Jetblue 25 Segment 3

Posts from this Trip Report:

The third segment was perhaps the most memorable of them all. This was where I took a solid week off from work and went full vacation mode for half of my journey.

Date Route Flight Time
OCT19 JFK - TPA - CUN 07:30AM - 12:40PM
OCT22 CUN - FLL - SJU 01:00PM - 08:19PM
OCT23 SJU - STT 01:55PM - 02:35PM
OCT26 STT - SJU - PVD 03:17PM - 10:25PM
OCT27 BOS - RIC 08:15PM - 10:11PM
NOV01 BOS - DEN 09:45AM - 12:31PM
NOV10 FLL - LGA 08:10PM - 11:02PM
NOV16 BOS - PHX 04:54PM - 08:49PM

You'll notice some odd non-continuous routings here. It didn't really make sense for me to fly Jetblue back to BOS or FLL given I had already hit the destinations. So quite a few repositioning flights here, but I had plenty of flight credits to use.

But this segment was the most fun mostly because of the 3 days I spent in St Thomas. I was only supposed to be there for 2 days, but because of a water main leak in Puerto Rico, the entire old town San Juan had no running water when I landed. Luckily, St Thomas flights are typically very fairly priced from SJU, so I made a last-minute switch to fly the very next day.

I had only visited St Thomas while stopping over on a cruise, so didn't really get the full experience. This time I chose to rent a car, live on top of the hill, and embrace the island life. I met some incredible people in my short stint here, and I'm definitely going to be back in the future!
