Tampa to San Juan

What the Data Says About TPA to SJU

The Tampa to San Juan corridor (TPA → SJU) covers roughly 1,237 miles and is served by 21 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 8,151 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 77.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 69.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,022 flights were recorded on this pairing — 31 cancelled (1.0%) and 5 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 21 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 8,151 total flights analyzed, the 77.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 69.5-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 64% on-time — a 30-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the TPA to SJU route, the combination of a 77.8% on-time rate, 69.5-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 21 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
