservations I don't think that's enough time, especially when you consider that Seaborne flights are frequently delayed.

We are looking to fly from EIS at 10:00 am to San Juan and then to Baltimore 6:00
After clearing customs in San Juan do we have to stay in airport or we can get out?
Even with checked baggage?
Any suggestions for airlines from Tortola to San Juan?
We have flights from San Juan to Tortola on Seaborne
Thanks
ZAP 07/27/2017
You can leave the airport. Cape Air is the most reliable airline from Tortola to San Juan, but Seaborne has the biggest planes.

We are group flying in on American, Spirit airlines and jet blue
All have checked luggage flying in from United States
Where do we meet? Before or after baggage claim
Our flight arrive within an hour of each other
ZAP 04/17/2017
I suggest meeting at/after baggage claim. You don't want anybody leaving their bags on the baggage claim while you're waiting up in the lobby. They could get stolen or mishandled.
Max 04/17/2017
Thank you, great suggestion
Where is a good place to meet AFTER we
Get out of baggage claim
Is there a restaurant or somewhere obvious?

flying in on jet blue and catching vieques airlink flight to vieques -do i need to go thru tsa if i have no checked bags? or can i go straight to val gates
ZAP 02/13/2017
you should be able to go straight to the gate.
trex 02/14/2017
thats what i thought-but val representative told me that things have changed and 1hour 10 min will not be enough time for me to get to gate she seemed to think that i need to go out then back thru tsa-in the past 15 years or so i've always deplaned and just gone to commuter area-last year it was a bit of a walk to an old area of airport ?according to airport maps val and jet blue are both in concorse A? is this true?

ZAP 02/14/2017
Yes, both are in concourse A.

Hi, I am flying into SJU from Miami. If my flight lands at 2:30pm will I be able to be outside of the airport by 3:20pm? Are there any lines US citizens have to go through when entering the country/exiting the airport? (I will not have a checked bag)
Thanks!
ZAP 02/03/2017
There are no border controls when flying between the mainland US and Puerto Rico. All you have to do is leave the airport. So yes, as long as your flight is on-time you should have plenty of time.

Arrive 3:14pm SJU via WestJet (Pre-clear US customs in Toronto) concourse B. Need to get to Seaborne (concourse D) for 6:25pm to fly to Tortola (EIS). After collecting bags, what is procedure to get to Seaborne check-in? Does it involve any line-ups? If plane is delayed, how long should this take?
Appreciate any help/advice - thanks!
ZAP 01/19/2017
You will walk to Seaborne Check-in, check your bags, and then go through security. You should have plenty of time. it's far more likely your Seaborne flight will be delayed than your Westjet flight.
Roger S 01/19/2017
Thanks :)

Hi - We will be traveling from St Kitts to San Juan via Seaborne with 1 hour between connection to ATL on Delta with checked bags. A few concerns/questions:

1. Will our checked bags make it through SJU to ATL from the Seaborne ST Kitts flight in your opinion?
2. Do we go through customs in SJU or ATL?
3. It appears from reading the responses that we do not have to go back through security in SJU (assuming customs will be ATL).

Thanks!
ZAP 06/09/2016
You will have to go through US Immigraiton and Customs in San Juan. This is a very difficult connection if not impossible.
gcollins 06/09/2016
Thanks....I was told by Delta that we would go through customs in Atlanta instead of San Juan?
ZAP 06/09/2016
Whoever you talked to with Delta was thoroughly confused. There is no immigration or customs after flight from Puerto Rico - they are domestic flights.
Johra 06/02/2016
I am flying from Dominica to SJU on Liat and scheduled to land in SJU at 12:25 pm. I have an option to fly back to the US on United Airlines at 1:45 pm, 2:22 pm or 4:37 pm. I will be carrying on, no checked bag, can I Make the 1:45? The date will be July 8th
ZAP 06/02/2016
I would book the 2:22 at the minimum
