    POP to San Juan Puerto Rico

    I'm thinking about booking a trip, however the dates I have in mind leave a fairly short time between flights. I would have 50 minutes between flights on the way down, and 70 minutes on the return. I'm more concerned about the flight back, and making it through customs. I would appreciate anyones experience flying through San Juan and customs.

    Also, the flight from POP is on an American Eagle ATR 72 (twin prop plane) with (I think) boarding and exiting in the rear if I'm not mistaken as it will help decide with the seat selection. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I know a few guys that make the drive up but it seems like a hassle to me. I appreciate the input, and I don't think I'm going to gamble on making the return connection. I'll start playing around with Feb. dates.

    Try doing a multi-city flight trip. Arrive in POP and leave from SDQ. This will allow you greater flexibility in choosing a return time that fits your schedule. Also, if you arrive early, and with your background, you can schedule in fun in Santo Domingo.
