PHILIPSBURG:--- Air service to the cosmopolitan island of St. Maarten continues to increase with the news of Seaborne Airlines, the fastest growing airline in the Caribbean, launching daily non-stop service between Luis Munoz Marin International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten, which commenced March 3, 2014.
Fares between San Juan and St. Maarten begin as low as $88 one way, taxes and fees included. Flights can be reserved through local travel agencies or via SeaborneAirlines.com, Expedia and Travelocity.
"This new service will add additional flight options for North American visitors traveling to St. Maarten," said Edward Dest, interim director of tourism for the St. Maarten Tourist Bureau. "With direct flights roughly an hour long each way, it also makes it easier for Puerto Ricans to visit St. Maarten on a whim for a quick shopping trip in our duty-free paradise," he added.
